Increasing the impact of science and technology to provide more people with healthier and safer food
Ensuring adequate food availability to an increasing world population constitutes one of the biggest challenges faced by humankind. This manuscript is aimed at generating reflexion and analysis about the challenges that agriculture faces at present to satisfy projected food demands, which implies doubling of food production by 2050. A broad transdisciplinary effort is needed to increase the impact of science and technology to provide more people with healthier and safer food, produced in a sustainable way. Education and knowledge transfer strategies are needed to guarantee responsible production and consumption everywhere,...

Emerging tools and paradigm shift of gene editing in cereals, fruits, and horticultural crops for enhancing nutritional value and food security
In this review, we provide a recent overview of state ‐of‐art discoveries in the CRISPR‐Cas system comprised of new Cas proteins, modifications of existing Cas9, refinements in CRISPR‐Cas‐induced gene editing, applications, and outcome emphasizing on major cereals and horticultural crops for ensuring food security. We also highlight the curre nt global policy framework for the regulation of gene‐edited crops. AbstractGene editing using sequence ‐specific nucleases, particularly CRISPR/Cas ribonucleoprotein, has drawn enormous attention in plant research in recent years. Nearly a decade ago, Cas9 protein was i...

Transcriptomic analysis of Chlorella sp. HS2 suggests the overflow of acetyl ‐CoA and NADPH cofactor induces high lipid accumulation and halotolerance
Allocation of storage carbon toward the synthesis of lipids seemed to play a critical role in conferring the halotolerance of aChlorella isolate by remediating excess oxidative stress experienced in photosystems. AbstractPreviously, we isolatedChlorella sp. HS2 (referred hereupon as HS2) from a local tidal rock pool and demonstrated its halotolerance and high biomass productivity under different salinity conditions. To further understand acclimation responses of this alga under high salinity stress, we performed transcriptome analysis of triplicated culture samples grown in freshwater and marine conditions at both exponent...
