The Multi-Crop project introduces a novel CRISPR technology to enhance crop breeding by targeting multiple genes simultaneously. This approach aims to uncover hidden traits that improve plant resilience and food security.
The need to accelerate crop breeding programs has never been greater, as the world population is exponentially increasing, the climate is changing, and resources are limited.
Breeding relies on genetic variation.
However, it is impossible to alter many phenotypes by introducing genetic variation in a single gene due to large gene families with high functional redundancy.
For example, in tomato and rice, ~80% of coding genes belong to multi-gene families.
Therefore, in many cases, mutating multip…
