Abstract Ribonucleoprotein (RNP) complex–mediated base editing is expected to be greatly beneficial because of its reduced off-target effects compared to plasmid- or viral vector–mediated gene editing, especially in therapeutic applications. However, production of recombinant cytosine base editors (CBEs) or adenine base editors (ABEs) with ample yield and high purity in…

INTRODUCTION Charles R. Darwin documented inbreeding depression as growth disadvantages from self-fertilization compared to outcrossing in many plants (1). Prevailing hypotheses suggest that inbreeding depression results from the exposure of deleterious recessive alleles and/or loss of overdominant alleles due to increased homozygosity (2, 3) or reduced recombination frequency in some…
