LAZY4D - Enhanced Root Architecture

Tech ID: 19.657

Key Features

• Simple, single residue change in LAZY4, or paralogues, confers fully dominant steep/deep root phenotype
• Highly conserved across plants, including key agricultural crop species
• Achievable by mutation breeding and genome editing
• Provides approaches to screening/selecting existing genetic variation

Description

Single residue modification gives deeper/steeper root system. Target domain is highly conserved in crop species. The modified allele is completely dominant, providing a simple genome editable approach to enhancing root system architecture.
