Genome-editing technologies have advanced in recent years but designing future crops
remains limited by current methods of improving somatic embryogenesis (SE) capacity. In …

Transcription factors (TFs) are diverse groups of regulatory proteins. Through their specific
binding domains, TFs bind to their target genes and regulate their expression, therefore TFs …

The WRKY gene family in plants regulates the plant's response to drought through
regulatory networks and hormone signaling. AfWRKY20 (MT859405) was cloned from …
