Abstract: Methods and materials for modulating low light and/or shade tolerance, and red light specific responses in plants are disclosed. For example, nucleic acids encoding low light and/or SD+EODFR-tolerance polypeptides are disclosed as well as methods for using such nucleic acids to transform plant cells. Also disclosed are plants having increased low light and/or SD+EODFR tolerance. In addition, methods and materials involved in increasing UV-B tolerance in plants and methods and materials involved in modulating biomass levels in plants are provided.

Abstract: Described are methods and materials for the genetic modification of plants by specific gene targeting and precise editing of nucleic acid sequences in a plant. The methods and materials provided herein enable one to edit the plant genome by design to control the expression of endogenous genes and/or control the transmission and expression of transgenic traits. Provided are also methods of producing plants having a desirable agronomic trait by crossing a transgenic plant expressing a gRNA with a plant expressing a Cas enzyme, and selecting a progeny plant having the desirable agronomic trait or a seed thereof.

Abstract: High throughput methods are described for identifying combinations of mutations that can be used to improve a phenotypic feature in an organism. Large populations of organisms (e.g., plants) containing different combinations of mutations can be assessed using the methods.
