Polyamines (PAs) are low molecular weight, aliphatic polycations ubiquitously present in all living organisms. They play crucial roles in a variety of physiological processes in plants, including growth, development, and stress responses. The primary polyamines found in plants are putrescine (Put), spermidine (Spd), and spermine (Spm). Their ability to interact with nucleic acids, proteins, and READ MORE

CRISPR Beyond Gene Editing: Innovative Applications in Agriculture
The discovery of CRISPR (Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats) revolutionized genetic science, primarily known for its role in gene editing. By utilizing the CRISPR-Cas9 system, scientists can precisely edit genes, allowing modifications in DNA sequences that can confer desired traits. However, as CRISPR technology matures, researchers are discovering its potential applications beyond simple gene READ MORE
