This paper develops a modified Cas9 scaffold for virus-induced gene editing (VIGE) in Potyviruses, enabling efficient gene editing in plants by eliminating stop codons in the Cas9 sgRNA scaffold.

This study designs virus-delivered short RNA inserts (vsRNAi) for gene silencing in plants, showing effectiveness in Nicotiana benthamiana and crops like tomato and scarlet eggplant.

This paper reports the identification of NatCCD4.1, an enzyme from Nyctanthes arbor-tristis, and demonstrates its use in microbial and plant systems to produce crocetin dialdehyde and crocins with high yields.
