In most crop breeding programs, the rate of yield increment is insufficient to cope with the
increased food demand caused by a rapidly expanding global population. In plant breeding …

Genome Editing using engineered endonuclease (GEEN) systems rapidly took over the field
of plant science and plant breeding. So far, Genome Editing techniques have been applied …

The advent of clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat (CRISPR) has had a
profound impact on plant biology, and crop improvement. In this review, we summarize the …

Genome editing is a useful, adaptable, and favored technique for both functional genomics
and crop enhancement. Over the years, rapidly evolving genome editing technologies …

The accumulation of anthropogenic heavy metals in soil is a major form of pollution. Such
potentially toxic elements are nonbiodegradable and persist for many years as threats to …

The genomic revolution of the past decade has greatly improved our understanding of the
genetic make-up of living organisms. The sequencing of crop genomes has completely …

The major challenges that agriculture is facing in the twenty-first century are increasing
droughts, water scarcity, flooding, poorer soils, and extreme temperatures due to climate …

The CRISPR/Cas9 genome engineering system has ignited and swept through the scientific
community like wildfire. Owing largely to its efficiency, specificity, and flexibility, the …

Tomato has a relatively short growth cycle (fruit ready to pick within 65–85 days from
planting) and a relatively high yield (the average for globe tomatoes is 3–9 kg fruit per plant …

Induced mutagenesis is one of the most efficient tools that has been utilized extensively to
create genetic variation as well as for identification of key regulatory genes for economically …
