Conventional genetic transformation is a huge obstacle to the efficient development and application of plant genome-editing (GE) technologies. Recently, Maher et al. reported successful GE by de novo reprogramming plant meristems in somatic tissues, which sidesteps tissue culture-based transformation and promises to significantly enhance the utility of plant GE.

绕过组织培养实现植物基因组编辑。

传统的遗传转化是有效开发和应用植物基因组编辑（GE）技术的巨大障碍。最近，Maher等人。报道了通过从头开始对体组织中的植物分生组织进行重新编程而成功实现了GE ，这回避了基于组织培养的转化，并有望显着提高植物GE的效用。
