Abstract

In a recent study, Weiss et al. presented an RNA virus-based system that transmits the compact genome editor TnpB into Arabidopsis thaliana, resulting in transgene-free and heritable modifications. This innovation transforms DNA delivery methods in plant biotechnology, providing a more straightforward, scalable, and regulatory-compliant approach to genome engineering.
