CRISPR/Cas9-mediated FeS-ELF3 inactivation overcomes heteromorphic self-incompatibility in common buckwheat
Common buckwheat ( Fagopyrum esculentum ) is a climate-resilient pseudocereal; however, its global adoption is constrained by the heteromorphic self-incompatibility associated with distyly. While the S-locus early flowering 3 ( FeS-ELF3 ) gene has been identified as a key regulator of self-compatibility, a stab...
