Artificial domestication and improvement of the majority of crops began approximately
10,000 years ago, in different parts of the world, to achieve high productivity, good quality …

Plant breeding relies on the presence of genetic variation, which is generated by a random
process of mutagenesis that acts on existing gene pools. This variation is then recombined …

The sustainable growth of agriculture requires continuous efforts towards developing new
plant varieties that can yield more with lesser inputs, specifically, water, fertilizers, and …

Abstract Key Message We summarize recent genome editing studies that have focused on
the examination (or reexamination) of plant architectural phenotypes in cereals and the …

Genome editing has emerged as a powerful tool for accelerating crop improvement in
horticultural crops by enabling precise modifications to their genetic makeup. This review …

The advent of genome editing has opened new avenues for targeted trait enhancement in
fruit, ornamental, industrial, and all specialty crops. In particular, CRISPR-based editing …

Genome or gene editing includes several new techniques to help scientists precisely modify
genome sequences. The techniques also enables us to alter the regulation of gene …

The global climate change and unfavourable abiotic and biotic factors are limiting
agricultural productivity and therefore intensifying the challenges for crop scientists to meet …

Conventional plant breeding can accelerate crop improvement by crossing superior plants
with other compatible plants, or randomly induced variants generated by chemical-or …

The germplasm resource repository harbors an extensive collection of genetic variations,
providing a crucial foundation for the survival and sustainable development of humankind …
