Chinese scientists develop gene-editing technique to create shorter, more resilient corn.

Chinese scientists have developed a gene-editing technique to create shorter, more densely plantable, and lodging-resistant corn varieties. By modifying the Br2 gene, the method allows rapid and precise changes to plant height, crucial for improving corn's role in global food security. The research was conducted by the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences and partner universities.
