Abstract
The reported method identifies the likelihood that a heritable sequence in a plant is to be passed onto subsequent generations. One or more genome edits are introduced into a plant cell and the gnomic DNA of the resulting plant is analyzed to determine the frequency of the one or more genome edits in the sample. Edits that are present in a quantity above a reference cutoff are considered to have a high likelihood of being heritable and capable of being passed on to subsequent generations. Edits that are present in low quantities are considered to have a low likelihood of being passed on. Plants containing desirable genome edits that are likely to be heritable are then used for cultivation and propagation.
