Cacao Rootstock Selection Resistant to Ceratocystis cacaofunesta at the INIAP Germplasm Collection, Ecuador

Plant Pathology, Volume 75, Issue 5, September‐October 2026.
The genetic improvement programme, aimed at identifying cocoa rootstocks resistant to Ceratocystis cacaofunesta, has enabled the selection of a series of genotypes with high levels of resistance within the INIAP germplasm bank. The use of improved and certified material in the clonal propagation of plants guarantees the productive life of our cocoa ...

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 ...

Progress and Challenges in Faba Bean Genetic Engineering

Legume Science, Volume 8, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Legumes are essential for global food security, serving as a vital source of plant‐based protein and playing a significant role in sustainable agricultural practices. Among legumes, faba bean (Vicia faba L.) is noteworthy due to its high‐protein content, broad climate adaptation, and suitability for cultivation in temperate regions.

Genome Editing in Root and Tuber Crop Development in Sub‐Saharan Africa

Plant-Environment Interactions, Volume 7, Issue 3, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Precision genome editing, particularly using Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats (CRISPR)/CRISPR‐associated protein 9 (Cas9), is advancing crop improvement by enabling targeted and efficient genetic modifications. Root and tuber crops such as potato, cassava, sweet potato, and yam are vital for global food and nutritional
