Plants can be engineered to recombinantly produce high-quality proteins such as
therapeutic proteins and vaccines, also known as molecular farming. Molecular farming can …

The narrow genetic base of tomato poses serious challenges in breeding. Hence, with the
advent of clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat (CRISPR)-associated …

Plant morphology and anatomy strongly influence agricultural yield. Crop domestication has
strived for desirable growth and developmental traits, such as larger and more fruits and …

Microalgae hold enormous potential to provide a safe and sustainable source of high-value
compounds, acting as carbon-fixing biofactories that could help to mitigate rapidly …

Among the New Plant Breeding Techniques (NPBTs), the CRISPR/Cas9 system represents
a useful tool for target gene editing, improving the traits of the plants rapidly. This technology …

Many of the world's most important crops are polyploid. The presence of more than two sets
of chromosomes within their nuclei and frequently aberrant reproductive biology in …

The construction of synthetic gene circuits in plants has been limited by a lack of orthogonal
and modular parts. Here, we implement a CRISPR (clustered regularly interspaced short …
