Claim 0:
1. A method for editing a specific site in the genome of a corn plant cell, the method comprising:
contacting a target site in an endogenous GRF transcription factor gene in the corn plant cell with an editing system comprising a nucleic acid binding domain that binds to the target site;
cleaving, in a site specific manner, the target site within the endogenous GRF transcription factor gene, the endogenous GRF transcription factor gene comprising a sequence having at least 90% sequence identity to the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO: 304, thereby generating an edit in the endogenous GRF transcription factor gene of the corn plant cell, wherein the edit is located in a region of the endogenous GRF transcription factor gene, the region comprising: (a) the sequence of SEQ ID NO:275 and the edit resulting in the nucleic acid sequence of any one of SEQ ID NOs:276-303, or (b) the sequence of SEQ ID NO:254 and the edit resulting in the nucleic acid sequence of any one of SEQ ID NOs:34-41.
