Generation of a New Glutinous Photothermosensitive Genic-Male-Sterile (PTGMS) Line by CRISPR/Cas9-Directed Mutagenesis of Wx in Rice (<i>Oryza sativa</i> L.)

The Photothermosensitive Genic-Male-Sterile (PTGMS) line, Y58S, an indica rice variety, combines high-quality and high-light-efficiency use, disease and stress resistance, and excellent plant type and mating force. Y58S is widely used to assemble two-line hybrid rice varieties, especially super hybr...
