Generation and Characterization of Novel Low-Amylose Rice Germplasm via Prime Editing of the Wx Promoter

Amylose content (AC) is primarily regulated by the Wx gene and acts as a key determinant of rice eating and cooking quality. Natural low-AC alleles are limited in fine-tuning effects across genetic backgrounds, and studies exploiting natural allelic variation are nearing saturation. Here, we employed prime editing (PE)...
