Wild tomato (Solanum peruvianum) is an important genetic source for the tomato breeding, but the progress has been hampered due to the self-incompatibility and highly heterozygous genome. Yao-Cheng Lin, Choun-Sea Lin, and Ming-Che Shih from Agricultural Biotechnology Research Center developed a DNA-free CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing tool based on an optimized protoplast regeneration protocol that creates stable and inheritable diploid and tetraploid regenerants. The study was published in Plant Physiology<\/em> and selected as the cover image for the April Issue.<\/p>\n
