One of the strategies to overcome diseases or abiotic stress in crops is the use of improved
varieties. Genetic improvement could be accomplished through different methods, including …

High-precision bioengineering and synthetic biology require fine-tuning gene expression at
both transcriptional and posttranscriptional levels. Gene transcription is tightly regulated by …

Following recent developments and refinement, CRISPR-Cas9 gene-editing technology has
become increasingly mature and is being widely used for crop improvement. The application …

Abstract RNA polymerase III (Pol III) transcribes short, essential RNAs, including the U6
small nuclear RNA (snRNA). At U6 snRNA genes, Pol III is recruited by the snRNA Activating …

Cold stress harms rice seedlings, causing yield reduction. Enhancing cold tolerance at the
seedling stage is crucial for rice breeding. OsFH10, OsFER1, ONAC045, and OsProT were …

The clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)/CRISPR-
associated nuclease (Cas) system allows precise and easy editing of genes in many plant …

Plant genome editing, a recently discovered method for targeted mutagenesis, has emerged
as a promising tool for crop improvement and gene function research. Many genome-edited …

Simple Summary Pests and diseases, along with environmental factors, significantly
contribute to yield losses in crop production. Considering the detrimental impact of …

The efficient genome editing tool (the CRISPR/Cas12a system) has been used in research
on plant functionional genomics and improvement of agronomic traits. In this study …

Abstracts Millets, the sixth most-grown group of crops in the drylands, support the livelihood
of many small-holder farmers in the region. Being one of the most nutritious groups of crops …
