This emphasizes the need for a deeper understanding of the molecular mechanisms controlling plant reproduction. With the global population projected to reach 10 billion by 2050, improving the genetic ...

according to the team led by the institute's plant editing expert Caixia Gao. Through whole genome sequencing the team also confirmed that - unlike mutant plants made with the plasmid system ...

CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing exploits the CRISPR-Cas system to modify a genome in a targeted manner. Guided by RNA, the Cas9 endonuclease breaks DNA at a target sequence. Imprecise repair of the ...

Advances in understanding plant-pathogen interactions have revealed the intricate roles of resistance ... An integrated framework for improving disease resistance in tomatoes through multi-omics ...

This is by far the most common use of CRISPR. It’s called genome editing – or gene editing – but usually the results are not as precise as that term implies. CRISPR can also be used to make ...

BEIJING -- Chinese scientists have developed a gene-editing technique to reduce corn plant height ... the team developed a haploid inducer-mediated genome editing system, enabling the conversion ...

but the slabcg44 mutant produces smaller fruits. The research team systematically evaluated the potential of SlABCG45 genome editing in broomrape resistance, and showed that knocking out SlAGCG45 ...

Traditional plant stands seem to come in two styles: those mid-century-modern ones that stay low to the ground and fit just one big pot, and the more bookshelf-style bamboo units with a few ...

The CRISPR/Cas9 gene-editing system, based on a bacterial immune response against viruses, has been applied to human genome editing and was recently implemented in the first Food and Drug ...
