  • FLORIGEN PATHWAY TOOLKIT
    Publication number: 20200299705
    Abstract: Described herein is a florigen pathway toolkit that comprises mutations in genes in the florigen pathway in Solanaceae, such as mutations in genes in the florigen pathway in tomatoes, that are useful to quantitatively modulate or adjust the balance of opposing flowering signals to customize and improve shoot architecture and flowering (flowering time) for tomato breeding, particularly for fresh market tomato breeding.

  • COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS FOR GENERATING WEAK ALLELES IN PLANTS
    Publication number: 20200199604
    Abstract: Provided herein are compositions and methods for generating alleles of genes of interest in plants. In some aspects, libraries of plants or seeds are provided that comprise an expression construct comprising a RNA-guided endonuclease (e.g., a Cas9 endonuclease) and multiple different guide RNAs that target regions of the gene of interest, such as regulatory regions.
