Genome editing holds great promise for the molecular breeding of plants, yet its application is hindered by the shortage of simple and effective means of delivering genome editing reagents into plants ...

Delivering genome editing machinery into plant cells remains a challenge despite the dire need for high yield crops with enhanced nutritional value that are resistant to disease and resilient in the ...

This study is led by Professor Junjie Tan (Nanjing Agricultural University, Nanjing, China). Genome editing, particularly using the CRISPR/Cas system, has revolutionized biological research and crop ...

However, traditional gene delivery methods, such as Agrobacterium-mediated transformation and gene guns, are often slow, inefficient, and can damage plant tissues. These highlight the need for more ...

Keith Slotkin, PhD, first became interested in transposable elements (TE), colloquially known as “jumping genes,” as an undergraduate student. “They just broke all the rules,” he said in an interview ...
