    Abstract: A plant selection apparatus has a storage means for storing a plurality of image datasets of plants and associated plant information including at least one of genotype information of the plants, phenotype information of the plants, and pedigree information of the plants. A selection unit preselects a subset of the plants. A display device displays the image datasets of the subset of the plants. A tracking unit generates observation information including information on which of the subset of the plants is observed, and the storage means is configured for storing the observation information. A training unit trains a classifier based on the observation information, the input selection, and the plant information including said at least one of the genotype information, the phenotype information, and the pedigree information.

    Abstract: The invention pertains to the targeted alteration of a duplex DNA in a cell, whereby two site-specific nucleases generate an indel, such that the open reading frame is not altered after the second indel. The invention further pertains to the use of such nucleases for the targeted alteration of an open reading frame in duplex DNA and a kit of parts for use in a method of the invention. Using the method of the invention, novel plants were obtained having an improved herbicide resistance. The invention therefore also concerns plants having improved herbicide resistance due to the expression of an altered ALS protein.

    Abstract: Disclosed is a new method of providing plant cells with a targeted alteration in a DNA molecule. The method comprises contacting a population of plant cells comprising a DNA molecule, the DNA molecule having a target sequence, with an aqueous medium, wherein the aqueous medium comprises a CRISPR associated protein (CAS protein) or a CAS-like protein, and a CRISPR-Cas system guide RNA that hybridizes with the target sequence, and wherein the aqueous medium comprises polyethylene glycol (PEG), but needs to be substantially free of glycerol.
