Researchers from the University of California, Davis (UC Davis) and the Innovative Genomics Institute (IGI) have developed a "pint-sized" gene editor that overcomes the size limitations of traditional CRISPR-Cas9. This engineered enzyme, derived from "jumping genes," allows for highly efficient and heritable plant gene editing via a simple viral de...

Researchers from Heilongjiang Academy of Agricultural Sciences and Chinese Academy of Sciences have discovered that the GmAP1 gene in soybean plays a key role in delaying flowering and increasing sensitivity to salt stress. The study shows that editing this gene could help develop soybean varieties that mature earlier and tolerate challenging salin...

Scientists at the University of Missouri have identified a key protein, SRFR1, that controls root length in plants, using artificial intelligence (AI) and genetic modification to uncover and enhance its function. The findings of the study, published in The Plant Cell, could help develop crop varieties that are better suited to drought conditions.Th...

Experts from Brazil have identified ScTpx2 as a key gene that plays an essential role in helping sugarcane tolerate drought conditions. The findings of the study, published in GM Crops and Food, suggest that enhancing ScTpx2 expression can reduce the impact of drought in sugarcane and could support the development of more resilient commercial varie...

Researchers from Nanjing Agricultural University and Xinjiang Agricultural University in China have identified a key genetic mechanism that helps wild soybean (Glycine soja) plants tolerate high salinity conditions. The study focused on how the transcription factor GsWRKY23 regulates a downstream gene, GsPER3, to strengthen the plant's defense agai...
