CRISPR/Cas, one of the most rapidly develo** technologies in the world, has been
applied successfully in plant science. To test new nucleases, gRNA expression systems and …

Transposable elements (TEs) are a dominant feature of most flowering plant genomes.
Together with other accepted facilitators of evolution, accumulating data indicate that TEs …

Yellow seed is a desirable trait with great potential for improving seed quality in Brassica
crops. Unfortunately, no natural or induced yellow seed germplasms have been found in …

Yellow‐seed is widely accepted as a good‐quality trait in Brassica crops. Previous studies
have shown that the flavonoid biosynthesis pathway is essential for the development of seed …

Yellow-seed trait is a desirable breeding characteristic of rapeseed (Brassica napus) that
could greatly improve seed oil yield and quality. However, the underlying mechanisms …

The MYB‐basic helix–loop–helix (bHLH)‐WD 40 complexes regulating anthocyanin and
proanthocyanidin (PA) biosynthesis in plants are not fully understood. Here Medicago …

Protein crops have gained increasing interest in recent years, as a transition towards plant-
protein based diets appears pivotal to ensure global food security and preserve the …

Flavonoids represent a wide group of plant secondary metabolites implicated in many
physiological roles, from the attraction of pollinators to the protection against biotic or abiotic …

Onion bulb color is a key breeding trait. The red bulb color is caused by the presence of
anthocyanins, which are products of the flavonoid synthesis pathway. Research on flavonoid …

The past decades have revealed an unexpected yet prominent role of so-called 'junk DNA'in
the regulation of gene expression, thereby challenging our view of the mechanisms …
