ABSTRACT Brassica napus is the second most important oil crop worldwide. Number of primary branches (Branch number, BN) and silique number on the main inflorescence (SMI) are key yield‐related quantitative traits. Here, we cloned a major QTL, qDB.A09, which simultaneously influences BN and SMI.

ABSTRACT Head rice yield (HRY) is a crucial quality trait that determines the final commodity yield and commercial value of rice. Conversely, chalkiness represents an undesirable appearance characteristic, significantly impairing rice marketability. Thus, developing rice germplasms with superior HRY and appearance traits is highly desirable for rice ...

ABSTRACT Abiotic stresses severely constrain soybean productivity worldwide. Here we demonstrate that gmeif2b5 (eukaryotic initiation factors) mutants confer dual stress tolerance through coordinated mechanisms. Integrative RNA‐Seq and protein interaction analyses revealed that gmeif2b5 mutants increase lignin deposition to increase drought resilience ...

ABSTRACT Autophagy and the ubiquitin/26S proteasome system (UPS) play critical roles in the immune defence of the host against pathogen invasion. As a countermeasure, pathogens deploy effector proteins to subvert or hijack autophagy and UPS processes.

Cas9‐Embedding Hyperactive TadA8e Confers Efficient and Highly Specific A‐To‐G Base Editing in Rice
ABSTRACT Adenine base editors (ABEs) produce precise A‐to‐G conversion in the genomic target sites without causing double‐strand breaks. However, the hyperactive adenosine deaminase TadA8e raises safety concerns on genome‐wide off‐target edits. We engineered 11 chimeric proteins for ABEs (CP‐ABEs) by embedding hyperactive TadA8e within Cas9 nickase to ...
