Cereal crops exhibit low efficiency in regenerating whole plants from transformed cells. Overcoming this recalcitrance is necessary to increase the success rate of transgenic trait integration.

Agricultural yields are severely limited by fungal infections such as clubroot and blackleg. Reducing this vulnerability prevents significant biomass loss and improves crop reliability.

Unreliable restoration of male fertility in G-type cytoplasmic systems prevents commercial hybrid production. Solving this ensures consistent crop yields in hybrid breeding programs.

Cereal crops and other plants suffer from inherent vulnerability to fungal infections which reduce yield and quality. Overcoming this biological limitation provides a significant agricultural and economic advantage through improved crop durability.
