This paper introduces sentinel plants as living biosensors to monitor bioavailable nitrate in soils and microbial environments, identifying a microbial consortium that enhances plant growth.

This study demonstrates the use of CRISPR-associated transposases for programmable DNA integration in plants, achieving efficient chromosomal and episomal integration in Arabidopsis and Nicotiana benthamiana.

This paper introduces VAST, a method improving transient gene expression in plant seedlings, showing enhanced efficiency across multiple species.

This paper develops an optimized R2 retroelement system for precise DNA insertion into plant genomes, achieving up to 24% efficiency for 2-5 kb payloads.
