CRISPR turns red perilla green and boosts its antioxidants
Scientists have successfully used CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing to change the color of red perilla plants to green. This modification aims to enhance the plant's metabolic processes and increase the production of health-promoting bioactive compounds for industrial use.
How can gene editing be used to improve plant health benefits? This is what a recent study published in Frontiers in Plant Science hopes to address as a team of scientists investigated a novel method for plant gene editing. This study has the potential to help scientists, farmers, and the public better understand the benefits of gene editing for plants and how it could be used to enhance the pharmaceutical and food industries.
