TL;DR: In this paper, the CRISPR/Cas9 system was used in plants to confer molecular immunity against DNA viruses, including the tomato yellow leaf curl virus (TYLCV).

TL;DR: Analysis of the efficiencies of targeting different coding and non-coding sequences in the genomes of multiple geminiviruses indicates that targeting noncoding, intergenic sequences provides viral interference activity and significantly limits the generation of viral variants capable of replication and systemic infection.

TL;DR: The main findings from recent studies of CRISPR/Cas9-mediated viral interference are described and discussed and how these findings can be applied to improve global agriculture.

TL;DR: The results confirmed the efficiency of the CRISPR/Cas9 system for stable engineering of TYLCV resistance in N. benthamiana and tomato, and opens the possibilities of engineering virus resistance against single and multiple infectious viruses in other crops.

TL;DR: The macrolide pladienolide B (PB) inhibits constitutive splicing and AS in plants and reveals the molecular underpinnings of the interplay between stress responses, ABA signaling and post‐transcriptional regulation in plants.
