A complex of sgRNA targeting sequences conserved in the two loci and Cas9 protein was introduced into the shoot apical meristems of soybean embryonic axes via bombardment. Cleaved amplified polymorphic sequences (CAPS) analysis conducted 1 month post-bombardment revealed that 138 seedlings out of 1,467 screened exhibited mutations at one or both GmBAS loci.

High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis showed that site-directed mutagenesis in the GmBAS1 locus resulted in the absence of soyasaponins in mature seeds, as well as in young roots, stems, and leaves.

Cytokinin (CK) is a hormone that primarily impacts the early development of fruit, however its influence on fruit ripening has not been thoroughly investigated.

Because of its pharmaceutical importance, improvements in Plantago ovata yield against abiotic stresses are necessary. Melatonin (MEL) is a stress-alleviating biostimulator and our results showed a reduction in Pb induced phytotoxicity by enhancing plant growth attributes and balancing protective osmolytes. Pb-induced reactive oxygen species accumulation, including superoxide and peroxide free radicals and their mitigation through enzymatic antioxidants, was demonstrated in presence of MEL.

Similar increases in the relative expression of genes (PoPAL and PoPPO), which are responsible for the production of non-enzymatic antioxidants, were observed.

Development of commercial hybrid varieties has proven to be a sustainable and economical alternative to deliver superior yield, quality and resistance with uniformity in a number of food crops. Cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS), a maternally inherited inability to produce functional pollen, facilitates a three-line system for efficient hybrid seed production strategies in crops. The CMS system has illustrated its potential as a robust pollination control mechanism to support the billion-dollar seed industry. In plants, CMS arises due to a genomic conflict between mitochondrial open reading frames (orfs) and nuclear-encoding restoration-of-fertility (Rf) genes, leading to floral abnormalities and pollen sterility. Research on pollen sterility and fertility restoration provides deeper insights into cytoplasmic-nuclear interplay in plants and elucidates key molecular targets for hybrid breeding in crops. More recently, programmable gene editing (e.g., TALEN, CRISPR-Cas) has emerged as a promising tool to functionally validate CMS and Rf genes and obviate the need for pollen donors or Rf-genes for hybrid breeding. Modern genomic prediction models have allowed establishment of high-performing heterotic groups and patterns for sustaining long-term gain in hybrid breeding.
