Salinity is one of the significant abiotic stresses that negatively affect plant production
processes, growth, and development, which ultimately reduce yield. Plants adapt specific …

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 …

Alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) is the most widely grown perennial leguminous forage and is an
essential component of the livestock industry. Previously, the RNAi-mediated down …

In vitro plant regeneration is a pivotal process in genetic engineering to obtain large
numbers of transgenic, cisgenic and gene edited plants in the frame of functional gene or …

Key message Using phenotypic data of four biparental spring wheat populations evaluated
at multiple environments under two management systems, we discovered 152 QTL and 22 …

Mutations are changes in the genetic material that may be transmitted to subsequent
generations. Mutations appear spontaneously in nature and are one of the underlying …

Conventional selective breeding in aquaculture has been effective in genetically enhancing
economic traits like growth and disease resistance. However, its advances are restricted by …

Phytopathology is a highly complex scientific discipline. Initially, its focus was on the study of
plant–pathogen interactions in agricultural and forestry production systems. Host–pathogen …

In a cross between two homozygous Brassica napus plants of synthetic and natural origin,
we demonstrate that novel structural genome variants from the synthetic parent cause …

Rising emissions of anthropogenic greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide (CO2),
nitrous oxide (N2O) and methane (CH4) are a key driver of climate change, which is …
