Creating Herbicide-Resistant Peanuts through Prime Editing
Plant physiology·March 28, 2026AI Curation
✨AI Summary (Beta)Beta
We used prime editing to introduce herbicide resistance in peanuts by editing the ALS gene. Adding the W574L mutation allows most to survive herbicides, but editing efficiency is still low. So, we're looking for better methods.
Prime editing of acetolactate synthase to introduce the W574L mutation confers broad-spectrum herbicide resistance in peanut, though efficiency remains suboptimal and requires further refinement.
