This study knocks out the BEL5 gene in tetraploid potato using CRISPR-Cas9, showing delayed tuberization but comparable yields, and develops improved gene editing methodology for polyploid crops.

The paper develops a CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing toolkit for transient and stable plant transformation, validated in rice and Arabidopsis, to improve access in low-income regions.

The paper develops a proximity labeling protocol to study FTL1 interactome in rice panicles, identifying proteins involved in trafficking and transcription, and showing FTL1's cell-to-cell mobility.

This study investigates how mutations in the HEADING DATE 1 gene affect rice transcription and cell wall composition under different day length conditions.
