The paper shows iron deficiency activates secondary cell wall biosynthesis in poplar by downregulating the repressor PtrbHLH011, which suppresses SCW and iron homeostasis genes.

The paper identifies cryptic genetic variants in tomato that drive phenotypic change through hierarchical epistasis in a gene regulatory network.

This study identifies TaWUS2D as a gene that increases grain number per spikelet by promoting fertile ovaries in wheat through genetic and genomic analyses.

This study develops and evaluates TadA-8e-derived cytosine and dual base editors in plants, showing high efficiency, purity, and specificity with no off-target effects.

The paper investigates off-target effects of multiplexed CRISPR-Cas12a editing in rice using whole-genome sequencing and finds low-frequency chromosomal deletions and duplications with high DSB numbers.

The paper analyzes off-target effects of PAM-relaxed Cas9 editors in rice using whole-genome sequencing and finds ABE8e causes ~500 A-to-G mutations per plant at TA motifs.

This study uses whole-genome sequencing to analyze off-target mutations in Cas9 and Cpf1-edited rice, finding most mutations arise from tissue culture rather than nuclease activity.
