Besides textiles, cotton plays diverse roles such as producing cooking oil, seed feed, and even medicinal applications. Naturally colored cotton (NCC), featuring pigments derived from phenylpropanoids, offers a spectrum of hues in brown and green categories, providing an environmentally friendly and dye-free option. Despite the advantages of NCC, challenges such as limited superior NCC germplasm, coupled with lower strength, yield, pigment instability, and color constraints, have hindered NCC cultivar development. Recent advancements include developing pink cotton through betalain pathway engineering, highlighting biotechnological avenues for enhancing NCC cultivars. Carotenoids, diverse natural pigments with distinctive yellow, orange, and reddish hues, are essential for photosynthesis and serve as attractants for pollination in plants. Additionally, they are indispensable for human health as precursors of vitamin A and potent antioxidants, revolutionizing nutrient fortification in numerous crops. This review underscores advancements in NCC and carotenoid biofortification in crops, advocating genetic engineering via carotenoid biofortification in fibers to expand NCC’s color spectrum and revolutionize fiber development.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":100953,"journal":{"name":"New Crops","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142532677","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The total yield must be boosted from 3 tons hec<sup>‐1</sup> to 5 tons per hec<sup>‐1</sup> to meet the global food demands by 2050. A major breeding objective is to change the plant architecture to develop varieties suited for intensive agricultural practices and able to withstand climate extremes. Modifying plant architecture could significantly improve productivity; however, it is challenging due to negative associations with key agronomic traits influencing yield. The current research focus of this decade revolves around three critical agronomic variables: tiller number, plant height, and tiller angle. These variables have a significant role in altering plant architecture and ultimately impacting the potential yield. The ideal plant architecture requires moderate planting density, a narrow tiller angle, and reduced plant height, which can be attained through special tiller arrangement. Here, we review the developmental biology and underpinning genetics of the plant architecture traits, especially the genetic factors and environmental factors influencing wheat architecture. The use of crop wild relatives (CWRs), such as <em>Aegilops tauschii,</em> can enhance wheat cultivation by increasing breeding diversity and introgressing beneficial genes into elite wheat germplasm through the recently developed rapid high-throughput introgression (RHI) protocol. Identifying defective mutants and characterizing their corresponding genes will assist us in understanding the molecular mechanism and deploying beneficial alleles to manipulate plant architecture.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":100953,"journal":{"name":"New Crops","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142328261","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While the CRISPR/Cas system holds immense potential for genome editing, numerous obstacles may prevent it from fully realizing this potential. This paper reviews the history and current state of CRISPR/Cas9-mediated gene editing technology in rapeseed. Our discussion focuses on the advancements CRISPR/Cas9 has made in enhancing plant characteristics such as yield traits, quality, and disease resistance. To provide comprehensive insights for research focused on gene function studies or genetic improvement through genome editing technology, we review the latest progress in plant applications using emerging precise genome editing technologies and discuss the limitations, including technological hurdles. We also explore CRISPR/Cas applications in oilseed rape to achieve improved results within this framework. This review covers genes controlling abiotic stresses in rapeseed at various developmental stages and examines related literature on CRISPR/Cas technology applications. While much remains to be discovered, the existing background information will guide future investigations into genetic enhancement using CRISPR, beyond what is discussed here.

Tomatoes, a vital dietary staple and significant agricultural product worldwide, are particularly susceptible to these changes. The need for developing climate-resilient tomato varieties is more urgent than ever to ensure food security. Epigenetic modifications, such as DNA methylation and histone modifications, play essential roles in gene expression regulation. These modifications can affect plant traits and responses to environmental stresses, enabling tomatoes to maintain productivity despite variable climates or disease pressures. Tomato, as a model plant, offers valuable insights into the epigenetic mechanisms underlying fruit development and responses to stress.
