Genome editing technologies provide a powerful tool for genetic improvement of perennial ryegrass, an important forage and turfgrass species worldwide. The sole publication gene in ryegrass used gene-gun plant transformation dual promoter based CRISPR/Cas9 system editing. However, their efficiency was low (5.9% or only one gene-edited produced). To test the suitability maize Ubiquitin 1 ( ZmUbi1 ) we produced promoter: RUBY transgenic plants. We observed that active callus tissue prior to...
Impatiens L., the largest genus in family Balsaminaceae with approximately 1000 species, is a controversial and complex that includes many economically important species well known for medicinal ornamental values. However, there limited knowledge of molecular phylogeny chloroplast genomics, uncertainties still exist at taxonomic level. In this study, we have assembled four genomics specimens cyanantha monticola , which are found different altitudes Guizhou Yunnan China, compared them...
Abstract Deciduous woody plants like poplar (Populus spp.) have seasonal bud dormancy. It has been challenging to simultaneously delay the onset of dormancy in fall and advance break spring, as dormancy, were thought be controlled by different genetic factors. Here, we demonstrate that heterologous expression REVEILLE1 gene (named AaRVE1) from Agave (Agave americana) not only delays but also accelerates field trials. AaRVE1 increases biomass yield 166% greenhouse. Furthermore, reveal...
