Generation of New β-Conglycinin-Deficient Soybean Lines by Editing the lincRNA Using the CRISPR/Cas9 System.

Soybean β-conglycinin is a major allergen that adversely affects the nutritional properties of soybean. Soybean deficient in β-conglycinin is associated with low allergenicity and high nutritional value. Long intergenic noncoding RNAs (lincRNAs) regulate gene expression and are considered important regulators of essential biological processes.

CRISPR-Cas9-mediated editing of GmARM improves resistance to multiple stresses in soybean.

The growth and development of soybean plants can be affected by both abiotic and biotic stressors, such as saline-alkali stress and Phytophthora root rot. In this study, we identified a stress-related gene-GmARM-whose promoter contained several hormone-response and stress-regulatory elements, including ABRE, TCA element, STRE, and MBS. qRT-PCR analysis showed that the expression of GmARM was the highest in seeds at 55 days after flowering.

Cloning and expression analysis of GATA1 gene in Carassius auratus red var.

Background: GATA1 is a key transcription factor in the GATA family, and promotes the differentiation and maturation of red blood cell, which is essential for normal hematopoiesis.

Results: Our results showed that the cDNA sequence of GATA1 was 2730 bp long encoding 443 amino acids. qRT-PCR analysis demonstrated that GATA1 had the highest expression in testis (T), followed by pituitary (P) and spleen (S).
