  • GLYPHOSATE TOLERANT PLANTS HAVING MODIFIED 5-ENOLPYRUVYLSHIKIMATE-3-PHOSPHATE SYNTHASE GENE REGULATION
    Publication number: 20190017067
    Abstract: This document provides methods and materials related to plants (e.g., nontransgenic plants) that are tolerant to glyphosate-based herbicides. For example, glyphosate tolerant plants can have an altered expression profile (e.g., increased expression levels) of a 5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate synthase (EPSPS) gene (e.g., a modified EPSPS gene).

  • METHODS FOR USING A 5'-EXONUCLEASE TO INCREASE HOMOLOGOUS RECOMBINATION IN EUKARYOTIC CELLS
    Publication number: 20170175140
    Abstract: Provided herein are materials and methods for gene editing in eukaryotic cells (e.g., plant cells) by homologous recombination, including materials and methods for boosting the frequency of homologous recombination through the application of a 5?-exonuclease for end-processing of DNA double-strand breaks.
