Scientists developed two virus-induced genome editing (VIGE) methods for Solanaceous plants using TRV and PVX vectors. VIGE showed high mutation rates of 40.3% and 36.5%, and heat treatment increased editing efficiency by 33% to 76%. The methods can be applied to other Solanaceous crops.
Scientists analyzed Eucalyptus gene expression and alternative splicing, finding AS's role in biological processes, including lignin biosynthesis. The research aids understanding of woody plant development and adaptation. Resources available via ePlant browser.
Researchers identified expression patterns in ethylene-related genes (ERGs) associated with sexual determination in Cannabis sativa. They proposed a new pattern called karyotype concordant (KC) expression and found that ERGs related to sexual plasticity are widespread. This could inform regulation decisions for sexual plasticity in the plant.
Researchers analyzed the codon usage bias (CUB) of mitochondrial genes in Hemerocallis citrina. Understanding CUB can aid in improving gene expression efficiency and optimizing breeding programs in this valuable vegetable crop.
This study analyzed the Cytochrome P450 genes in sweet potato, giving insights into their evolutionary relationships and functions. This information can help in understanding the roles of these genes in plant defense and biochemical reactions.
Study identifies molecular mechanisms behind cadmium accumulation in medicinal herb Coptis chinensis, offers strategies to control and mitigate accumulation, enhance resistance, and promote synthesis of secondary metabolites.
PpLBD16, a transcription factor in peach plants, promotes root formation by activating genes related to cell wall synthesis, ion transport, and peach root organogenesis. Understanding its regulatory network can enhance LR development.
Researchers analyzed the GRAS transcription factor family in rye, finding it plays important roles in plant development and stress response. This knowledge can improve our understanding of rye's potential use in agriculture and breeding programs.
