Technical Description

Protein internalizations into cells play important roles for the biological function in various organisms. By designing the protein architecture, proteins for genome editing are delivered into plant cells.  

Technical advantages:

  • Delivery of biomacromolecules int plant cells with intact cell walls
  • Genome editing without delivering nucleic acids materials

Application Destination

  • Delivery of genome editing modules into plant cells
  • Creating genome editing plants without any insertion of foreign genes
