Gene Details:

• Gene ID: TraesCS4D02G284wda700
• Gene Symbol: TaMTL-4C
• Gene Name:
• Genome: Chinese_Spring1.0
• Species: Triticum aestivum

Functional Descriptions:

• TaWaxy and TaMTL, were edited with high efficiency by the optimized SpCas9 system, with the highest efficiency (80.5%) being achieved when using TaU3 and two sgRNAs to target TaWaxy.
• A haploid induction rate of 18.9% was found in the TaMTL-edited T1 plants using the CRISPR/SpCas9 system. Mutants with reverse insertion of the deleted sequences of TaMTL and TaWaxy between the two sgRNAs were identified in the edited T0 plants.
• In addition, wheat grains lacking embryos or endosperms were observed in the TaMTL-edited T1 generation.
• We then applied the optimized system to edit TaMTL and TaWaxy to develop the induction of haploids and to improve starch quality.
