Abstract:
... The OsLCD gene, which has been implicated in cadmium (Cd) accumulation in rice, might be a useful target for CRISPR/Cas9 editing. However, the effects of OsLCD gene editing on Cd accumulation, plant growth, and yield traits remain unknown. Here, we used CRISPR/Cas9 to generate oslcd single mutants from indica and japonica rice cultivars. We also generated osnramp5 single mutants and oslcd osnramp5 ...

Abstract:
... Simple sequence repeat (SSR) microsatellite markers have been extensively used to identify duplication and analyse genetic diversity in germplasm collections of apple. Here, we present findings from the use of a standard set of SSR loci in the managed repropagation of a significant international germplasm collection: the UK National Fruit Collection (NFC). A subset of eight SSR loci was deemed suf ...

Abstract:
... Direct planting (i.e. the planting of seed roots) in sweet potato results in the formation of two root types – ‘mother’ and ‘daughter’ roots. High and stable daughter root yields are necessary to improve the acceptance of direct planting cultivation because mother roots have no commercial value. To establish a basis for the effective breeding, the root traits of 28 sweet potato genotypes cultivate ...

Growing resistant pea cultivars is the most economical and effective method for controlling the disease. In this study, firstly, 21 Fusarium oxysporum isolates were identified as races 1 and 5 of Fop b ...
