Abstract: The present invention is directed to methods and compositions for breeding plants with an altered flavor or odor profile. Particularly, next generation plant breeding technologies are utilized for producing plants with target genes edited to reduce pungency in flavor or odor. The breeding method is capable of producing mustard plants in which the mustard bomb reaction is disarmed and/or plants with a reduced pungency and/or bitterness in flavor and/or odor.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides methods and compositions for generating transgene-free plants. Particularly, the transgene-free plants are regenerated by transient expression of morphogenic regulators in a plant cell that is precisely edited using a gene-editing methodology. Also, provided are transformed plants, plant cell, tissues, and seeds in which a target gene is edited, but non-transgenic.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides plants with an altered fruit development phenotype, particularly a seedless or reduced seediness phenotype. These plants are produced via next generation plant breeding technology utilizing targeted gene editing.
