In Africa, smallholder agriculture is the most common type of farming, and its growth is closely linked to reducing poverty and promoting agricultural development. It is estimated that around 41 million smallholders provide most of the food for both rural and urban residents in Africa. Some challenges African farmers face in food crop production include […]
Genome editing Genome editing is a technique to alter DNA of specific cells or organisms including bacteria, plants and animals. Genome editing has extensive advantages starting from agricultural research to human disease research. Recent advancement of bacterial or engineered nucleases target and or modify genomic DNA regions more accurately and effectively. In the context of […]

In recent years, plant single-cell transcriptomics has been developing rapidly and enabling researchers to study plant organs with high resolution and high throughput information. Single cell transcriptome technology was first reported in 2009 (Tang et al.,2009) and as the name suggests, single cell transcriptome is the transcriptome of a single cell. Single cell-RNA sequencing (scRNA-sequencing) […]
