cultivation of salinity-tolerant cultivars is the most cost-effective and environmentally friendly …

Saline-alkali tolerant rice, as the first selected grain crop for improving coastal tidal land and
saline-alkali land, has great potential for comprehensive utilization. In this study, an elite …

Rice is a premier staple food that constitutes the bulk of the daily diet of the majority of
people in Asia. Agricultural productivity must be boosted to support this huge demand for …

Crop productivity in rice is harshly limited due to high concentration of salt in the soil. To

Dear Editor, Since the first successful completion of genome-based editing in the model
plant Arabidopsis using CRISPR/Cas9 in 2013 (Jiang et al., 2013), a large number of …

Abstract Development of abiotic stress tolerant rice cultivars is necessary for sustainable rice
production under the scenario of global climate change, dwindling fresh water resources …

The CRISPR/Cas9 system is becoming an important genome editing tool for crop breeding.
Although it has been demonstrated that target mutations can be transmitted to the next …

Recent unpredictable climate change is the main reason for the decline in rice yield. In
particular, drought stress is a major constraint in reducing yield and quality for rice at rainfed …

Genome editing of model organisms is essential for gene function analysis and is thus
critical for human health and agricultural production. The current technologies used for …

Significant increases in rice yield and stress resistance are constant demands for breeders.
However, high yield and high stress resistance are often antagonistic to each other. Here …
