TL;DR

A multiplex CRISPR/Cas12a system is established in eggplant accession MEL3, representing, to the authors' knowledge, the first application of this nuclease for genome editing in eggplant and demonstrating the potential of Cas12a for functional genomics, allele engineering, and precision breeding in eggplant.

MAD7-mediated genome editing via Agrobacterium enables recovery of hexa-allelic edited lines carrying distinct mutations in all six gene copies in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) T0 plants and stable inheritance of edits into the following generation

The expansion of genome-editing tools for bread wheat ( Triticum aestivum L.) is essential to accelerate trait improvement while addressing intellectual property constraints associated with widely used CRISPR systems. MAD7 (ErCas12a), a royalty-accessible CRISPR nuclease, represents a potential alternative to CRI...

CRISPR/Cas9-mediated transformation enables functional characterization of the effector Avr4 in the banana pathogen Pseudocercospora fijiensis

It is demonstrated that Avr4 does not explain the resistance of Calcutta 4, suggesting that resistance is instead triggered by the recognition of other hitherto unknown effectors.

A minimal two-amino-acid deletion in SmMYB1 converts an activator into a dominant repressor, reshaping global eggplant anthocyanin pigmentation during domestication.

This study uncovers a rare case in which a deletion of just two amino acids is sufficient to generate a potent dominant-negative regulator, designated SmMYB1alf-D, which enables reliable prediction of fruit color and provides a breeding strategy to precisely manipulate anthocyanin metabolism.
