Feeding the ever-growing population is a major challenge, especially in light of rapidly
changing climate conditions. Genome editing is set to revolutionize plant breeding and …

Agriculture is experiencing a technological inflection point in its history, while also facing
unprecedented challenges posed by human population growth and global climate changes …

Of the more than 370 000 species of higher plants in nature, fewer than 0.1% can be
genetically modified due to limitations of the current gene delivery systems. Even for those …

Transformation in grass species has traditionally relied on immature embryos and has
therefore been limited to a few major Poaceae crops. Other transformation explants …

The potential of genome editing to improve the agronomic performance of crops is often
limited by low plant regeneration efficiencies and few transformable genotypes. Here, we …

The discovery of the CRISPR/Cas genome-editing system has revolutionized our
understanding of the plant genome. CRISPR/Cas has been used for over a decade to …

Genome editing provides novel strategies for improving plant traits but mostly relies on
conventional plant genetic transformation and regeneration procedures, which can be …

Hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) is an annual and typically dioecious crop. Due to the therapeutic
potential for human diseases, phytocannabinoids as a medical therapy is getting more …

Agrobacterium-mediated plant transformation (AMT) is the basis of modern-day plant
biotechnology. One major drawback of this technology is the recalcitrance of many plant …

Recent advances in the genome-editing tools have demonstrated a great potential for
accelerating functional genomics and crop trait improvements, but the low efficiency and …
