Application of Gene Editing Technology in Resistance Breeding of Livestock. [PDF]
As a new genetic engineering technology, gene editing can precisely modify the specific gene sequence of the organism’s genome. In the last 10 years, with the rapid development of gene editing technology, zinc-finger nucleases (ZFNs), transcription ...

The Ficus erecta genome aids Ceratocystis canker resistance breeding in common fig (F. carica). [PDF]
Summary Ficus erecta, a wild relative of the common fig (F. carica), is a donor of Ceratocystis canker resistance in fig breeding programmes. Interspecific hybridization followed by recurrent backcrossing is an effective method to transfer the resistance
