Development of low‐prolamin rice germplasm via CRISPR/Cas9 editing to improve eating and cooking quality

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: Simultaneous editing of two major prolamin-encoding genes in rice using a single-guide RNA suppressed prolamin accumulation and reconfigured seed storage protein composition. This targeted modification markedly improved rice eating and cooking quality while maintaining the levels of total starch, total protein, and key agronomic traits.
