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 ...

ABSTRACT Agricultural sustainability faces serious challenges from population growth, climate change and ecological degradation. Genetic modification (GM) technology can be regarded as a precise extension of the Green Revolution, aiming to balance yield enhancement with ecological integrity through biotechnology. To systematically examine global trend,

Herbicide toxicity to Nitrospirillum amazonense: assessing bacterial survival and microbial functionality. [PDF]
Herbicides elicit a spectrum of responses in Nitrospirillum amazonense, ranging from the stimulation of metabolic functions (biological nitrogen fixation, IAA production) to significant growth inhibition and acute toxicity. Abstract BACKGROUND Herbicides can exert significant toxicity on nontarget organisms, including plant growth‐promoting bacteria ...

ABSTRACT Sheath blight disease of rice caused by the fungal pathogen R. solani AG1‐IA remains a big threat to rice production worldwide. A limited genetic variation in rice for tolerance to this pathogen and little success in understanding how it defeats host defence are major reasons behind it.

Ground cover species tolerance to herbicide applications
Linuron applications at 1 lb per acre severely injured only one of the nine ground cover species tested in this study (C. edule). Amino triazole at 1 lb per acre was applied to all species, except Ajuga repens or Delasperma alba, without severe injury ...
