New Advances in the Study of Regulation of Tomato Flowering-Related Genes Using Biotechnological Approaches.

The tomato is a convenient object for studying reproductive processes, which has become a classic. Such complex processes as flowering and fruit setting require an understanding of the fundamental principles of molecular interaction, the structures of genes and proteins, the construction of signaling pathways for transcription regulation, including the synchronous actions of -regulatory elements (promoter and enhancer), trans-regulatory elements (transcription factors and regulatory RNAs), and transposable elements and epigenetic regulators (DNA methylation and acetylation, chromatin structure). Here, we discuss the current state of research on tomatoes (2017-2023) devoted to studying the function of genes that regulate flowering and signal regulation systems using genome-editing technologies, RNA interference gene silencing, and gene overexpression, including heterologous expression.

CRISPR/Cas9-mediated мultiplexed multi-allelic mutagenesis of genes located on A, B and R subgenomes of hexaploid triticale.

The first-time generation of hexaploid triticale plants harbouring variable panels of novel mutations in gene families involved in starch biosynthesis has been achieved by the subgenome-independent multiplexed CRISPR/Cas9-mediated editing.

Recent Advances in Studying the Regulation of Fruit Ripening in Tomato Using Genetic Engineering Approaches.

Tomato ( L.) is one of the most commercially essential vegetable crops cultivated worldwide. In addition to the nutritional value, tomato is an excellent model for studying climacteric fruits' ripening processes.

Effect of Gene Silencing of Translation Initiation Factors eIF(iso)4G and eIF(iso)4E on Sour Cherry Rootstock Resistance to Sharka Disease.

Sharka disease, caused by the (PPV), is one of the most harmful, quarantine viral diseases that affect stone fruit crops. The absence of natural resistance to the virus in stone fruits has become a decisive factor for the use of genetic transformation methods to obtain stable forms. The and genes encode translation initiation factors used in the PPV life cycle.

CRISPR/Cas9-induced modification of the conservative promoter region of alters the heading time of hexaploid bread wheat.

In cereals, the vernalization-related gene network plays an important role in regulating the transition from the vegetative to the reproductive phase to ensure optimal reproduction in a temperate climate. In hexaploid bread wheat ( L.), the spring growth habit is associated with the presence of at least one dominant locus of gene (), which usually differs from recessive alleles due to mutations in the regulatory sequences of the promoter or/and the first intron.
