  • COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS FOR INCREASING PERIDERM IN PLANT ROOTS
    Publication number: 20250171794
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides methods for increasing periderm, suberin monomers, and overall suberin production in plants. The present disclosure further provides alteration of gene expression associated with periderm and suberin production in plant roots and methods of altering the gene products by gene-editing systems. Also, provided are compositions for generating plants that possess increased amounts of periderm and/or increased amounts of suberin monomers in their roots as compared to control plants as well as the gene-edited plants possessing said traits.
