Optimized Cas‐SF01 gene‐editing toolbox shortens flowering timing in commercial maize inbred JING724
The gene-editing tool Cas-SF01 was optimized to maximize its efficiency in maize. The Cas-SF01-TREX2 configuration was superior in enabling high-purity gene mutations. This toolkit enabled commercial maize to flower seven days earlier without yield loss, thereby securing harvests and accelerating crop breeding.
