CRISPR/Cas9 system is one of the most often utilized engineering tools for genome editing in many organisms including crop plants and presents great value in both basic and applied research. This is a preferred method because of its relative simplicity, cost-effectiveness, and reliability. The Cas9 nuclease guided by a short single guide RNA (gRNA) can generate double-strand DNA breaks (DSB) at the specific sites in chromosomal DNA.

- Sorghum serves as a crucial crop for food and feed, and this study assessed its mini core collection and reference set across various traits like flowering time, plant height, and juice weight in multiple environments.
- The research identified several quantitative trait loci (QTLs) related to flowering, biomass, and plant height, including a significant QTL on chromosome 6 linked to multiple traits.
- Transgenic experiments on a specific gene, SbSNF4-2, showed that it can enhance biomass and sugar content while delaying flowering, suggesting its potential for improving crop yields.
