Abstract
Methods and compositions are provided for the improvement of homology-directed repair of a double strand break in a plant cell, via the use of a polynucleotide comprising sequences homologous to the target site. In some aspects, the double strand break is created by an RNA-guided Cas endonuclease. The homology-directed repair of the double-strand break may include incorporation of a heterologous polynucleotide, for example a gene encoding a trait of agronomic importance. The homology-directed repair of the double-strand break may occur as a result of template-directed repair using a polynucleotide repair template.
