DNA-free and genotype-independent CRISPR/Cas9 system in soybean

This paper develops a DNA-free CRISPR/Cas9 system in soybean using iPB-RNP method, achieving genome editing in shoot apical meristems without tissue culture, resulting in 0.4-4.6% mutation transmission to next generation.

The transcriptomic landscapes of diverse rice cultivars grown under mild drought conditions

The paper catalogs phenomes and transcriptomes of rice cultivars under mild drought stress to identify genetic basis for drought resilience.
