In the coming decades, maintaining a steady food supply for the increasing world population
will require high-yielding crop plants which can be productive under increasingly variable …

The availability of genome sequences for several crops and advances in genome editing
approaches has opened up possibilities to breed for almost any given desirable trait …

CRISPR/Cas enables a targeted modification of DNA sequences. Despite their ease and
efficient use, one limitation is the potential occurrence of associated off-target effects. This …

Conventional methods of DNA sequence insertion into plants, using Agrobacterium-
mediated transformation or microprojectile bombardment, result in the integration of the DNA …

It has been a challenge to support the expansion of urban agriculture (UA) in cities due to its
poor economic profitability. However, it is also hard to deny the increasing benefits of UA in …

Abiotic stressors are major constraints that affect agricultural plant physio-morphological and
biochemical attributes, resulting in a loss of normal functioning and, eventually, a severe …

Abiotic stresses, including drought, salinity, cold, heat, and heavy metals, extensively
reducing global agricultural production. Traditional breeding approaches and transgenic …

Genome editing is a relevant, versatile, and preferred tool for crop improvement, as well as
for functional genomics. In this review, we summarize the advances in gene-editing …

Horticultural crops provide humans with many valuable products. The improvement of the
yield and quality of horticultural crops has been receiving increasing research attention …

Background Within the last decades, genome-editing techniques such as CRISPR/Cas,
