Viral delivery of an RNA-guided genome editor for transgene-free germline editing in Arabidopsis - Nature Plants
Weiss et al. engineered the tobacco rattle virus to express the RNA-guided TnpB enzyme ISYmu1 and guide RNA for transgene-free germline editing in Arabidopsis thaliana.

Transcription factors instruct DNA methylation patterns in plant reproductive tissues
DNA methylation is maintained by forming self-reinforcing connections with other repressive chromatin modifications, resulting in stably silenced genes and transposons. However, these mechanisms fail ...
