An effective method for -mediated transformation of L. using cotyledon explants.

Jatropha curcas is one of oilseed crops and has been considered as an energy crop. In the present study, efficient plant regeneration protocol and transformation method were developed for . Because the regeneration efficiency of adventitious bud from cotyledon explants of induced by traditional methods is low, and it takes a long time to get complete plants.

Overexpression of OsAGO1b Induces Adaxially Rolled Leaves by Affecting Leaf Abaxial Sclerenchymatous Cell Development in Rice.

Background: ARGONAUTE 1 (AGO1) proteins can recruit small RNAs to regulate gene expression, involving several growth and development processes in Arabidopsis. Rice genome contains four AGO1 genes, OsAGO1a to OsAGO1d. However, the regulatory functions to rice growth and development of each AGO1 gene are still unknown.
