Zusammenfassung: | The present disclosure provides compositions and methods for altering gibberellin (GA) content in corn or other cereal plants. Methods and compositions are also provided for altering the expression of genes related to gibberellin biosynthesis through editing of a specific GA20 oxidase gene or locus to produce a genomic deletion or disruption that brings an antisense sequence of the GA20 oxidase gene under the control of a neighboring SAMT gene promoter. Modified plant cells and plants having a dominant allele reducing the expression or activity of one or more GA oxidase genes are further provided comprising reduced gibberellin levels and improved characteristics, such as reduced plant height and increased lodging resistance, but without off-types. |
