CRISPR shortcut could cut decades from chromosome design in poplars, UGA study shows
In Georgia, improving a tree through traditional breeding can take decades. Aspen and poplar, for example, mature slowly, and every round of crossbreeding means years of waiting before researchers can evaluate the outcome and decide on the next step. University of Georgia researchers have developed a CRISPR-based approach that can create large-scale chromosome rearrangements in […]
