Abstract The fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda , is a highly invasive pest that poses severe threats to food crop production worldwide. Several methods have been applied control armyworm infestations, including egg parasitoids, chemical insecticides, and transgenic crops expressing Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) toxins. However, the currently available are either poorly effective or facing challenges such as resistance development environmental concerns. rapidly evolving molecular tools of genetic engineering, particularly clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)/CRISPR‐associated (Cas), increasingly utilized in recent years attempts develop novel management strategies genetically resistant crops. CRISPR/Cas‐based genome editing offers precise efficient tool has used successfully several functional genomic studies over last few years. In this review, we summarize progress using CRISPR/Cas for enabling targeted modification key genes essential survival propagation pest. potential system insect‐resistant approaches can be integrated into current discussed.

ABSTRACT Weed communities influence the dynamics of ecosystems, particularly in disturbed environments where anthropogenic activities often result higher pollution. Understanding existing between native weed and invasive species is crucial for effective management normal ecosystem functioning. Recognising potential resistance to invasion can help identify suitable plants restoration operations. This review aims investigate adaptations exhibited by non‐native weeds that may affect invasions within environments. Factors such as ecological characteristics, altered soil conditions, potentially confer a competitive advantage relative or are analysed. Moreover, roles biotic interactions competition, mutualistic relationships, allelopathy shaping described. Emphasis given consideration key factor provides insights conservation efforts Additionally, this underscores need further research unravel underlying mechanisms devise targeted strategies. These strategies aim promote mitigate negative effects By delving deeper into these insights, we gain an understanding ecosystems develop valuable species, restore long‐term sustainability.

Plant-derived oils provide 20%-35% of dietary calories and are a primary source essential omega-6 (linoleic) omega-3 (α-linolenic) fatty acids. While traditional breeding has significantly increased yields in key oilseed crops like soybean, sunflower, canola, peanut, cottonseed, overall gains have plateaued over the past few decades. Oilseed also experience substantial yield losses both prime marginal agricultural areas due to biotic abiotic stresses shifting agro-climates. Recent genomic, transcriptomic, metabolomics research expanded our understanding genetic physiological control acid biosynthesis composition. Many species inherent stress-combating mechanisms, including transcription factor regulation. Advances genome editing tools CRISPR/Cas9 offer precise modifications, targeting factors binding sites enhance desirable traits, such as nutritional profile chemical composition This review explores application improvement, covering recent progress, challenges, future potential boost oil content. These advancements could play transformative role developing resilient, nutritious crop varieties for sustainable food security changing climate.
