ABSTRACT RNA interference (RNAi) is a highly conserved gene silencing mechanism regulating gene expression at transcriptional and post‐transcriptional levels in plants. Synthetic trans‐acting small interfering RNAs (syn‐tasiRNAs) have emerged as powerful tools for highly specific and efficient gene silencing.

ABSTRACT Narrow or upright branch angles in shoots and leaves lead to columnar, upright‐growing tree architectures, as observed in various tree species such as Lombardy poplar (Populus nigra var. italica). However, the genetic mechanism underlying this unique growth habit in Lombardy poplar has not yet been elucidated.

ABSTRACT As the staple food of over half the world's population, rice with a high resistant starch (RS) content may be beneficial in the dietary prevention of diabetes and hyperlipidemia. Mutating key enzymes in starch metabolism to increase the RS content has been successful in other crops.

ABSTRACT To develop salt‐tolerant transgenic soybeans, ScHAL1 from Saccharomyces cerevisiae (yeast), which increases salt tolerance by maintaining high intracellular K+ concentrations and decreasing intracellular Na+ during salt stress, was introduced into soybean (Glycine max L. Merr.) through Agrobacterium tumefaciens‐mediated transformation.

ABSTRACT Wheat is one of the globally important food crops, but its genetically modified application lags behind other staple crops due to its complex genome and low transformation efficiency. Normally, traditional transgenic and gene‐edited wheat requires multiple selfing generations for obtaining homozygous lines, which delayed the development of ...

ABSTRACT Hairy‐root transformation is widely used to generate transgenic plant roots for genetic functional characterisation studies. However, transformation efficiency can be limited, largely due to the use of binary vectors. Here, we report on the development of novel integrative vectors that significantly increase the transformation efficiency of ...

Proposed model for the dual role of cNOS in DNA damage and repair upon UV radiation. Abstract Solar ultraviolet (sUV) radiation is a major environmental factor that induces DNA damage, promoting skin aging and carcinogenesis. The formation of cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers (CPDs) is one of the most prevalent forms of UV‐induced DNA lesions, playing a ...
