Exploring the role of grafting in abiotic stress management: Contemporary insights and automation trends

Plant Direct, Volume 8, Issue 12, December 2024.
Abstract Grafting is a technique that involves attaching a rootstock to the aerial part of another genotype or species (scion), leading to improved crop performance and sustainable growth. The ability to tolerate abiotic stresses depends on cell membrane stability, a reduction in electrolyte leakage, and the species of scion and rootstock chosen.

Stable clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats‐based genome editing in Harmonia axyridis

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 148, Issue 10, Page 1172-1179, December 2024.
Abstract Harmonia axyridis (Pallas), commonly known as the Asian lady beetle, is a native insect species of Asia that has been intentionally introduced to various regions for biocontrol purposes. However, its widespread presence beyond its original release sites suggests a high degree of invasiveness. In this study, we utilized the CRISPR‐Cas9 approach
