Seminar: Tim Kelliher – Disrupting Crop Breeding with Genome Editing and Haploid Induction

121 Kilgore Hall 2721 Founders Drive, Raleigh, NC, United States

Dr. Tim Kelliher Principal Scientist, Reproduction Biology, Syngenta Genome editing using CRISPR-Cas9 works efficiently in plant cells, but delivery of genome editing machinery into the vast majority of crop varieties is not possible using established methods. We co-opted the aberrant reproductive process of haploid induction (HI) to induce edits in nascent seeds of diverse monocot…
