Alternative splicing (AS) of precursor mRNAs (pre-mRNAs) from multiexon genes allows
organisms to increase their coding potential and regulate gene expression through multiple …

Alternative splicing and alternative polyadenylation (APA) of pre-mRNAs greatly contribute
to transcriptome diversity, coding capacity of a genome and gene regulatory mechanisms in …

Sequence-specific nucleases have been exploited to create targeted gene knockouts in
various plants 1, but replacing a fragment and even obtaining gene insertions at specific loci …

Cassava brown streak disease (CBSD) is a major constraint on cassava yields in East and
Central Africa and threatens production in West Africa. CBSD is caused by two species of …

Alternative splicing was discovered simultaneously with splicing over three decades ago.
Since then, an enormous body of evidence has demonstrated the prevalence of alternative …

Understanding abiotic stress responses in plants is an important and challenging topic in
