Background Genome editing tools are important for functional genomics research and
biotechnology applications. Recently, the clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic …

Abstract Skp1–Cullin–F-box (SCF) E3 ligases are essential to the post-translational
regulation of many important factors involved in cellular signal transduction. In this study, we …

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 …

Abscisic acid (ABA) is involved in regulating drought tolerance, and pyrabactin resistance-
like (PYL) proteins are known as ABA receptors. To elucidate the role of one of the ABA …

Drought stress is primarily responsible for heavy yield losses and productivity in major crops
and possesses the greatest threat to the global food security. While conventional and …

Plants are subjected to biotic and abiotic stresses regularly, which irreparably harm
agricultural production. Eco-friendly and sustainable technology to deal with this challenge …

The current genome editing system Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic
Repeats Cas9 (CRISPR/Cas9) has already confirmed its proficiency, adaptability, and …

Rice leaf morphology is an essential agronomic trait to develop drought-tolerant genotypes
for adequate and stable crop production in drought-prone areas. Here, rolled leaf mutant …

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 …

Drought episodes decrease plant growth and productivity, which in turn cause high
economic losses. Plants naturally sense and respond to water stress by activating specific …
