Abstract:
... Fruit-tree breeding is a lengthy process with many limitations. Classical breeding strategies using conventional cross-breeding and induced mutations have played an important role in the development of new cultivars in fruit trees. Precise genome editing could be a very useful supplementary tool for the improvement of crop plants. Various genome editing techniques including ZFNs, TALENs, and most ...
