Which techniques are revealing how plants grow in extraterrestrial conditions? – Find out in your latest issue of BioTechniques!

In this issue of BioTechniques, we present a protocol for quantifying swimming behavior metrics for microfaunal studies, a comparison of robotic and manual injection methods in zebrafish embryos using CRISPR-RfxCas13d for RNA silencing and a tissue separation method for isolating endophytic bacteria from Dendrobium nobile.
