Abstract

An optimized Cas12i3 genome-editing system enables highly efficient and predictable editing of regulatory sequences in rice. Precise promoter engineering fine-tunes gene expression, improves grain size, and enhances production potential, demonstrating a powerful new approach for crop improvement through targeted regulation rather than gene disruption.
