Genome editing for nutritional biofortification in maize: bridging molecular innovation and food security in the Global South

Micronutrient deficiency is a prevalent challenge in Sub-Saharan Africa and other geographies of the Global South where populations rely on maize as the primary calorie source. Globally, the most widespread micronutrient deficiencies include iron, zinc, and vitamin A, which are inherently low in maize. Besides, maize g...

Single-Cell Omics to Uncover Cell-Type-Specific Gene Regulatory Networks Driving Mucilage Production in Specialized Roots

Aerial roots of certain maize (Zea mays) and sorghum (Sorghum bicolor) genotypes secrete a carbohydrate-rich mucilage that sustains nitrogen-fixing bacteria, and the underground roots of most plants secrete mucilage at their tips. In both settings, border cells released from the root cap produce this mucilage, yet the...
