Targeted mutagenesis of stabilizes the production of anthocyanins in potato cell culture.

To increase the production of decorated anthocyanins in potato cell cultures, we knocked out a novel potato gene, named (), using CRISPR-Cas9 editing. Our results provided evidence that mutant cell lines doubled the accumulation level of anthocyanins biosynthesized. Moreover, the production of these important pigments was stabilized over time.

Temperature and storage time strongly affect the germination success of perennial species in Mediterranean regions.

This study aims to explore the effect of environmental factors (temperature, light, storage time) on germination response and dormancy patterns in eight Mediterranean native wildplants, belonging to the L. genus. In detail, we considered subsp.
