Abstract

This study reports the creation of herbicide-resistant rice lines via CRISPR-Cas9-mediated editing of the 3′ UTR of OsHPPD . Resistance index calculations revealed that two resistant lines, TS8-2 # -10 and TS8-8 # -6, exhibited 4.8-fold and 3.7-fold greater resistance to HPPD-inhibiting herbicides compared with the wild type, YG3012.
