This study evaluates the long-term viability of wild-type and gene-edited pennycress seeds under different field conditions, finding that gene-edited seeds lose viability faster than wild-type seeds.

This paper uses CRISPR to edit pennycress, reducing glucosinolates and weediness to create a high-yield, low-carbon crop for agricultural and fuel use.

This study shows that reducing PIF7 in pennycress decreases shade and heat responses without affecting yield or oil content, improving plant performance under stress.

The paper analyzes 739 Thlaspi arvense accessions to uncover genetic variation and adaptation mechanisms, identifying genomic regions linked to agronomic traits and climate resilience.
