Hormonal Status of Transgenic Birch with a Pine Glutamine Synthetase Gene during Rooting In Vitro and Budburst Outdoors.

Scientists studied the effects of genetic modification on nitrogen metabolism in transgenic birch plants. They found that the plants had higher levels of indoleacetic acid (IAA) and were more productive in low nitrogen conditions. This research enhances our understanding of the relationship between hormones and nutrients in trees.

Genome architecture and genetic diversity of allopolyploid okra (Abelmoschus esculentus).

This study analyzed the genome of okra, an allopolyploid plant, revealing telomeric repeats, distinct rRNA gene arrangement, and multiple sub-genomes. It identified numerous putative genes involved in phenol biosynthesis and elucidated the genetic basis for okra's production of dietary and therapeutic compounds.
