Abstract
This study reports the creation of herbicide-resistant rice lines via CRISPR-Cas9-mediated editing of the 3' UTR of OsHPPD. Resistance index calculations revealed that two resistant lines, TS8-2(#)-10 and TS8-8(#)-6, exhibited 4.8-fold and 3.7-fold greater resistance to HPPD-inhibiting herbicides compared with the wild type, YG3012.
