Enhanced agricultural production through innovative breeding technology is urgently
needed to increase access to nutritious foods worldwide. Recent advances in CRISPR/Cas …

According to Darwin's theory, endless evolution leads to a revolution. One such example is
the Clustered Regularly Interspaced Palindromic Repeats (CRISPR)–Cas system, an …

Plant gene editing is typically performed by delivering reagents such as Cas9 and single
guide RNAs to explants in culture. Edited cells are then induced to differentiate into whole …

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 …

The availability of genome sequences for several crops and advances in genome editing
approaches has opened up possibilities to breed for almost any given desirable trait …

An in planta gene editing approach was developed wherein Cas9 transgenic plants are
infected with an RNA virus that expresses single guide RNAs (sgRNAs). The sgRNAs are …

Plant diseases are responsible for substantial crop losses each year and pose a threat to
global food security and agricultural sustainability. Improving crop resistance to pathogens …

Genome editing in plants has been boosted tremendously by the development of
CRISPR/Cas9 (Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats) technology …

Presence of the integrated endogenous banana streak virus (eBSV) in the B genome of
plantain (AAB) is a major challenge for breeding and dissemination of hybrids. As the eBSV …

The emergence of sequence-specific nucleases that enable genome editing is
revolutionizing basic and applied biology. Since the introduction of CRISPR–Cas9, genome …
