Article Synopsis
- * Recent advancements in genome sequencing and assembly techniques allow for the creation of high-quality reference genomes, which can now include various genetic variations through pan-genome development.
- * By analyzing these pan-genomes, researchers aim to pinpoint the genetic factors behind desirable traits, paving the way for more efficient breeding and the production of innovative cultivars with enhanced qualities.
Regulation of gene expression is essential for all life. Tools to manipulate the gene expression level have therefore proven to be very valuable in efforts to engineer biological systems. However, there are few well-characterized genetic parts that reduce gene expression in plants, commonly known as transcriptional repressors.

The nature of this phenomenon remains unclear. In this work, we investigated the root system architecture (RSA) of declining and non-declining apple trees in two orchards in New York State.
