Agronomic traits of crops are controlled by major genes and quantitative trait loci （QTL）. Therefore, the CRISPR/Cas9 system can be used to effectively and rapidly produce mutant traits by different strategies （Figure 1A-1C）. The most common application of the targeted editing system in genetic improvement is to knock out completely the functions of target genes, usually by editing site（s） in the coding sequences （CDS） to produce null-allele mutants （Figure 1A）.展开更多
