The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Genome Editing of Plants (2017, background): “If the break is repaired by homologous recombination (HR), information is copied from a DNA template during the repair process (Puchta, 2005).”
Comparison of nonhomologous end joining and homologous recombination in human cells (2008, background): “Yeast rely heavily on HR while in mammals and plants NHEJ is the preferred pathway [11,12].”
Advancing Crop Transformation in the Era of Genome Editing[OPEN] (2016, background): “This pathway often results in small changes at the repaired site and can be used to perform targeted mutagenesis to alter gene expression or function (Puchta, 2005; Wang et al., 2014; Li et al., 2012).”
The CRISPR/Cas9 system for plant genome editing and beyond. (2015, background): “Even though the generation of breaks in both DNA strands induces recombination at specific genomic loci, NHEJ is by far the most common DSB repair mechanism in most organisms, including higher plants, and the frequency of targeted integration by HR remains much lower than random integration (Puchta,”
