The clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat (CRISPR)-associated protein9
(Cas9) genome editing system (CRISPR/Cas9) is adapted from the prokaryotic type II …

Main conclusion There is a need to integrate conceptual framework based on the current
understanding of salt stress responses with different approaches for manipulating and …

Targeted DNA double-strand breaks have been shown to significantly increase the
frequency and precision of genome editing. In the past two decades, several double-strand …

Grapevine (Vitis vinifera), one of the most economically important fruit crops in the world,
suffers significant yield losses from powdery mildew, a major fungal disease caused by …

Targeted mutagenesis, editing of endogenous maize (Zea mays) genes, and site-specific
insertion of a trait gene using clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats …

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 …

CRISPR/Cas9 systems are nowadays applied extensively to effect genome editing in
various organisms including plants. CRISPR from Prevotella and Francisella 1 (Cpf1) is a …

Main conclusion Plant osmoprotectants protect against abiotic stresses. Introgression of
osmoprotectant genes into crop plants via genetic engineering is an important strategy in …

Salinity is an important abiotic environmental stress factor threatening agricultural
productivity throughout the world. The detrimental effects of salinity stress are observed at …

The Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats associated Cas9/sgRNA
system is a novel targeted genome-editing technique derived from bacterial immune system …
