About this document
CRISPR Enhances Drought Tolerance in Potatoes by Abida Anjum is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This research investigates the CRISPR/Cas9 editing of the CBP80 gene in potato (Solanum tuberosum) to enhance drought tolerance. The study successfully produced eight partially edited lines, with two selected for detailed analysis, which showed improved physiological traits under drought conditions and reduced yield penalties. These findings highlight the potential of genome editing in developing stress-resilient potato varieties, emphasizing CBP80 as a significant target for crop improvement.
