Maize ARGOS 8 is a negative regulator of ethylene responses. A previous study has shown
that transgenic plants constitutively overexpressing ARGOS 8 have reduced ethylene …

Lack of sufficient water is a major limiting factor to crop production worldwide, and the
development of drought-tolerant germplasm is needed to improve crop productivity. The …

Recent unpredictable climate change is the main reason for the decline in rice yield. In
particular, drought stress is a major constraint in reducing yield and quality for rice at rainfed …

Breeding of stress-tolerant plants is able to improve crop yield under stress conditions,
whereas CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing has been shown to be an efficient way for molecular …

Plants are vulnerable to many environmental constraints which include drought, salinity,
extreme temperatures, heavy metals, etc., thereby posing damage to the development and …

Backgorund Environmental stresses including abiotic stresses and biotic stresses limit yield
of plants. Stress-tolerant breeding is an efficient way to improve plant yield under stress …

Plants are subjected to biotic and abiotic stresses regularly, which irreparably harm
agricultural production. Eco-friendly and sustainable technology to deal with this challenge …

Genome editing using the CRISPR/Cas9 system can be used to modify plant genomes,
however, improvements in specificity and applicability are still needed in order for the editing …

Abiotic stresses such as drought, salinity, frost, etc., affect plant yield manyfold. These
stresses can decrease the plant yield of important major crops up to 50%. The abiotic stress …

Prolonged periods of drought triggered by climate change hamper plant growth and cause
substantial agricultural yield losses every year. In addition to drought, salinity is one of the …
