We started 1st CEN transformation in Dec ‘21, saw flowers in Apr ’22, repeated and stacked traits by multiplex editing, cumulating in a pub in <2 years for #flowering traits that used to take decades to study.

A curious side project made possible by #CRISPR. Practical application is still a ways off, but at least experimental iteration for reproductive trait improvement in poplar will take only years rather than decades. #breeding
