Overview

Sugarcane L35 displaying CRISPR-mediated loss of function in ~12% of the Lg1 NGS reads exhibited a 18% increase in dry biomass yield under field conditions compared to unmodified sugarcane (WT).

The study aimed to introduce CRISPR/Cas9-mediated, multiallelic mutations at the LIGULELESS1 loci in sugarcane (40+ copies present in var. CP88-1762) to explore if this alters leaf inclination angle for improved canopy level photosynthesis in high density plantings.
