The discovery and application of genome editing introduced a new era of plant breeding by giving researchers efficient tools for the precise engineering of crop genomes. Here we demonstrate the power of genome editing for engineering broad-spectrum disease resistance in rice (Oryzasativa). We first ...

The discovery and application of genome editing introduced a new era of plant breeding by giving researchers efficient tools for the precise engineering of crop genomes. Here we demonstrate the power of genome editing for engineering broad-spectrum disease resistance in rice (). We first isolated a...
Genome editingThis brief article highlights the key findings of the study conducted by Sha et al. (Nature, doi:10.1038/s41586-023-06205-2, 2023), focusing on the cloning of theRBL1gene from rice, which is associated with lesion mimic mutant (LMM) traits. TheRBL1gene encodes a cytidine ...
One of the therapeutic approaches tried for OPA1-related mitochondrial diseases is genome editing using small ribonucleoprotein particle U1 (U1 snRNP), especially since 30% of OPA1 pathogenic variants are splice-site [99]. Jüschke et al. showed that engineered U1 splice factors targeted to intron...
Nitrogen is one of the most important mineral elements for plant growth. In rice, OsDof18 functions in ammonium uptake and nitrogen distribution by repressing ammonium transporter genes [9]. The overexpression of a pine Dof TF (PpDof5) in poplars was associated with higher growth and enhanced ...
However, most of them were characterized from herbaceous species such as A. thaliana, tobacco, and rice [6,8–11]. At present, 10 genes encoding CYCDs have been identified in A. thaliana, which are divided into seven sub-families (CYCD1–CYCD7). Specifically, there are three members in...
The WRKY TFs are encoded by a multigene family, with more than 70 and 100 members in Arabidopsis [9] and rice (Oryza sativa) [10], respectively. WRKY TFs are classified in different groups (I to III) on the basis of the number of WRKY domains and the features of the zinc-finger ...
