Crop breeders have been tackling these characteristics ... are working to upgrade the CRISPR-Cas9 editing system to better edit plant varieties. Target crops include cereal grains, a demand ...

A research team investigates how genome editing can be harnessed to accelerate cassava breeding and improve key traits.

Currently, these technologies are subject to the EU’s strict GMO regulation, making their commercialisation in the bloc ...

The application of CRISPR-Cas9 technology in this context offers ... breeding and contribute to the improvement of this vital crop. These advancements could lead to increased cassava yields ...

CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing exploits the CRISPR-Cas system to modify a genome in a targeted manner. Guided by RNA, the Cas9 endonuclease breaks DNA at a target sequence. Imprecise repair of the ...

The plant’s sprawling growth and habit of dropping its small orange fruits on the ground before they’re ripe make it an awkward crop to cultivate, and its commercial presence is ... the researchers ...

This, coupled with CRISPR/Cas9 technology, has made editing crop genomes for enhanced disease resistance a reality. 9 Furthermore, merging multiomics data with artificial intelligence ...

At the heart of this technology is the Cas9 protein, often likened to molecular scissors, capable of cutting strands of DNA at specific locations dictated by a single guide RNA. With this ...
