  • Patent number: 10876135
    Abstract: The present invention relates to methods to modify at least one target locus in a plant cell, comprising, providing a plant cell with one or more target loci and one or more donor loci, followed by induction of homologous recombination between homologous regions of at least one target locus and at least one donor locus by at least one rare cleaving nuclease. The present invention related also to target loci, donor loci and nuclease loci used in these methods, and plant cells, plants and plant parts comprising these target loci, donor loci, nuclease loci and/or the recombined loci.
