  • CRISPR\/Cas9 targeting of a cis<\/em>-regulatory motif recreated a domestication QTL<\/li>\n
  • CRISPR\/Cas9 drove mutagenesis of promoters to create a continuum of variation<\/li>\n
  • Phenotypic effects were not predictable from allele type or transcriptional change<\/li>\n
  • Selected promoter alleles in developmental genes could improve yield traits<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
