Engineering endosperm storage compartments enables simultaneous enrichment of multiple vitamins in rice.

Development of low-prolamin rice germplasm via CRISPR/Cas9 editing to improve eating and cooking quality.

This targeted modification markedly improved rice eating and cooking quality while maintaining the levels of total starch, total protein, and key agronomic traits.

A strategy for decreasing prolamin content in rice endosperm through gene editing.

Multiplex CRISPR editing of prolamin genes and phenotype-based screening revealed that reducing prolamin content in rice can increase lysine content and digestibility, improve taste. PROLM25 and PROLM26 are key genes for reducing prolamin content, and knocking out these two genes can achieve the same effect.

Optimizing Sugarcane Cultivation: Efficacy of Single Emergence and Quality Traits

A GmOIL2 allele separates fertility and seed traits in soybean.

A CRISPR-derived 36-bp in-frame deletion in GmOIL2 maintains fertility and seed weight while altering seed-related traits. This allele provides a genetic resource for improving soybean quality without affecting seed weight.

Nano-hematite Promotes Seed Germination and Stress Resilience of Maize: Redox-Mediated Kick-Start of Respiratory Metabolism

Successful seed germination is critical for agricultural production and ecosystem sustainability. Naturally occurring nanominerals often co-exist with seeds in the environment, yet their effects on seed germination remain largely unexplored....
