Abstract

An adenine base-editing system was established to precisely modify the sorghum SbALS gene, generating transgene-free mutant plants. These plants exhibit strong herbicide resistance, with no significant differences in agronomic traits, providing valuable germplasm for herbicide-resistance breeding in sorghum.
