Article Synopsis
- Cystathionine beta synthase (CBS) domains containing proteins (CDCPs) are crucial for plant development and stress responses, but a comprehensive study on wheat's CBS gene family and its connection to high-temperature male sterility is lacking.
- In this research, 66 CBS family members were identified in the wheat genome, categorized into four subgroups, and their distribution was found to be uneven across the 21 chromosomes.
- Analysis revealed significant associations of CBS genes with pollination and reproductive processes, along with evidence that certain genes play a critical role in anther development under heat stress, suggesting a link between CBS genes and male sterility in wheat.
The sugar transporter protein (STP) plays a crucial role in regulating plant growth and stress tolerance. We performed genome-wide identification and expression analysis of the STP gene family to investigate the STPSs' potential roles in the growth of wheat seedlings under stress. Here, a total of 81 TaSTP genes containing the Sugar_tr conserved motif were identified within the wheat genome.

In the present study, a chi gene from Trichoderma asperellum, designated Tachi, was cloned and functionally characterized in soybean. Firstly, the effects of sodium thiosulfate on soybean Agrobacterium-mediated genetic transformation with embryonic tip regeneration system were investigated. The transformation frequency was improved by adding sodium thiosulfate in co-culture medium for three soybean genotypes.
