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

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 …

Genetic transformation is important for gene functional study and crop improvement.
However, it is less effective in wheat. Here we employed a multi-omic analysis strategy to …

Chromatin plays a crucial role in genome compaction and is fundamental for regulating
multiple nuclear processes. Nucleosomes, the basic building blocks of chromatin, are …

The development of perennial crops holds great promise for sustainable agriculture and
food security. However, the evolution of the transition between perenniality and annuality is …

Plants or tissues can be regenerated through various pathways. Like animal regeneration,
cell totipotency and pluripotency are the molecular basis of plant regeneration. Detailed …

De novo organ regeneration is the process in which adventitious roots or shoots regenerate
from detached or wounded organs. De novo organ regeneration can occur either in natural …

Abstract Banana (Musa spp.) fruits, as typical tropical fruits, are cold sensitive, and lower
temperatures can disrupt cellular compartmentalization and lead to severe browning. How …

The breeding of crops with improved nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) is crucial for sustainable
agriculture, but the involvement of epigenetic modifications remains unexplored. Here, we …

Allopolyploidization, resulting in divergent genomes in the same cell, is believed to trigger a
“genome shock”, leading to broad genetic and epigenetic changes. However, little is …
