My research project
- Description
- Objectives
- Outcomes
Modifying plant architecture using CRISPR/Cas9 to develop designer ideotypes.
- Optimisation of the current tissue culture light condition.
- Development of ExpressEdit technology for genome editing in barley.
- To accelerate transgenic research and genome editing pipelines.
- ExpressEdit technology will help to edit key genes in barely in glasshouse conditions.
