TL;DR: In the present review, several CRISPR/Cas based approaches have been discussed, considering recent advances and challenges to implicate those in the crop improvement programs, and a catalog of available computational tools and servers facilitating designing of guide-RNA targets, construct designs, and data analysis is provided.

TL;DR: How H2 S and NO, being very small size molecules, can quickly pass through the cell membranes and triggers a multitude of responses to various factors, notably to various stress conditions like drought, heat, osmotic, heavy metal, and multiple biotic stresses is described.

TL;DR: The options available for crop improvement by implementing CRISPR/Cas9 based genome-editing techniques with special emphasis on cereal crops have been summarized and recent advances providing opportunities to simultaneously edit many target genes were discussed.

TL;DR: The current state of the art in the molecular understanding of the nutritional aspects, conventional and molecular breeding efforts, and biofortification studies undertaken to improve the nutritional content and quality of tomato are highlighted.

TL;DR: The role of aquaporins (AQPs) providing tolerance against hazardous metal(loid)s in plants is discussed to provide a perspective on the present understanding, knowledge gaps, and opportunities.
