Accruing genetic gain in pro-vitamin A enrichment from harnessing diverse maize germplasm por Menkir, A., Maziya-Dixon, B.B., Mengesha, W., Rocheford, T., Alamu, Emmanuel Oladeji

“…Maize has been targeted as one of the major crops for provitamin enrichment and delivery because it is an inexpensive and easily available source of food for millions of people in sub-Saharan Africa. Although tropical-adapted yellow maize contains provitamin-A carotenoids that can be converted into vitamin A in the human body, they represent less than 25% of the total carotenoids in most widely grown and consumed maize cultivars in Africa. …”

Broad-spectrum resistance to bacterial blight in rice using genome editing por Oliva, Ricardo, Ji, Chonghui, Atienza-Grande, Genelou, Huguet-Tapia, José C., Perez-Quintero, Alvaro, Li, Ting, Eom, Joon-Seob, Li, Chenhao, Nguyen, Hanna, Liu, Bo, Auguy, Florence, Sciallano, Coline, Luu, Van T., Dossa, Gerbert S., Cunnac, Sébastien, Schmidt, Sarah M., Slamet-Loedin, Inez H., Vera Cruz, Casiana, Szurek, Boris, Frommer, Wolf B., White, Frank F., Yang, Bing

“…Bacterial blight of rice is an important disease in Asia and Africa. The pathogen,Xanthomonas oryzaepv.oryzae(Xoo), secretes one or more of six known transcription-activator-like effectors (TALes) that bind specific promoter sequences and induce, at minimum, one of the three host sucrose transporter genesSWEET11,SWEET13andSWEET14, the expression of which is required for disease susceptibility. …”
