Genome Editing of Wheat Alters Spike and Grain Characteristrics
Researchers from Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences used CRISPR-SpCas9 to edit wheat TaAQ and TaDq, transcription factors that are vital in the evolution of the spike characteristics from wild and domesticated emmer to modern wheat cultivars. The findings are released in the Journal of Genetics and Genomics.

”Global food systems are not meeting all the needs of people and planet. Currently, more than two billion people globally are overweight or obese, more than 600 million people fall ill due to unsafe food each year and one in nine people in the world are undernourished. In parallel to issues around malnutrition and safety, one third of the food produced in the world for human consumption every year — approximately 1.3 billion tonnes — gets lost or wasted.”
How to transform food systems and leave fewer people hungry
Food systems aren’t meeting global needs. Consumers and Farmers can change this together.
