Construction of an Efficient Genetic Transformation System for Watercress ( W. T. Aiton).

Based on the established efficient regeneration system for watercress in our laboratory, we optimized the processes of pretreatment, co-culture, and differentiation culture. Through GFP fluorescence and PCR identification, we successfully obtained transgenic watercress with the gene, which allowed us to investigate the distribution details of auxin in the growth process of watercress. Our findings provide an effective method for gene function research and lay the foundation for innovative utilization of germplasm resources of watercress.

Regulation of the trade-off between cold stress and growth by glutathione S-transferase phi class 10 (BcGSTF10) in non-heading Chinese cabbage.

Cold stress is a serious threat to global crop production and food security, but plant cold resistance is accompanied by reductions in growth and yield. In this study, we determined that the novel gene BcGSTF10 in non-heading Chinese cabbage [NHCC; Brassica campestris (syn. Brassica rapa) ssp.

Cloning and Functional Analysis of Gene Involved in Flavonoid Biosynthesis in Watercress ( R. Br.).

The gene belongs to the R2R3-MYB subfamily, which includes the genes. Although these genes have been shown to respond to heat and drought stresses, their role in flavonoid synthesis remains unclear. In this study, was cloned from watercress and its structure and function were analyzed.
