Although CRISPR/Cas9 is a huge advance in plant breeding, it remains an expensive and laborious solution, making its application in most plants infeasible. Recent advances by a team of scientists at the Max Planck Institute for Molecular Plant Physiology in Germany overcome these limitations.   Recently, scientists at the Max Planck Institute for Molecular Plant Physiology are applying a breakthrough in the CRISPR tool (aka "gene scissors") to edit plant genomes, marking a change in approa...
