Abstract: Gene editing to link a distal promoter to a gene of interest in order to modify the expression of the gene. The desired gene editing is a deletion or inversion. The invention relates to a method to enhance the expression of a fertility-restorer gene of interest in a plant. The invention also relates to the plant obtained by such methods.

Abstract: The invention relates to a plant containing genes coding for a dead Cas protein, a Spo11 protein, a guide RNAs around traits of interest and its use to improve introgression of the traits.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to novel particulate composite materials comprising a graphitic core particle associated with SiOx nanoparticles (0.2?X?1.8), and coated by a layer of non-graphitic carbon, e.g., pyrolytic carbon deposited by chemical vapor deposition (CVD). Also included are processes for making such particles as well as uses and downstream products for the novel composite material, in particular as an active material in negative electrodes in Li-ion batteries.
