Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat (CRISPR)/CRISPR-associated protein 9 (Cas9)-assisted genome editing has been applied to several major edible agaricomycetes, enabling efficient gene targeting. This method is promising for rapid and efficient breeding to isolate high-value cultivars and overcome cultivation challenges. However, the integration of foreign DNA fragments during this process raises concerns regarding genetically modified organisms (GMOs) and their regulatory restrictions.

- * RNA sequencing and virus indexing revealed the presence of six viruses, including Canna yellow mottle virus and two new ones, causing symptoms in infected plants.
- * Mealybugs and aphids were identified as vectors for these viruses, with further studies needed to confirm the relationship between viral infections and the decline in flowering ginger health.
A sporeless strain is an important breeding target in the mushroom industry. However, basidiospore production in the oyster mushroom Pleurotus ostreatus has been shown to be impaired by single-gene mutations in only two meiosis-related genes, mer3 and msh4. This study proposed a strategy for identifying the genes essential for basidiospore formation after meiotic division to determine new targets for molecular breeding.

- - In March 2021, the ICTV updated the phylum Negarnaviricota by officially ratifying new taxonomy changes.
- - The revision included the addition of four families, three subfamilies, 42 genera, and 200 species, along with several renaming and abolishing of species.
- - This article outlines the newly accepted taxonomic structure of Negarnaviricota following the ICTV's decisions.
