Nano-enabled spray-induced RNA interference against fungal pathogens of oilseed crops: carrier performance, delivery evidence and field translation

GWAS-driven discovery and KASP validation of flowering time and seed weight loci in lentil (Lens culinaris Medik.).

Lentil agronomic traits such as flowering time and seed weight are vital for adaptation and yield improvement. While prior quantitative trait loci (QTL) mapping and genome wide association studies (GWAS) have identified genomic regions associated with these traits, trait-linked KASP markers for routine breeding remain...

Faster, Smarter, Precise: Integrating Speed Breeding and CRISPR-Based New Genomic Techniques into the Conventional Field Crop Breeding Pipeline

This review evaluates SB against the conventional pedigree framework; synthesises validated environmental parameters and crop-specific protocols; synthesises validated environmental parameters and crop-specific protocols; and examines principal SB applications in hybridisation, genomic selection, disease-resistance scr...
