Inadequate lysine content of wheat endosperm proteins - possibility of correcting it by CRISPR-Cas system of genome editing
Proteins in endosperms of mature wheat seeds contain ~ 2.5% lysine. Proteins in endosperms of immature wheat seeds after 8 days of anthesis, interestingly contain ~ 8% lysine. Wheat endosperm proteins collecte...

Strategies to utilize genome editing for increasing nitrogen use efficiency in crops
The genome editing techniques have the potential to revolutionize agriculture by enhancing nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) in crops. Nitrogen is an essential nutrient for plant growth, but its inefficient utiliz...

Open AccessIntegration of Dual Stress Transcriptomes and Major QTLs from a Pair of Genotypes Contrasting for Drought and Chronic Nitrogen Starvation Identifies Key Stress Responsive Genes in Rice
We report here the genome-wide changes resulting from low N (N-W+), low water (N+W-)) and dual stresses (N-W-) in root and shoot tissues of two rice genotypes, namely, IR 64 (IR64) and Nagina 22 (N22), and the...
