A strategy for decreasing prolamin content in rice endosperm through gene editing.
Multiplex CRISPR editing of prolamin genes and phenotype-based screening revealed that reducing prolamin content in rice can increase lysine content and digestibility, improve taste. PROLM25 and PROLM26 are key genes for reducing prolamin content, and knocking out these two genes can achieve the same effect.
