This study investigates the role of AIL7, an AP2/ERF transcription factor, in Arabidopsis immunity against clubroot pathogen, finding it enhances resistance through phytohormone-mediated defense mechanisms.

This study shows OpenCRISPR-1, an AI-derived Cas enzyme, successfully edits genes in tetraploid alfalfa with mono- or bi-allelic editing in 30% of genotypes.

This study engineers Saccharomyces cerevisiae to produce punicic acid-rich biomass, achieving 26.7% PuA in total fatty acids.

This study engineering Rhodosporidium toruloides to produce punicic acid from glucose and wood residues, achieving 12% lipid accumulation and 451.6 mg/L titer in shake flasks.
