The prokaryote-derived CRISPR–Cas genome editing technology has altered plant
molecular biology beyond all expectations. Characterized by robustness and high target …

To meet increasing global food demand, breeders and scientists aim to improve the yield
and quality of major food crops. Plant diseases threaten food security and are expected to …

Clustered regularly interspersed short pallindromic repeats (CRISPR) and CRISPR
associated proteins (Cas) system (CRISPR-Cas) came into light as prokaryotic defence …

Climate change imposes a severe threat to agricultural systems, food security, and human
nutrition. Meanwhile, efforts in crop and livestock gene editing have been undertaken to …

Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is a staple food crop, feeding more than 50% of the world's population.
Diseases caused by bacterial, fungal, and viral pathogens constantly threaten the rice …

Genome editing technology has rapidly evolved to knock-out genes, create targeted genetic
variation, install precise insertion/deletion and single nucleotide changes, and perform large …

The mitogen‐activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway is an important signalling event
associated with every aspect of plant growth, development, yield, abiotic and biotic stress …

Wheat crops are frequently devastated by pandemic stripe rust caused by Puccinia
striiformis f. sp. tritici (Pst). Here, we identify and characterize a wheat receptor-like …

During the last years, a great effort has been dedicated at the development and employment
of diverse approaches for achieving more stress‐tolerant and climate‐flexible crops and …

Rice blast and bacterial blight represent two of major diseases having devastating impact on
the yield of rice in most rice‐growing countries. Developments of resistant cultivars are the …
