Modulating the strigolactone pathway to optimize tomato shoot branching for vertical farming
Optimizing tomato architecture via CRISPR–Cas9 editing of strigolactone–related genes revealed that weak alleles can balance axillary shoot growth, yield, and ripening. Strong mutants reduced yield d...

A working model of miR172a-ERF416/413 module in the regulation of soybean seed traits. miR172a most likely cleaves the ERF416 and ERF413 to promote KIX8-1 expression but inhibit SWEET10a expression for the reduction of seed size/weight.
