Efficient Regeneration of Transgenic Rice from Embryogenic Callus via -Mediated Transformation: A Case Study Using and Apple Genes.

Genetic transformation is a critical tool for gene manipulation and functional analyses in plants, enabling the exploration of key phenotypes and agronomic traits at the genetic level. While dicotyledonous plants offer various tissues for in vitro culture and transformation, monocotyledonous plants, such as rice, have limited options. This study presents an efficient method for genetically transforming rice ( L.

Introducing Promotes Heading Date and Produces Semi-Draft Phenotype in Rice.

Flowering time (in rice, termed the heading date), plant height, and grain number are crucial agronomic traits for rice productivity. The heading date is controlled via environmental factors (day length and temperature) and genetic factors (floral genes). encodes a protein that controls meristem identity and participates in regulating flowering.

The Anatomical Differences and Physiological Responses of Sunburned Satsuma Mandarin ( Marc.) Fruits.

Sunburn causes fruit browning and other physiological symptoms, reducing fruit production and quality. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the anatomical differences and abiotic stress responses in 'Nichinan 1 gou' satsuma mandarin ( Marc.) according to the severity of sunburn damage (five grades: control, no sunburn; I to IV, increasing severity of sunburn).

Antisense Expression of Apple -like Gene () Promotes Early Flowering and Causes Phenotypic Changes in Tobacco.

Apples ( Borkh.) require up to several years for flowering and bearing fruits. The transition from vegetative to reproductive phase is controlled by floral regulators such as and .

Modulation of Rice Leaf Angle and Grain Size by Expressing and under the Control of Promoter.

Leaf angle and grain size are important agronomic traits affecting rice productivity directly and/or indirectly through modulating crop architecture. OsBC1, as a typical bHLH transcription factor, is one of the components comprising a complex formed with LO9-177 and OsBUL1 contributing to modulation of rice leaf inclination and grain size. In the current study, two homologues of , and were functionally characterized by expressing them under the control of promoter, which is preferentially expressed in the lamina joint and the spikelet of rice.

Modified Atmosphere and Humidity Film Reduces Browning Susceptibility of Oriental Melon Suture Tissue during Cold Storage.

Oriental melons have a relatively short shelf life as they are harvested during the summer season and susceptible to cold-induced injuries. Typical chilling injury when stored at 4 °C is expressed as browning of the fruit suture. To prolong the shelf life and reduce browning of the fruit, the effects of modified atmosphere packaging (MAP), X-tend modified atmosphere (MA)/modified humidity (MH) bulk packaging (XF), and polyethylene (PE) packaging, on oriental melons were investigated during storage at 4 °C and 10 °C for 14 days and under retail display conditions at 20 °C.

Transcriptional changes of gibberellin oxidase genes in grapevines with or without gibberellin application during inflorescence development.

The concept that gibberellin (GA) application on seeded grapevines induces seedlessness has been known for decades in viticulture. GA was applied to inflorescence clusters of seeded diploid grapevine cultivar 'Tamnara' (Vitis spp.) at 14 days before full bloom (DBF).
