Genome editing by the CRISPR/Cas9 system has recently been used to produce gene
knockout lines in many plant species. We applied this system to analyze Japanese gentian …

Ornamental gentian plants have vivid-blue flowers. The main factor contributing to the flower
colour is the accumulation of a polyacylated delphinidin 'gentiodelphin'in their petals …

Background The blue pigmentation of Japanese gentian flowers is due to a polyacylated
anthocyanin, gentiodelphin, and all associated biosynthesis genes and several regulatory …

CRISPR/Cas, one of the most rapidly developing technologies in the world, has been
applied successfully in plant science. To test new nucleases, gRNA expression systems and …

Background CRISPR/Cas9 technology is one of the most powerful and useful tools for
genome editing in various living organisms. In higher plants, the system has been widely …

Various colored cultivars of ornamental flowers have been bred by hybridization and
mutation breeding; however, the generation of blue flowers for major cut flower plants, such …

The CRISPR/Cas9 system is a remarkably promising tool for targeted gene mutagenesis,
and becoming ever more popular for modification of ornamental plants. In this study we …

CRISPR/Cas9 technology is a versatile tool for targeted mutagenesis in many organisms,
including plants. However, this technique has not been applied to the Japanese morning …

Recently marketed genetically modified violet carnations cv. Moondust and Moonshadow
(Dianthus caryophyllus) produce a delphinidin type anthocyanin that native carnations …

CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing technology has been very effective in editing genes in many
plant species including rice. Here we further improve the current CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing …
