CRISPR/Cas9-mediated SiZAT12 mutagenesis enhances drought tolerance without yield penalty in foxtail millet (Setaria italica)
• The knockout of SiZAT12 enhanced the drought tolerance of foxtail millet. • Knockout of SiZAT12 did not result in a yield penalty while improving drought resistance in foxtail millet. • The knockout of SiZAT12 improved cold tolerance and the germination rate under salt stress
