Scientists have developed a new technique that could make genetically engineering any type of plant—in particular, gene editing with CRISPR-Cas9—simple and quick. Also, the technique allows gene modifications or deletions that in the United States and countries other than the European Union would not trigger the designation "genetically modified," or GMO.
