Generation of a recipient line for Rubisco engineering by multiplex genome editing in tobacco

The Plant Journal, Volume 126, Issue 4, May 2026.
SUMMARY Rubisco (ribulose 1,5‐bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase) is the primary CO2‐fixing enzyme on our planet. Its slow kinetics and poor discrimination between carbon dioxide and oxygen as substrates severely limit the efficiency of photosynthetic carbon fixation by plants.

Strain, procedures, and tools for reproducible genetic transformation and genome editing of the emerging plant model Spirodela polyrhiza

New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 2, Page 735-756, April 2026.
Summary Duckweeds (Lemnaceae) have excellent potential for fundamental and applied research due to ease of cultivation, small size, and continuous fast clonal growth. However, their usage as model organisms and platforms for biotechnological applications is often limited by the lack of universal genetic manipulation methods necessary for transgene ...

Transposable elements: Functional aspects and applications as drivers of crop innovation

Crop Science, Volume 66, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
Abstract Transposable elements (TEs), which were once relegated to the status of genomic parasites, are today accepted as important agents of plant genome evolution and adaptation. This review integrates evidence pointing to their dual function as drivers of genetic diversity and instability, with a focus on their contribution to phenotypic innovation,

Predictable and stable epimutations induced during clonal plant propagation with embryonic transcription factor.

PLoS Genetics, 2022
Clonal propagation is frequently used in commercial plant breeding and biotechnology programs because it minimizes genetic variation, yet it is not uncommon to observe clonal plants with stable phenotypic changes, a phenomenon known as somaclonal ...
