  • Publication number: 20230404009
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method for treating rice. The method comprises the steps of: providing a domestic rice crop plant and at least one ACCase-inhibiting aryloxyphenoxypropanoate herbicide selected from the group consisting of quizalofop or an ester thereof, haloxyfop, fluazifop or an ester thereof, clodinafop, clodinafop-propargyl, diclofop, and diclofop-methyl; applying an effective amount (measured in g AI/Ha) of the at least one aryloxyphenoxypropanoate herbicide to the domestic rice crop plant, post-emergence; thereby creating a treated rice plant; and growing the resulting treated rice plant.

  • Publication number: 20230183686
    Abstract: Methods for modification of target nucleic acids. The method involves a construct in which guide RNA is covalently linked to donor RNA (fusion NA) to be introduced into the target nucleic acid by homologous recombination and is based on the introduction of a nuclease, e.g. CRISPR or TALEN, into the cell containing the target nucleic acid. The fusion NA may be introduced as a DNA vector.
