The advent of clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat (CRISPR) genome
editing, coupled with advances in computing and imaging capabilities, has initiated a new …

Feeding the ever-growing population is a major challenge, especially in light of rapidly
changing climate conditions. Genome editing is set to revolutionize plant breeding and …

Crop genetic improvement requires balancing complex tradeoffs caused by gene pleiotropy
and linkage drags, as exemplified by IPA1 (Ideal Plant Architecture 1), a typical pleiotropic …

The development of CRISPR–Cas systems has sparked a genome editing revolution in
plant genetics and breeding. These sequence-specific RNA-guided nucleases can induce …

The first paradigm of plant breeding involves direct selection-based phenotypic observation,
followed by predictive breeding using statistical models for quantitative traits constructed …

Pan-genomes from large natural populations can capture genetic diversity and reveal
genomic complexity. Using de novo long-read assembly, we generated a graph-based …

Crop wild relatives (CWRs) have provided breeders with several'game-changing'traits or
genes that have boosted crop resilience and global agricultural production. Advances in …

Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is one of the most important crops in the world. Since the completion of
rice reference genome sequences, tremendous progress has been achieved in …

Crop production systems need to expand their outputs sustainably to feed a burgeoning
human population. Advances in genome sequencing technologies combined with efficient …

As a major event in human civilization, wild plants were successfully domesticated to be
crops, largely owing to continuing artificial selection. Here, we summarize new discoveries …
