Wheat is the most important staple crop in temperate zones and is in increasing demand in
countries undergoing urbanization and industrialization. In addition to being a major source …

With the rapid increase in the global population and the impact of climate change on
agriculture, there is a need for crops with higher yields and greater tolerance to abiotic …

Targeted saturation mutagenesis of crop genes could be applied to produce genetic variants
with improved agronomic performance. However, tools for directed evolution of plant genes …

Targeted base editing in plants without the need for a foreign DNA donor or double-stranded
DNA cleavage would accelerate genome modification and breeding in a wide array of crops …

Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) incurs significant yield losses from powdery mildew, a major
fungal disease caused by Blumeria graminis f. sp. tritici (Bgt). enhanced disease resistance1 …

Sequence-specific nucleases have been applied to engineer targeted modifications in
polyploid genomes, but simultaneous modification of multiple homoeoalleles has not been …

The recent development of adenine base editors (ABEs) has enabled efficient and precise A-
to-G base conversions in higher eukaryotic cells. Here, we show that plant-compatible ABE …

Although high‐amylose starches are not a recent innovation, their popularity in recent years
has been increasing due to their unique functional properties and enhanced nutritional …

The persistent triploid endosperms of cereal crops are the most important source of human
food and animal feed. The development of cereal endosperms progresses through …

Genome editing using engineered nucleases is used for targeted mutagenesis. But because
genome editing does not target all loci with similar efficiencies, the mutation hit-rate at a …
