Plant genetic transformation: achievements, current status and future prospects
Summary Regeneration represents a fundamental biological process wherein an organism's tissues or organs repair and replace themselves following damage or environmental stress. In plant systems, injured tree branches can regenerate adventitious buds and develop new crowns through propagation techniques like cuttings and canopy pruning, while transgenic

Efficient clonal seeds sorting for apomictic hybrid rice using a pollen‐specific gene switch system
Summary Significant progress in apomictic hybrid rice development faces challenges like achieving high induction rates and seed‐setting efficiencies, and distinguishing clonal from zygotic embryos. To address the challenge of selecting clonal seeds, we developed a dual‐fluorescence labelling gene switch system using the recombinase Cre/LoxP + FRT ...

MsbZIP55 regulates salinity tolerance by modulating melatonin biosynthesis in alfalfa
Summary Soil salinity is a severe abiotic stress that damages plant growth and development. As an antioxidant and free radical scavenger, melatonin is well known for helping plants survive abiotic conditions, including salinity stress. Here, we report that the salt‐related gene MsSNAT1, encoding a rate‐limiting melatonin biosynthesis enzyme, is located

Engineering Rubisco condensation in chloroplasts to manipulate plant photosynthesis
Summary Although Rubisco is the most abundant enzyme globally, it is inefficient for carbon fixation because of its low turnover rate and limited ability to distinguish CO2 and O2, especially under high O2 conditions. To address these limitations, phytoplankton, including cyanobacteria and algae, have evolved CO2‐concentrating mechanisms (CCM) that ...
