Interpretive Summary:

Technical Abstract: The identification of gene regulatory networks (GRNs) are useful constructs that can play a role in crop improvement through understanding stress response, development, and plant evolution and domestication in given environmental contexts. Such GRNs are best created through multi-omics approaches in specific tissues in order to strengthen candidate genes and non-coding regulatory loci for functional characterization and ultimate incorporation into breeding program. By identifying GRNs their non-coding regulatory regions that influence gene expression, researchers can curate targets for breeding and CRISPR editing to generate quantitative trait variation that is more useful than creating genetic null mutants.
