Description
Sankhadeep Chowdhury and co-authors build a gene-editing library for indica rice in a 2026 study. Rice genome data abound, yet the roles of most genes stay unknown. Editing libraries can test genes at scale, but indica varieties resist the lab steps involved.
Their library targets twelve thousand genes in a widely grown indica cultivar. Checks showed high guide coverage and accuracy above eighty percent. Nine in ten edited plants carried a change at the intended site. One mutant revealed a gene that boosts root growth: plants lacking it grew fewer, shorter roots. Hormone levels stayed normal, hinting at a specialized role. The platform opens indica rice to systematic gene hunts.
