Article Synopsis
- Different varieties of crop plants, like Brassica oleracea, can vary in how easily they can be genetically engineered, complicating the introduction of new genes.
- Researchers used Substitution Lines to precisely map three Quantitative Trait Loci (tf1, tf2, tf3) that account for 26% of this variation in transformation efficiency.
- Their findings indicate that while tf1 doesn't significantly impact transgene expression, tf2 and tf3 do, and that these loci can help in selecting better parent plants for more effective genetic transformation.
