Toward Realism About Genetic Enhancement

American Journal of Bioethics, 2019
In 2018, the first babies with edited DNA—Lulu and Nana—were born in China, under the auspices of nownotorious scientist He Jiankui. The experiment has been widely condemned as unethical on a number of grounds, including risk, lack of necessity, poor ...

Functional Analysis of BcSNX3 in Regulating Resistance to Turnip Mosaic Virus (TuMV) by Autophagy in Pak-choi (Brassica campestris ssp. chinensis)

Agronomy, 2022
Sorting nexin protein is a class of highly conserved eukaryotic proteins containing the PX domain. Recent studies related to SNX in plants have focused on the regulation of abiotic stress processes, and there are few studies on the involvement of SNX in ...

Enhanced Direct and Indirect Genetic Algorithm Approaches for a Mall Layout and Tenant Selection Problem [PDF]

Journal of Heuristics, 8(5), pp 503-514, 2002, 2008
During our earlier research, it was recognised that in order to be successful with an indirect genetic algorithm approach using a decoder, the decoder has to strike a balance between being an optimiser in its own right and finding feasible solutions. Previously this balance was achieved manually.

Identification of quantitative trait nucleotides and candidate genes for soybean seed weight by multiple models of genome-wide association study

BMC Plant Biology, 2020
Background Seed weight is a complex yield-related trait with a lot of quantitative trait loci (QTL) reported through linkage mapping studies. Integration of QTL from linkage mapping into breeding program is challenging due to numerous limitations ...

Genetic engineering to enhance mercury phytoremediation [PDF]

Current Opinion in Biotechnology, 2009
Most phytoremediation studies utilize merA or merB genes to modify plants via the nuclear or chloroplast genome, expressing organomercurial lyase and/or mercuric ion reductase in the cytoplasm, endoplasmic reticulum or within plastids. Several plant species including Arabidopsis, tobacco, poplar, rice, Eastern cottonwood, peanut, salt marsh grass and ...

Selection and validation of reference genes for RT-qPCR analysis in potato under abiotic stress

Plant Methods, 2017
Background Real-time quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) is the most commonly used method for accurately detecting gene expression patterns. As part of RT-qPCR analysis, normalization of the data requires internal control gene(s) that display uniform expression ...

Genome-wide sRNA and mRNA transcriptomic profiling insights into dynamic regulation of taproot thickening in radish (Raphanus sativus L.)

BMC Plant Biology, 2020
Background Taproot is the main edible organ and ultimately determines radish yield and quality. However, the precise molecular mechanism underlying taproot thickening awaits further investigation in radish.
