According to Darwin's theory, endless evolution leads to a revolution. One such example is
the Clustered Regularly Interspaced Palindromic Repeats (CRISPR)–Cas system, an …

The availability of genome sequences for several crops and advances in genome editing
approaches has opened up possibilities to breed for almost any given desirable trait …

A technique for chromosomal insertion of large DNA segments is much needed in plant
breeding and synthetic biology to facilitate the introduction of desired agronomic traits and …

Paclitaxel is a well known anticancer compound. Its biosynthesis involves the formation of a
highly functionalized diterpenoid core skeleton (baccatin III) and the subsequent assembly …

Na+ exclusion from above-ground tissues via the Na+-selective transporter HKT1; 5 is a
major salt-tolerance mechanism in crops. Using the expression genome-wide association …

CRISPR-Cas systems are host-encoded pathways that protect microbes from viral infection
using an adaptive RNA-guided mechanism. Using genome-resolved metagenomics, we find …

Targeted insertion of transgenes at pre-determined plant genomic safe harbors provides a
desirable alternative to insertions at random sites achieved through conventional methods …

Crop improvement by inbreeding often results in fitness penalties and loss of genetic
diversity. We introduced desirable traits into four stress-tolerant wild-tomato accessions by …

Plants in nature are constantly exposed to a variety of abiotic and biotic stresses which limits
their growth and production. Enhancing crop yield and production to feed exponentially …

Nucleotide base editors in plants have been limited to conversion of cytosine to thymine.
Here, we describe a new plant adenine base editor based on an evolved tRNA adenosine …
