Global climate variations induce extreme temperatures and significantly decrease crop
production, leading to food insecurity worldwide. Temperature extremes (mainly cold stress …

Main conclusion While transgenic technology has heralded a new era in crop improvement,
several concerns have precluded their widespread acceptance. Alternative technologies …

Abiotic stresses are the primary sources of crop losses globally. The identification of key
mechanisms deployed and established by plants in response to abiotic stresses is …

CRISPR construct design is a key step in the practice of genome editing, which includes
identification of appropriate Cas proteins, design and selection of guide RNAs (gRNAs), and …

Climate change is a threat to global food security due to the reduction of crop productivity
around the globe. Food security is a matter of concern for stakeholders and policymakers as …

Among different abiotic stresses, drought stress is the leading cause of impaired plant
growth and low productivity worldwide. It is therefore essential to understand the process of …

The central dogma (CD) of molecular biology is the transfer of genetic information from DNA
to RNA to protein. Major CD processes governing genetic flow include the cell cycle, DNA …

Plants demonstrate a broad range of responses to environmental shifts. One of the most
remarkable responses is plasticity, which is the ability of a single plant genotype to produce …

Methylation of cytosine is a conserved epigenetic modification that maintains the dynamic
balance of methylation in plants under the regulation of methyltransferases and …
