Systematic comparison of Cas12i gene-editing tools in tomato identifies Cas-SF01 as the most efficient variant, achieving editing efficiencies comparable to conventional Cas9 at some genomic sites and providing a compact, highly specific, and versatile tool for studying gene function, engineering fruit metabolism, and developing improved tomato varieties through precision breeding.
A CRISPR/Cas9 toolkit was established for the rice leaffolder using entirely endogenous regulatory elements and provides a system for functional genomics in this pest.

A complete, gap-free genome of Medicago lupulina, a tough, high-protein forage legume, and a gene-editing tool for this species, which was used to alter its leaf shape, provide key resources for improving alfalfa and breeding better forage crops for high-altitude environments.

This Opinion article argues that susceptibility gene editing is shifting from passive knockout to active design. We propose three strategies—targeting conserved host nodes, synergizing S gene knockout with R gene pyramiding and tailored precision editing—to achieve broad‐spectrum resistance without yield penalties.

Zero-knowledge proofs can verify computing results without rerunning workloads or exposing sensitive data. Magnetar helps bring them into the mainstream with support for standard programming languages, major speed gains, and quantum-resistant security. The post Proof-based general-purpose computing with Magnetar appeared first on Microsoft Research.
