A graft that crafts nontransgenic and genome-edited plants.

Grafting in plants facilitates the transmission of biomolecules across the union formation. Recently, Yang et al. demonstrated that inter- and intraspecific grafting in plants can be exploited for trafficking tRNA-tagged mobile reagents of the clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)/Cas system from the transgenic rootstock to wild-type scion for genetic improvement in plants through targeted mutagenesis.
