Establishment of Hevea brasiliensis lines overexpressing genes involved in ethylene signalling pathway [PDF]
The gaseous plant hormone ethylene has a wide variety of applications in agriculture and horticulture. Ethylene Response Factors (ERF) are the last transcription factors of the ethylene signalling pathway and control a large number of ethylene-responsive

An Agrobacterium‐delivered CRISPR/Cas9 system for high‐frequency targeted mutagenesis in maize
Summary CRISPR/Cas9 is a powerful genome editing tool in many organisms, including a number of monocots and dicots. Although the design and application of CRISPR/Cas9 is simpler compared to other nuclease‐based genome editing tools, optimization requires

Genetic Manipulation and Transformation Methods for Aspergillus spp.
Species of the genus Aspergillus have a variety of effects on humans and have been considered industrial cell factories due to their prominent ability for manufacturing several products such as heterologous proteins, secondary metabolites, and organic ...

A universal primer for isolation of fragments of a gene encoding phytoene desaturase for use in virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS) studies [PDF]
We have been using Virus-Induced Gene Silencing (VIGS) to test the function of genes that are candidates for involvement in floral senescence. Although VIGS is a powerful tool for assaying the effects of gene silencing in plants, relatively few taxa have

Transfection in Agrobacterium tumefaciens [PDF]
Intact cells of Agrobacterium tumefaciens were examined for ability to take up biologically active LR-4 phage deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) from the surrounding medium. DNA incorporation as measured by subsequent plaque formation (transfection) failed to occur when the bacteria were grown in defined minimal salts ...

Assessment of RNAi-induced silencing in banana (Musa spp.) [PDF]
In plants, RNA- based gene silencing mediated by small RNAs functions at the transcriptional or post-transcriptional level to negatively regulate target genes, repetitive sequences, viral RNAs and/or transposon elements.

An intracellular transporter mitigates the CO2‐induced decline in iron content in Arabidopsis shoots
This study identifies a gene encoding a transmembrane protein, MIC, which contributes to the reduction of shoot Fe content observed in plants under elevated CO2. MIC is a putative Fe transporter localized to the Golgi and endosomal compartments. Its post‐translational regulation in roots may represent a potential target for improving plant nutrition ...
