A new F131V mutation in Chlamydomonas phytoene desaturase locates a cluster of norflurazon resistance mutations near the FAD-binding site in 3D protein models. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 The green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii provides a tractable genetic model to study herbicide mode of action using forward genetics. The herbicide norflurazon inhibits phytoene desaturase, which is required for carotenoid synthesis.

Efficient knockout of phytoene desaturase gene using CRISPR/Cas9 in melon. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2019 AbstractCRISPR/Cas9 system has been widely applied in many plant species to induce mutations in the genome for studying gene function and improving crops. However, to our knowledge, there is no report of CRISPR/Cas9-mediated genome editing in melon (Cucumis melo).

CRISPR/Cas9-mediated mutagenesis of Phytoene desaturase in pigeonpea and groundnut
Functional & Integrative GenomicsAbstract The CRISPR/Cas9 technology, renowned for its ability to induce precise genetic alterations in various crop species, has encountered challenges in its application to grain legume crops such as pigeonpea and groundnut. Despite attempts at gene editing in groundnut, the low rates of transformation and editing have impeded its widespread ...
