The discovery of the CRISPR/Cas genome-editing system has revolutionized our
understanding of the plant genome. CRISPR/Cas has been used for over a decade to …

Cereal crops, including triticeae species (barley, wheat, rye), as well as edible cereals
(wheat, corn, rice, oat, rye, sorghum), are significant suppliers for human consumption …

Plant genomes are characterized by large and complex gene families that often result in
similar and partially overlapping functions. This genetic redundancy severely hampers …

The clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)/CRISPR-
associated protein 9 (Cas9) system has become the most important tool for targeted genome …

The high economic value of wood requires intensive breeding towards multipurpose
biomass. However, long breeding cycles hamper the fast development of novel tree varieties …

Climate change poses daunting challenges to agricultural production and food security.
Rising temperatures, shifting weather patterns, and more frequent extreme events have …

The clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)/associated protein
9 system (Cas9) has been used at length to optimize multiple aspects of germplasm …

Genetically diverse populations can increase plant resistance to natural enemies. Yet,
beneficial genotype pairs remain elusive due to the occurrence of positive or negative …

In many regions of the world, climate change is leading to increased exposure to abiotic
stresses for plants as well as humans and other animals. The most obvious effects are …

A major advantage of using CRISPR/Cas9 for gene editing is multiplexing, that is, the
simultaneous targeting of many genes. However, primary transformants typically contain …
