In most crop breeding programs, the rate of yield increment is insufficient to cope with the
increased food demand caused by a rapidly expanding global population. In plant breeding …

Genome editing (GE) has revolutionized biological research through the new ability to
precisely edit the genomes of living organisms. In recent years, various GE tools have been …

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 …

To meet increasing global food demand, breeders and scientists aim to improve the yield
and quality of major food crops. Plant diseases threaten food security and are expected to …

Lignin modifying enzymes from fungi and bacteria are potential biocatalysts for sustainable
mitigation of different potentially toxic pollutants in wastewater. Notably, the paper and pulp …

Genome editing by sequence-specific nucleases (SSNs) has revolutionized biology by
enabling targeted modifications of genomes. Although routine plant genome editing …

CRISPR/Cas9 and Cas12a (Cpf1) nucleases are two of the most powerful genome editing
tools in plants. In this work, we compared their activities by targeting maize glossy2 gene …

Over the last three decades, the development of new genome editing techniques, such as
ODM, TALENs, ZFNs and the CRISPR‐Cas system, has led to significant progress in the …

Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is the major food source for more than three billion people of the
world. In the last few decades, the classical, mutational, and molecular breeding approaches …

The development of clustered regularly interspaced short-palindromic repeat (CRISPR)-Cas
systems for genome editing has transformed the way life science research is conducted and …
