In this study, researchers identified 22 Hsp70 genes in cassava and analyzed their functions. They found that these genes are involved in various cellular processes and play a role in stress tolerance and adaptation. This information can help scientists make informed decisions for their lab regarding stress management in cassava.
Scientists created the first reference genome for a critically endangered tree species, Juglans cinerea, to study its resistance to a destructive fungus. The genome sequencing and analysis provided insights into the species' genetic evolution and potential defenses against the pathogen.
Scientists have produced the first high-quality genome of crape myrtle, revealing its evolution and providing insights into flower and leaf color. This will benefit the study of related species and enhance breeding efforts.
Scientists obtained 4,382 sgRNAs targeting 1,060 tobacco genes and created 10,682 targeted mutants. They conducted four optimization experiments to address genetic transformation issues. Important for improving tobacco research and transformation techniques.
This study looked at how arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi and carrot plants respond to drought. Drought decreased photosynthesis and plant growth, and decreased root colonization. Genes related to symbiosis were downregulated in carrot but upregulated in the fungus. This shows that carrot plants reduce their investment in symbiosis during drought, while the fungus increases its efforts.
Researchers investigated the camphor tree's unique ability to thrive in subtropical urban environments, despite belonging to a family mostly found in tropical regions. Understanding its adaptability could have implications for urban greening initiatives and landscaping choices.
This study identifies and analyzes the RLCK-VII genes in G. hirsutum, providing insight into their evolutionary history, structural features, expression patterns, and their role in plant defense. Useful for understanding plant growth, development, and immunity.
