Our Mission
In our project, we try to develop transgene-free elite Brassica napus varieties utilizing CRISPR/Cas9 or other nucleases.
At the end of the project, we foresee that we will have developed novel methods for identification of protein variants that can be used to improve growth, transgene-free conceptual and experimental frameworks for utilization of CRISPR technology and deliver improved rapeseed germplasm to end-users.
