Genome editing is a promising tool to enhance plant breeding, particularly for the generation of practical quantitative traits. We focused on the rice yield-related gene TAWAWA1 (TAW1) and produced various degrees of increased panicle branching phenotypes by modifying its downstream conserved noncoding sequence (CNS). Differential modification of two highly conserved regions containing putative repressive elements in this CNS caused transcriptional upregulation of TAW1, resulting in diverse phenotypes.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
