Engineering next‐generation crops through CRISPR‐mediated horizontal gene transfer
Summary Crops increasingly face overlapping stresses such as heat, drought, salinity, and pathogens that conventional breeding or genome editing rarely overcome in combination. To address this, we propose CRISPR‐enabled horizontal gene transfer (CRISPR‐HGT) as a programmable framework that recreates the evolutionary process by which plants historically

ABSTRACT Plant immune systems recognise pathogen‐derived molecular patterns to activate defence responses, yet the mechanisms underlying fungal pattern recognition in crops remain largely unclear. Here, we characterise the cysteine‐rich secretory protein SsSCP from the broad‐host‐range fungal pathogen Sclerotinia sclerotiorum as a potent elicitor of ...

ABSTRACT Tanshinones, the major bioactive diterpenes in Salvia miltiorrhiza Bunge, are widely used to treat cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. While jasmonates (JAs) are known to modulate tanshinones accumulation, the molecular link between JA signalling and tanshinone biosynthesis remains unclear.
