The small crucifer bears complex leaves divided into leaflets. This is in contrast to its relative, the reference plant , which has simple leaves. Comparative studies between these species provide attractive opportunities to study the diversification of form. Here, we report on the implementation of the CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing methodology in and with it the generation of novel alleles in the gene, which was previously shown to play a major role in the diversification of form between the two species. Thus, genome editing can now be deployed in , thereby increasing its versatility as a model system to study gene function and evolution.
这种小型十字花科植物长有复杂的叶子，这些叶子分裂成小叶。这与其近缘参考植物形成对比，后者具有单叶。对这些物种进行比较研究，为研究形态多样化提供了有吸引力的机会。在这里，我们报告了CRISPR/Cas9基因组编辑方法在[物种名称]中的应用，以及利用该方法在[基因名称]基因中产生的新等位基因，先前的研究表明该基因在这两个物种的形态多样化中起主要作用。因此，现在可以在[物种名称]中应用基因组编辑技术，从而增加其作为研究基因功能和进化的模型系统的通用性。
