CRISPR ups corn yields

Scientists Use CRISPR on Edit-Resistant Corn to Boost Yields

Scientists have used pollen carrying CRISPR/Cas9 to genetically edit hard-to-edit crops like corn, opening the door to new ways to boost important crop yields.

CRISPR/Cas9 Used on Edit-Resistant Corn Crops 

Scientists at the North Carolina-based agricultural firm Syngenta have discovered a novel way to use CRISP/cas9 gene-editing techniques on important varieties of corn that have proven especially resistant to the process, according to Science magazine.
