Genome-edited ATP BINDING CASSETTE B1 transporter SD8 knockouts show optimized rice architecture without yield penalty.

ABSTRACT: This study reports the identification of the rice open reading frame Semi-Dwarf in chr8 (SD8) that encodes a putative ortholog of Arabidopsis thaliana ABCB1. Genome editing of SD8 leads to optimized rice architecture by reducing plant height and flag-leaf angle without yield penalty. Rice SD8 knockouts may also have the potential for increased yield under high density planting.
