Novel electroporation-based genome editing of carnation plant tissues using RNPs targeting the anthocyanidin synthase gene

In this study, a novel electroporation method was performed for genome editing using plant tissue samples.

For this purpose, a ribonucleoprotein consisting of guide RNA and clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)-associated protein 9 (Cas9) was introduced into the stem tissue to induce mutations in the anthocyanidin synthase (ANS) gene, which is involved in anthocyanin biosynthesis.
