1. A method for modifying the genomic material in a plant cell, comprising:
- (a) introducing into the cell a nucleic acid comprising a crRNA and a tracrRNA, or a chimeric cr/tracrRNA hybrid, wherein the crRNA and tracrRNA, or the cr/tracrRNA hybrid, is targeted to a sequence that is endogenous to the plant cell; and
(b) introducing into the cell a Cas9 endonuclease molecule that induces a double strand break at or near the sequence to which the crRNA and tracrRNA sequence is targeted, or at or near the sequence to which the cr/tracrRNA hybrid is targeted.
