Conventional genetic transformation is a huge obstacle to the efficient development and application of plant genome-editing (GE) technologies. Recently, Maher et al. reported successful GE by de novo reprogramming plant meristems in somatic tissues, which sidesteps tissue culture-based transformation and promises to significantly enhance the utility of plant GE.
传统的遗传转化是植物基因组编辑(GE)技术高效发展和应用的巨大障碍。最近,Maher 等人报道了通过从头重编程体细胞组织中的植物分生组织成功进行 GE,这绕过了基于组织培养的转化,有望显著提高植物 GE 的实用性。
