Greater Resistance to Drought‐Induced Embolism Is Linked to Higher Yield Maintenance in Soybean

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT With increasing drought events worldwide, crop breeding must focus on drought resistance to maintain crop yields. To ensure a high level of gas exchange and growth, plants need to maintain the integrity of their vascular system under drought conditions. While the impact of drought‐induced vascular damage on tree species is well‐documented, its

Optimization of CRISPR/Cas9‐mediated CtPDS knockout in guar protoplasts

The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 1, March 2026.
Abstract Guar (Cyamopsis tetragonoloba L. Taub.) is a climate‐resilient legume with industrial and agricultural applications. Recently, gene editing has emerged as a key genetic tool for crop improvement. Despite its recent increasing value as a commodity for various uses, there is no documented report of gene editing work in guar to date.
