CRISPR/Cas9‐mediated tetra‐allelic mutation of the ‘Green Revolution’ SEMIDWARF‐1 (SD‐1) gene confers lodging resistance in tef (Eragrostis tef)

Summary Tef is a staple food and a valuable cash crop for millions of people in Ethiopia. Lodging is a major limitation to tef production, and for decades, the development of lodging resistant varieties proved difficult with conventional breeding approaches. We used CRISPR/Cas9 to introduce knockout...
