The proposal presents an innovative solution, which is to validate candidate drought tolerance genes through genetic transformation (cisgeny) for the development of a banana variety with efficient use of water and a case study with CRISPR/cas9 via gene knock-out PDS (phytoene desaturase) as a model for the species.
