The CRISPR/Cas9 system has been extensively applied for crop improvement. However,
our understanding of Cas9 specificity is very limited in Cas9‐edited plants. To identify on …

The base‐editing technique using CRISPR/nC as9 (Cas9 nickase) or dC as9 (deactivated
Cas9) fused with cytidine deaminase is a powerful tool to create point mutations. In this …

Plant regeneration via somatic embryogenesis is time‐consuming and highly genotype‐
dependent. The plant somatic embryogenesis process provokes many epigenetics changes …

Plants are constantly challenged by insect pests that can dramatically decrease yields.
Insects with piercing-sucking mouthparts, for example, aphids, whiteflies, and leaf hoppers …

Adverse stress influences the normal growth and development of plants. With the
development of molecular biology technology, understanding the molecular mechanism of …

Cotton is an important fiber crop cultivated around the world under diverse climate
