The present disclosure provides plants or plant parts with an altered fruit development phenotype, particularly a seedless or reduced seediness phenotype. A plant or plant part can include a mutation in a SEEDSTICK (STK) gene. These plants or plant parts can be produced via next generation plant breeding technology utilizing targeted gene editing.

This invention relates to recombinant nucleic constructs comprising Type II CRISPR-Cas effector proteins, reverse transcriptases and extended guide nucleic acids and methods of use thereof for modifying nucleic acids in plants.

Described herein are engineered proteins and methods of use of such proteins. Also described herein are complexes, compositions, and systems including engineered proteins of the present invention, each of which may be used for modifying and/or editing a target nucleic acid, such as to generate large deletions or inversions within the target nucleic acid.

This invention relates to compositions and methods for modifying root architecture in a plant through modification of an endogenous Ser-Thr protein kinase gene, such as endogenous PHOSPHOROUS STARVATION TOLERANCE 1 (PSTOL1) nucleic acids. The invention further relates to plants produced using the methods and compositions of the invention.

This invention relates to methods for increasing yield per acre, harvesting efficiency, and the quality of the fruit produced by Rubus plants, or decreasing water and/or nitrogen use in fruit production in Rubus plants, comprising planting Rubus plants at a high density, wherein the Rubus plants comprise at least one mutation in an endogenous gene and exhibit a compact density and the ability to be planted at a high density.

This invention relates to compositions and methods for modifying a Leucine Rich Repeat Receptor Like Protein Kinase (LRR-RLK) gene in plants to increase kernel row number. The invention further relates to plants having increased kernel row number produced using the methods and compositions of the invention.

This invention relates to compositions and methods for modifying More Axillary Growth 1 (MAX1) genes in plants, optionally to improve plant architecture and/or improved yield traits. The invention further relates to plants having improved plant architecture and/or improved yield traits produced using the methods and compositions of the invention.

Described herein are engineered proteins and methods of use of such proteins. Also described herein are complexes, compositions, and systems including engineered proteins of the present invention, each of which may be used for modifying and/or editing a target nucleic acid. An engineered protein of the present invention may be an enzyme and/or may be an RNA-guided DNA-binding protein.

This invention relates to compositions and methods for modifying Cytokinin Receptor Histidine Kinase (HK) genes in plants, optionally to improve yield traits, the HK genes encoding a histidine kinase (HK) polypeptide. The invention further relates to plants having increased improved yield traits produced using the methods and compositions of the invention.

This invention relates to compositions and methods for modifying TFL genes in Rosaceae plants to remove or reduce the dependency on environmental triggers for flowering, optionally producing plants having improved characteristics for breeding and production, optionally, including a reduced time to initiate flowering, a longer duration of flowering, and/or improved yield characteristics. The invention further relates to Rosaceae plants produced using the methods and compositions of the invention.
