Recently, academician Liu Yaoguang's team from College of Life Sciences, South China Agricultural University, The State Key Laboratory for Conservation and Utilization of Subtropical Agro-Bioresources, and Guangdong Laboratory for Lingnan Modern Agriculture, published a research paper entitled The ScCas9++ variant expands the CRISPR toolbox for genome editing in plants online in Journal of Integrative Plant Biology. This research uses optimized CRISPR/ScCas9++ new variants derived from Streptococcus canis to develop a wide-targeted plant genome editing and cytosine single-base editor, providing new opportunities for plant functional genomics research and crop genetic improvement research tool. At present, CRISPR/Cas genome editing technology has become an important tool for functional genomics research and crop genetic improvement. However, its editing range is often limited by PAM motifs and their editing windows. Therefore, the development of Cas variants with a wider range of PAM recognition is an important research direction to expand the scope of editing use of CRISPR/Cas systems...

Traditional agricultural skills that made civilization possible are still alive and in use today. At the same time, hundreds of farm technician job listings across the US, and the rise of precision agriculture and software, clearly evidence the need for technologically-savvy farm technicians in the 21st century agricultural industry. It’s no surprise that tech-friendly millennials interested in farming are encouraged by these developments, which may make farming less labor intensive than in generations past... Without technicians capable of running and maintaining these new tools, farms cannot tap into such precision herbicide application... individual animal management tools, technology in tractors, sensors, etc...

Root-knot nematodes are one of the three most economically damaging genera of plant-parasitic nematodes on horticultural and field crops. Root-knot nematodes are very small and they parasitic the roots of thousands of plant species, including monocotyledonous and dicotyledonous, herbaceous and woody plants. They dwell in the soil, attack the roots of the plant to extract water and nutrients. As a result, large galls or “knots” can form throughout the root systems of infected plants...

While there are numerous reasons for using cover crops, a primary one is improving soil health. In fact, it’s the one benefit most farmers using cover crops have experienced: In the most recent Cover Crop Survey Annual Report, of those who rated the statement, “Using cover crops has improved soil health on my farm,” 86% agreed or strongly agreed. The report notes that it’s interesting and heartening that “soil health reflects an embrace of a long-term, hard-to-quantify benefit of cover crops, and that for the past two surveys, it has achieved the top spot by garnering 86% of the responses. ”While soil health may be harder to quantify than benefits like biomass production or input savings, there are ways of measuring how cover crops are making a difference in your soil...
