Watermelon plants edited to survive common herbicide without added genes
PubMed · 2026-07-06
Scientists used a precise gene-editing tool to make watermelon naturally resistant to glyphosate herbicide, without introducing foreign DNA. The resulting plants tolerate real-world herbicide doses and can be used as breeding parents to pass this trait to new varieties.
1
Prime editing of the watermelon EPSPS gene conferred glyphosate resistance without inserting foreign DNA
2
Heterozygous mutant plants tolerated field-level herbicide doses with no measurable growth penalty
3
Visible markers in the editing platform allow breeders to identify and select edited plants for use as parental lines
