A Natural LTR Retrotransposon Insertion in the Promoter of GhNAC140‐Dt Boosts Cotton Lint Yield
Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Transposable elements (TEs) are fundamental drivers of crop evolution and domestication. Whereas the underlying mechanisms of TE‐mediated gene activation remain poorly understood. Lint percentage is an important yield component in cotton. Here, we report a retrotransposon insertion in the promoter of GhNAC140‐Dt, a secondary wall NAC encoding ...

Genetic basis of microbial carotenogenesis [PDF]
, 2010 The synthesis of carotenoids begins with the formation of a phytoene from geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate, a well conserved step in all carotenogenic organisms and catalyzed by a phytoene synthase, an enzyme encoded by the crtB(spy) genes.

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Pulses provide myriad health benefits and are advantageous in an environmental context as a result of their leguminous nature. However, phytopathogenic fungi, oomycetes and bacteria pose a substantial threat to pulse production, at times leading to crop failure.

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.Abstract Abscisic acid (ABA) is a key phytohormone in plant responses to water deficit. Although there is extensive evidence that roots can synthesise ABA, recent findings suggest that local synthesis in response to dehydration contributes little to the root ABA pool compared to shoot‐sourced ABA.

CRISPR/Cas Genome Editing and Its Applications in Cereal Crop Improvement
Plant-Environment Interactions, Volume 7, Issue 2, April 2026.ABSTRACT CRISPR/Cas‐based genome editing has emerged as a transformative tool for precise genetic improvement of cereal crops. Recent advances in CRISPR technologies, including Cas9, Cas12, Cas13, base editing, and prime editing, have enabled targeted modification of genes and regulatory elements controlling yield, stress tolerance, and grain ...

CRISPR/Cas9-mediated mutagenesis of CAROTENOID CLEAVAGE DIOXYGENASE 8 in tomato provides resistance against the parasitic weed Phelipanche aegyptiaca. [PDF]
, 2019 Broomrapes (Phelipanche aegyptiaca and Orobanche spp.) are obligate plant parasites that cause extreme damage to crop plants. The parasite seeds have strict requirements for germination, involving preconditioning and exposure to specific chemicals ...
