This study creates a fast neutron mutant library in Ipomoea purpurea, showing dose-dependent phenotypic and genetic variation in ecologically relevant traits.

This study identifies a gene responsible for soybean resistance to leaf-chewing insects by showing that loss of flavonol 3-O-glucosyltransferase activity increases proanthocyanidins and reduces feeding damage.

The paper develops CRISPR-mediated base-editors to create disarmed Agrobacterium strains with auxotrophy and recombination deficiency for improved plant transformation.

The paper identifies a temperature-sensitive chlorotic soybean mutant and shows that a mutation in Glyma.07G102300 causes the phenotype, with severity increasing at lower temperatures.

MultiGreen improves upon GreenGate by enabling efficient multiplexing and reducing assembly cycles for plant transgenic constructs.

This study analyzes small insertions and deletions (indels) in soybean lines mutagenized by fast neutron irradiation, finding that while SNPs are likely spontaneous, indels are enriched and increase loss-of-function mutations.
