Abstract
This invention relates to compositions and methods for modifying Brassinosteroid Insensitive-1 (BRI1) genes in plants, optionally to improve yield traits. The invention further relates to plants having increased improved yield traits produced using the methods and compositions of the invention.
Claims4
A guide nucleic acid comprising a spacer having at least 90% complementarity to a target site in a soybean Brassinosteroid Insensitive-1 (BRI1) gene, wherein the target site is in a region of the soybean BRI1 gene located (a) from about nucleotide 2-213 with reference to nucleotide position numbering of SEQ ID NO:69 and the spacer has at least 90% complementarity to a sequence in any one of the nucleotide sequences of SEQ ID NOs:
- 74-79, and/or (b) from about nucleotide 1-267 with reference to nucleotide position numbering of SEQ ID NO:80 and the spacer has at least 90% complementarity to a sequence in any one of the nucleotide sequences of SEQ ID NOs:
- 84-95.
