CRISPRi-based Circuits to Control Gene Expression in Plants

CRISPRi-based Circuits to Control Gene Expression in Plants

Academic Background In the field of plant biotechnology, traditional gene manipulation methods focus on producing the desired phenotypes and cellular activities through continuous transgene expression. However, strong continuous promoters may lead to gene silencing, metabolic burdens, or other adverse effects on yield, preventing the full realizati...
