The future of gene editing in canola

An unexpected side effect of gene editing research at the University of Guelph could pay dividends for canola breeders in the years ahead. “We didn’t do the initial experiments with the intent of growing a better canola plant,” said Michael Emes from the University of Guelph. “We accidentally found this remarkable effect when we modified carbohydrate metabolism.” Find out more on the breakthrough from this Western Producer article.
