Cereal crops, including triticeae species (barley, wheat, rye), as well as edible cereals
(wheat, corn, rice, oat, rye, sorghum), are significant suppliers for human consumption …

Genome-editing technologies offer unprecedented opportunities for crop improvement with
superior precision and speed. This review presents an analysis of the current state of …

Widespread enthusiasm about potential contributions of genome-edited crops to address
climate change, food security, nutrition and health, environmental sustainability and …

We created waxy corn hybrids by CRISPR–Cas9 editing of a waxy allele in 12 elite inbred
maize lines, a process that was more than a year faster than conventional trait introgression …

Class 2 CRISPR systems are exceptionally diverse, nevertheless, all share a single effector
protein that contains a conserved RuvC-like nuclease domain. Interestingly, the size of these …

Bacterial Cas9 nucleases from type II CRISPR-Cas antiviral defence systems have been
repurposed as genome editing tools. Although these proteins are found in many microbes …

CRISPR-Cas-based genome editing allows for precise and targeted genetic modification of
plants. Nevertheless, unintended off-target edits can arise that might confer risks when …

Site-directed nucleases (SDNs) used for targeted genome editing are powerful new tools to
introduce precise genetic changes into plants. Like traditional approaches, such as …

Genome-or gene-editing (abbreviated here as 'GEd') presents great opportunities for crop
improvement. This is especially so for the countries in the Asia-Pacific region, which is home …

The CRISPR/Cas9 system is a powerful tool for targeted gene editing in many organisms
including plants. However, most of the reported uses of CRISPR/Cas9 in plants have …
