Panel of figures, (1) BSA-seq and positional cloning of MGS1, SEM images of spikelets at different stages, and (3) Grain number per panicle among MGS1, mgs19E or mgs1BA45 genotypes.

Using two natural Multi-Grain Spikelet 1 variants, Zhang et al. enhance #grain number in #sorghum, with exciting potential for future high-yield #breeding strategies. Learn more in this #FreeAccess Brief Communication!

A combination of diagrams, graphs and morphological images of WT and Fragrant peanut lines illustrates that targeted knockout of the betaine aldehyde dehydrogenase genes AhBADH1 and AhBADH2 using CRISPR/Cas9 produces mutant lines with significantly elevated 2-acetyl-1-pyrroline levels and a strong aroma, marking the first creation of fragrant peanut lines.

In this #OpenAccess Brief Communication, Xue et al. report on the first fragrant 🥜 #peanut lines, created using a #CRISPR/Cas9 facilitated targeted knockout of the betaine aldehyde dehydrogenase #genes AhBADH1 and AhBADH2!
