These mutations improve biocontainment, transformation stability, and overall performance in genetic engineering of plants. Complementing the strains, researchers also developed new plasmids and a ...

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play a crucial role in plant gene regulation, with their biogenesis involving complex processes. Fine-tuning miRNAs is a powerful biotechnology strategy that can improve plant ...

In a rapidly changing climate landscape, the plants we rely on for food, textiles and more face a multitude of challenges, including rising temperatures, drought and disease. Caltech's Gözde Demirer, ...

However, traditional gene delivery methods, such as Agrobacterium-mediated transformation and gene guns, are often slow, inefficient, and can damage plant tissues. These highlight the need for more ...
