TL;DR: The present review summarizes the progress and challenges of genetic engineering and/or metabolic engineering technologies to improve rice grain quality, and presents the future prospects in developing nutrient dense rice to save the everincreasing population, that depends solely on rice as the staple food, from widespread nutritional deficiencies.

TL;DR: Although BAF of all plant species was lesser than one, these species exhibited high metal adaptability and could be considered as potential hyperaccumulators and can be used to remediate metal contaminated soils, though further investigation is still needed.

TL;DR: A simple, fast, and reproducible method for the Agrobacterium-mediated genetic transformation of S. indicum is described which may be employed for the transfer of desirable traits into this economically important oilseed crop.

TL;DR: This review extensively analyses the recent advances and challenges in using molecular markers, genomics, transcriptomics, miRNAs and transgenesis for improvement in biotic and abiotic stresses, carbon assimilation capabilities, seed yield, oil content and composition in camelina for biodiesel fuel properties, nutrition and high value-added industrial products like bioplastics, wax esters and terpenoids.

TL;DR: For the first time successful recovery of fertile transgenic plants of sesame from cotyledon explants inoculated with Agrobacterium tumefaciens carrying a binary vector pCAMBIA2301 is reported, which can be used to transfer new traits in sesame for quantitative and qualitative improvement.
