Loss of Qsd1 or Qsd2 function results in prolonged dormancy in barley. Germination test on wild‐type (WT) and genome‐edited barley qsd1 and qsd2 mutant grains. All grains were after‐ripened at 25 °C for 6 weeks under dry conditions to break dormancy. (a) Representation photographs of WT and mutant grains 7 days after grain imbibition. (b) Mean percentages of germination in wild‐type and mutant lines. Data are shown as means ± standard deviation (SD) from three replicates of 50 grains each. C1; non‐transgenic wild‐type Golden Promise control; C2 and C3, non‐edited control plants segregated from T₀ plants for Qsd1 and Qsd2, respectively. qsd1‐1a, qsd1‐1b, qsd1‐3a, qsd1‐3b, qsd2‐3a, and qsd2‐3b were derived from individual M₂ plants.
