Plant Promoters: Their Identification, Characterization, and Role in Gene Regulation

Genes, 2023
One of the strategies to overcome diseases or abiotic stress in crops is the use of improved varieties. Genetic improvement could be accomplished through different methods, including conventional breeding, induced mutation, genetic transformation, or ...

Hidden prevalence of deletion-inversion bi-alleles in CRISPR-mediated deletions of tandemly arrayed genes in plants

Nature Communications, 2023
Tandemly arrayed genes (TAGs) with functional redundancy and chromosomal linkage constitute 14 ~ 35% in sequenced plant genomes. The multiplex CRISPR system is the tool of choice for creating targeted TAG deletions.

Fiber Cell-Specific Expression of the VP16-Fused Ethylene Response Factor 41 Protein Increases Biomass Yield and Alters Lignin Composition

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021
Arabidopsis thaliana transcription factors belonging to the ERFIIId and ERFIIIe subclade (ERFIIId/e) of the APETALA 2/ethylene response factor (AP2/ERF) family enhance primary cell wall (PCW) formation.

Cryo‐Electron Tomography of Toxoplasma gondii Indicates That the Conoid Fiber May Be Derived from Microtubules

Advanced Science, 2023
Toxoplasma gondii (T. gondii) is the causative agent of toxoplasmosis and can infect numerous warm‐blooded animals. An improved understanding of the fine structure of this parasite can help elucidate its replication mechanism.

Identification of enzymatic genes with the potential to reduce biomass recalcitrance through lignin manipulation in Arabidopsis

Biotechnology for Biofuels, 2020
Background During the chemical and biochemical decomposition of lignocellulosic biomasses, lignin is highly recalcitrant. Genetic transformation of plants to qualitatively and/or quantitatively modify lignin may reduce these recalcitrant properties ...

Systematic Analysis of Tobacco CrRLK1L Family Genes and Functional Identification of NtCrRLK1L47 in Environmental Stresses

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
The Catharanthus roseus RLK1-like (CrRLK1L) family is involved in the regulation of plant reproduction, growth and development, cell wall integrity sensing, as well as responses to both biotic and abiotic stress conditions.

Enzyme activities in soils under heavy metal pollution: a case study from the surroundings of a non-ferrous metal plant in Bulgaria

Biotechnology & Biotechnological Equipment, 2023
Soil enzyme activities are potentially valuable indicators of soil health in cases of heavy metal and metalloid (HM) pollution. However, the extent to which HM pollution affects specific enzyme activities remains unclear.

Temporal transcriptome analysis reveals several key pathways involve in cadmium stress response in Nicotiana tabacum L.

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023
Tobacco has a strong cadmium (Cd) enrichment capacity, meaning that it can absorb large quantities from the environment, but too much Cd will cause damage to the plant. It is not yet clear how the plant can dynamically respond to Cd stress.

The Specificity of Transgene Suppression in Plants by Exogenous dsRNA

Plants, 2022
The phenomenon of RNA interference (RNAi) is widely used to develop new approaches for crop improvement and plant protection. Recent investigations show that it is possible to downregulate plant transgenes, as more prone sequences to silencing than ...
