GENE MODIFICATION-MEDIATED METHODS AND COMPOSITIONS FOR GENERATING DOMINANT TRAITS IN EUKARYOTIC SYSTEMS

摘要

Methods for generating dominate traits in eukaryotic systems using one or more gene modification-mediated methods are disclosed herein. Aspects of the technology are further directed to methods for silencing SbCSE and/or SbCAD2 gene expression or activity in a sorghum plant. Silencing the SbCSE and/or SbCAD2 gene leads to reduced lignin content in sorghum.
