CRISPR-Cas9 has revolutionized plant genome editing, yet its application in tomato remains limited due to the plant's recalcitrance to transformation and regeneration. Traditional methods rely on ...

In a study published in Nature Communications titled “Construction of multi-targeted CRISPR libraries in tomato to overcome functional redundancy at genome-scale level,” researchers from Tel Aviv ...

If you like your tomatoes sweet, the smaller cherry tomato varieties are currently the ones to go for. But bigger tomato varieties could soon get a sweetness boost with the help of CRISPR gene editing ...

Gene editing in plants remains challenging, with the traditional non-homologous end-joining (cNHEJ) repair pathway often hindering precision. In this study, researchers advanced CRISPR-Cas-based gene ...

Overview of the tobacco rattle virus-mediated genome editing system in tobacco plants. A 20-nucleotide target sequence is cloned before the sgRNA scaffold under the PEBV promoter in the pTRV2-PEBV ...

Gene-editing techniques such as CRISPR-Cas9 have many uses in the area of food and agriculture. They can combat persistent drought and disease, and improve the colour and nutritional content of food ...
