The phenomenon of RNA interference (RNAi) which involves sequence-specific gene
regulation by small non-coding RNAs, ie, small interfering RNA (siRNA) and microRNA …

The phenomenon of RNA interference (RNAi) is involved in sequence-specific gene
regulation driven by the introduction of dsRNA resulting in inhibition of translation or …

Understanding the fundamental nature of a molecular process or a biological pathway is
often a catalyst for the development of new technologies in biology. Indeed, studies from late …

Key message New advances in crop genetic engineering can significantly pace up the
development of genetically improved varieties with enhanced yield, nutrition and tolerance …

Food security is one of the most important issues challenging the world today. Any strategies
to solve this problem must include increasing crop yields and quality. MicroRNA-based …

RNA interference (RNAi) is a post-translational regulatory mechanism that controls gene
expression in plants. This process can be artificially induced by double-stranded RNA …

Fruits are one of the major sources of vitamins, essential nutrients, antioxidants and fibers in
human diet. During the last two–three decades, genetic engineering methods based on the …

Carotenoids occur in all photosynthetic organisms where they protect photosystems from
auto-oxidation, participate in photosynthetic energy transfer and are secondary metabolites …

Many plant processes depend on differential gene expression, which is generally controlled
by complex proteins called transcription factors (TFs). In peach, 1533 TFs have been …
