Increasing crop production to meet the demands of a growing population depends largely on crop improvement through new plant-breeding techniques (NPBT) such as genome editing. CRISPR/Cas systems are NPBTs that...

Mass mortalities of the larval stage of the giant freshwater prawn, , have been occurring in Bangladesh since 2011. Mortalities can reach 100% and have resulted in an 80% decline...

Although Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats (CRISPR)/CRISPR-associated 9 (Cas9) system has been widely used for basic research in model plants, its application for applied breeding in crops has faced...

A multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA)-based method was developed and successfully utilized to efficiently detect both CRISPR/Cas9-induced and naturally occurred mutations in rice. The site-specific nuclease-based CRISPR/Cas9 system has emerged...

Two methods, PCR and amplicon labeling based, were developed and successfully applied to reliably detect CRISPR/Cas9 induced indels in rice. The use of CRISPR/Cas9 has emerged as a powerful nuclease-based...

Molecular characterization lays a foundation for safety assessment and subsequent monitoring of genetically modified (GM) crops. Due to the target-specific nature, conventional polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based methods cannot comprehensively detect...

Reliable methods are needed to detect the presence of tobacco components in tobacco products to effectively control smuggling and classify tariff and excise in tobacco industry to control illegal tobacco...
