In plants, the leap from genetic manipulation to genetic engineering will require knowledge of endogenous regulatory mechanisms and the establishment of precise molecular tools to modulate gene ...

Strawberry is cultivated in both soil-based field and substrate-based soilless hydroponic systems, yet how cultivation context shapes root-associated bacterial communities and their interaction ...

Modern agriculture highly depends on the achievements of crop domestication and improvement. While these activities increase yields, they also reduce the genetic diversity of crops. At the same time, ...
