Genome editing promises giant leaps forward in advancing biotechnology, agriculture, and
basic research. The process relies on the use of sequence specific nucleases (SSNs) to …

In plants, the root is a typical sink organ that relies exclusively on the import of sugar from the
aerial parts. Sucrose is delivered by the phloem to the most distant root tips and, en route to …

Genome editing tools have rapidly been adopted by plant scientists for gene function
discovery and crop improvement. The current technical challenge is to efficiently induce …

Genome editing has recently become a method of choice for basic research and functional
genomics, and holds great potential for molecular plant-breeding applications. The powerful …

It has been increasingly recognized that CWIN (cell wall invertase) and sugar transporters
including STP (sugar transport protein) and SWEET (sugar will eventually be exported …

Cytokinins are plant hormones known for their role in mediating plant growth. First
discovered for their ability to promote cell division, this class of hormones is now associated …

The concept of “Sweet Immunity” postulates that sugar metabolism and signaling influence
plant immune networks. In this study, we tested the potential of commercially available inulin …

The production of influenza vaccines in plants is achieved through transient expression of
viral hemagglutinins (HAs), a process mediated by the bacterial vector Agrobacterium …

Sucrose (Suc) is directly associated with plant growth and development as well as tolerance
to various stresses. Invertase (INV) enzymes played important role in sucrose metabolism by …

The host susceptibility factors are important targets to develop genetic resistances in crops.
Genome editing tools offer exciting prospects to develop resistances based on these …
