Field Trials and Baking Studies of Ultra‐Low Asparagine, Genome Edited (CRISPR/Cas9) and Mutant (TILLING) Wheat

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Field trials were conducted of wheat (Triticum aestivum) cv. Cadenza in which asparagine synthetase gene, TaASN2, had been knocked out, either on its own or together with a partial knockout of the related gene, TaASN1, using CRISPR/Cas9. Chemical mutagenesis (TILLING) TaASN2 nulls in the Claire background were also included.

A Novel AP2/ERF Transcription Factor Controls Trichome Initiation and Fruit Development in Cucumber

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Trichomes, the hair‐like outgrowths of the plant epidermis, are critical for defence, reproduction and development. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms governing their initiation remain elusive. Here, we identified CsGL2, an AP2/ERF transcription factor, as a key integrator controlling trichome initiation and fruit development in ...

Designed Alleles of ZmRap2.7 Decouple the Trade‐Off Between Early Flowering and Yield Penalty

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Flowering time genes often exhibit pleiotropic effects. In particular, early flowering is frequently associated with reduced grain yield due to a shorter growth period. This trade‐off poses a major challenge for developing early‐maturing and high‐yielding varieties, a key breeding objective in modern maize production. Here, we demonstrate that

Cell‐Specific Expression and Cellular Compartmental Regulation in Camptothecin Biosynthesis

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Plant secondary metabolites such as monoterpenoid indole alkaloids (MIAs) show tightly regulated biosynthesis and accumulation in specific organelles of distinct cell types. However, the cell‐specific expression patterns of anticancer MIA camptothecin biosynthetic genes in Ophiorrhiza pumila and the regulatory mechanisms of camptothecin ...

A Repertoire of Major Genes From Crop Wild Relatives for Breeding Disease‐Resistant Wheat, Rice, Maize, Soybean and Cotton Crops

open access: yesPlant Breeding, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Global food demand is predicted to rise anywhere from 59% to 98% by 2050 because of increasing population. However, the continued depletion of natural resources and increasing biotic and abiotic stresses will continue to pose significant threats to global food security in coming years.
