Article Synopsis
- Glutamate decarboxylase (GAD) is crucial for GABA metabolism and influences plant growth, stress responses, and hormone interactions; this study focused on GAD expression during early somatic embryogenesis in longan.
- Researchers identified 6 GAD genes in longan and found that they are closely related to those in dicot plants, with their promoters linked to hormone and stress responses.
- RNA-Seq and qRT-PCR showed high expression of GAD genes in early embryogenic cultures, particularly after treatment with growth regulators; overexpressing DlGAD5 enhanced GAD activity, indicating its role in hormone signaling and longan development.
Longan (Dimocarpus longan) is a precious subtropical fruit with high nutritional value. The somatic embryogenesis (SE) affects the quality and yield of fruit. Apart from clonal propagation, SE has extensive applications in genetic improvement and mutation.
