CRISPR/Cas9-mediated editing of carotenoid biosynthesis genes alters carotenoid concentrations in kiwifruit
Overall, we established an efficient Agrobacterium-mediated transformation system using petioles as explants, which is applicable for CRISPR/Cas9-mediated gene editing in kiwifruit, thereby facilitating functional gene studies and genetic improvement.
