Tobacco is an important commercial crop and a rich source of alkaloids for pharmaceutical and agricultural applications. However, its yield can be reduced by up to 70% due to virus infections, especially by a potyvirus Potato virus Y (PVY). The replication of PVY relies on host factors, and eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4Es (eIF4Es) have already been identified as recessive resistance genes against potyviruses in many plant species.

This study investigated the effects of dietary supplementation with anthocyanin extracted from black rice bran (AR) on the growth rate, immunological response, and expression of immune and antioxidant genes in Nile tilapia raised in an indoor biofloc system. A total of 300 Nile tilapia fingerlings (15.14 ± 0.

Hairy root induction system has been applied in various plant species as an effective method to study gene expression and function due to its fast-growing and high genetic stability. Recently, these systems have shown to be an effective tool to evaluate activities of CRISPR/Cas9 systems for genome editing. In this study, mediated hairy root induction was optimized to provide an effective tool for validation of plant transformation vector, CRISPR/Cas9 construct activities as well as selection of targeted gRNAs for gene editing in cucumber ( L.

Background: In the alkaloid biosynthetic pathways of Stephania and Rannunculaceae, columbamine O-methyltransferase (CoOMT) is an important enzyme that catalyses the formation of the tetrahydropalmatin (rotundin) biosynthesis pathway. In this study, the transgenic construct pBI121-35S-CoOMT-cmyc-Kdel was designed successfully.

Methods And Results: The real-time RT-PCR results proved that the CoOMT transgene was successfully introduced into Nicotiana tabacum L.

Article Synopsis
  • - Overexpressing a specific DEAD-box RNA helicase gene in Arabidopsis enhances the plant's tolerance to salt stress via a unique pathway, distinct from typical salt stress responses.
  • - RNA-Sequencing revealed a total of 397 genes with altered expression levels in transgenic plants compared to wild type, with 286 genes upregulated and 111 downregulated.
  • - Analysis indicated that among the upregulated genes, nine key genes are particularly involved in stress responses and show increased expression under salt stress, suggesting a new mechanism for salt tolerance.
