An oxidoreductase gene CtnD involved in citrinin biosynthesis in Monascus purpureus verified by CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing and overexpression.
Monascus produces a kind of mycotoxin, citrinin, whose synthetic pathway is still not entirely clear. The function of CtnD, a putative oxidoreductase located upstream of pksCT in the citrinin gene cluster, has not been reported. In this study, the CtnD overexpressed strain and the Cas9 constitutively expressed chassis strain were obtained by genetic transformation mediated by Agrobacterium tumefaciens. The pyrG and CtnD double gene-edited strains were then obtained by transforming the protoplasts of the Cas9 chassis strain with in vitro sgRNAs. The results showed that overexpression of CtnD resulted in significant increases in citrinin content of more than 31.7% and 67.7% in the mycelium and fermented broth, respectively. The edited CtnD caused citrinin levels to be reduced by more than 91% in the mycelium and 98% in the fermented broth, respectively. It was shown that CtnD is a key enzyme involved in citrinin biosynthesis. RNA-Seq and RT-qPCR showed that the overexpression of CtnD had no significant effect on the expression of CtnA, CtnB, CtnE, and CtnF but led to distinct changes in the expression of acyl-CoA thioesterase and two MFS transporters, which may play an unknown role in citrinin metabolism. This study is the first to report the important function of CtnD in M. purpureus through a combination of CRISPR/Cas9 editing and overexpression.

Engineering crop determinacy: CRISPR/Cas based advances in self-pruning gene function and application.
The transition from indeterminate to determinate growth represents a key achievement in crop improvement, as it enhances agricultural productivity by synchronizing flowering, facilitating uniform harvest, and improving overall efficiency. In tomato and other crops, this shift is largely governed by mutations in the SELF-PRUNING (SP) gene, a key member of the CENTRORADIALIS (CEN), TERMINAL FLOWER 1 (TFL1), and SELF-PRUNING (SP) (CETS) gene family that regulates the vegetative to reproductive phase transition and influences overall shoot architecture. With increasing labour constraints, climate variability and rising global food security challenges, the ability to engineer optimized plant architectures has become increasingly important. CRISPR-based genome editing provides a precise and efficient strategy to modify SP/TFL1 homologs, enabling targeted transition from indeterminate to compact, determinate growth forms that exhibit synchronized flowering and enhanced mechanical harvestability. These genome editing approaches have been successfully applied across diverse crop species, including tomato, legumes, cotton, cereals and horticultural crops. This review consolidates current understanding of the molecular mechanisms governing determinacy, with emphasis on the central role of SP/TFL1 genes and their interactions with hormonal pathways such as auxin and cytokinin. By integrating these insights with recent advances in CRISPR-based editing platforms, this review provides a practical framework for researchers and breeders aiming to leverage CRISPR technology for next-generation crop improvement. Such strategies hold significant potential for enhancing productivity, resilience and sustainability within modern agricultural systems.

CRISPR/Cas technology: fueling the future of Biofuel production with sugarcane.
The objective of present review is to provide a scientific overview of sugarcane as a potential feedstock for biofuel and use of genome editing approach for improvement of industrial and agronomical traits in sugarcane. Sugarcane, a perennial tropical grass with a high biomass index, is a promising feedstock for bioethanol production, and its bagasse, rich in lignocellulosic material, serves as an ideal feedstock for producing second-generation bioethanol. To improve the conversion of sugarcane biomass into biofuels, developing varieties with improved biomass degradability and high biomass and sucrose content is essential. The complex genome architecture and earlier lack of sequence data hindered biotechnological advancements in sugarcane, but recent genome sequence updates offer new opportunities for sugarcane improvement. The first genetically modified sugarcane was developed in 1992 by Bower and Birch using microprojectile bombardment of embryogenic callus. Since then, transgenic techniques have rapidly evolved, leading to the advancement of genome editing technologies. Application of genome editing tools particularly CRISPR/Cas system has been successfully used in sugarcane for editing. Recently, multiple alleles of the magnesium chelatase and acetolactate synthase genes in sugarcane have been successfully edited through multiplexing. Additionally, CRISPR-edited sugarcane varieties with modified cell wall components and increased sucrose content for enhanced bioethanol production have been developed. At the end, the future of CRISPR-edited crops will depend on how well regulatory frameworks adapt to the rapidly evolving technology.

Avenues of genome editing for color trait improvement in ornamental fishes: current status and future perspectives.
Ornamental fish industries are growing sectors contributing significantly to livelihood, trade and export, driven by the worldwide demand for colourful and unique species. Pigmentation is the focal point of the visual appeal of ornamental fish, market value, and species-specific interaction. The pigment cells are called chromatophores, derived from neural crest cells and controlled by sophisticated genetic mechanisms, conferring these fish with distinctive colours and patterns. Historically, selective breeding and dietary pigment supplementation have been applied to enhance colouration. Such traditional practices, however, are prone to disadvantages such as slow development, genetic ambiguity, and unforeseen consequences. With the invention of genome editing, such as CRISPR-Cas9, researchers now have a sensitive and powerful tool to control pigmentation traits at the genetic level. Central pigmentation gene manipulation, such as Tyr, Mc1r, and Slc45a2, can allow researchers to introduce stable and uniform color changes. Such enhancements confer unparalleled control of fish colour, a promising avenue in the ornamental fish industry. This review discusses the genetic nature of fish pigmentation. It reports recent advances in CRISPR-based modifications and describes their possible applications and implications for future ornamental fish breeding.

Protocol for generating endogenous degron tags in essential transcription factors in human iPSCs via CRISPR-Cas9.
Precise genome engineering in human pluripotent stem cells remains inefficient, limiting endogenous fluorescent tagging needed to study phase-separated membraneless nuclear compartments. Here, we present a protocol for generating precise knockin alleles of essential genes in human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) via CRISPR-Cas9 editing. We describe steps for combining transient p53 inhibition, optimized transfection conditions, and fluorescence-activated cell sorting. This protocol enables recovery of viable edited clones that would otherwise be lost due to editing-induced stress or essential gene perturbation. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Li et al.1.

Efficient generation of a CYP3A4-T2A-luciferase knock-in HepaRG subclone and its optimized differentiation.
CRISPR/Cas9 has allowed development of better and easier-to-use ADME models than traditional methods by complete knockout or knock-in of genes. However, gene editing in HepaRG cells remains challenging because long-term monoclonal cultivation may alter their differentiation capacity to a large extent. Here, CRISPR/Cas9 was used to generate a CYP3A4-T2A-luciferase knock-in HepaRG subclone by Cas9-mediated homologous recombination and monoclonal cultivation. The knock-in HepaRG-#9 subclone retained a similar differentiation potential to wildtype HepaRG cells (HepaRG-WT). To further improve differentiation and expand the applications of knock-in HepaRG cells, two optimized differentiation procedures were evaluated by comparison with the standard differentiation procedure using the knock-in HepaRG-#9 subclone and HepaRG-WT. The results indicated that addition of forskolin (an adenylate cyclase activator) and SB431542 (a TGF-β pathway inhibitor) to the first optimized differentiation procedure led to better differentiation consequence in terms of not only the initiation time for differentiation and morphological characterization, but also the mRNA levels of hepatocyte-specific genes. These data may contribute to more extensive applications of genetically modified HepaRG cells in ADME studies.
