Chloroplast Genome Editing Eliminates Gluten Immunogenicity in Triticum aestivum
PubMed · 2026-02-20
Scientists used gene editing to remove nearly all the proteins in bread wheat that trigger celiac disease, while keeping the wheat's baking properties intact and field yields essentially unchanged.
1
Gene editing reduced harmful immunogenic proteins in bread wheat by 97%, nearly eliminating the celiac disease trigger.
2
Immune cells from celiac disease patients showed no reaction when exposed to flour from the edited wheat lines.
3
Field crop yields from edited wheat were within 2% of unmodified wheat, confirming no meaningful agricultural trade-off.
