To study the influence of genetic background on the transformation and regeneration of cultivated tomato plants, hairy root lines of tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum) were obtained by inoculating the hypocotyl explants of three tomato cultivars with the Agrobacterium rhizogenes strain DCAR-2, which harbors the pBI-121 binary vector. The Ri-T-DNA transformation into the plant DNA was confirmed by both of mikimopine and GUS assay analyses. The regeneration efficiency from hairy root explants was assessed. The data indicated that white embryonic calli were formed within two weeks in the presence of 2 mgl(-1) 2, 4-D plus 0.25 mgl(-1) kinetin. Adventitious shoots emerged from the embryonic callus in the presence of 1 mgl(-1) GA3 along with 0.5 mgl(-1) NAA. The regeneration frequency was higher in the cultivar UC-97, followed by Momotaro and then Edkawi. Molecular confirmation of the integration of the GUS gene into the hairy root-derived plants genomes was done via PCR using GUS-specific primers and also using Southern blotting analysis. Our data shows that regeneration is possible from hairy roots of the cultivated tomato and this system could be used to produce transgenic tomato plants expressing the genes present in Agrobacterium rhizogenes binary vectors.

Hairy vetch ( Roth), a leguminous plant with nitrogen-fixing ability, is used as a cover crop and has the potential to suppress weeds and plant diseases. The microbial composition, particularly fungal endophytes, which may be related to the beneficial functions of this crop, has not been previously studied. In this study, we analyzed the diversity and function of culturable fungal endophytes associated with hairy vetch from eight locations across Japan.

The most damaging disease affecting citrus globally is Huanglongbing (HLB), primarily attributed to the infection by ' asiaticus' (Las). Based on comparative transcriptome data, two cellulose synthase (CESA) genes responsive to Las infection induction were screened, and one gene cloned with higher differential expression level was selected and named . we verified the interaction between CsCESA1 and citrus exopolysaccharide 2 (CsEPS2) proteins.

Long-term cultured calli may experience a biosynthetic shift due to the IAA-dependent expression of the rolA gene, which also affects ROS metabolism. The "hairy root" syndrome is caused by the root-inducing Ri-plasmid of Rhizobium rhizogenes, also known as Agrobacterium rhizogenes. The Ri-plasmid contains genes known as rol genes or root oncogenic loci, which promote root development.

Article Synopsis
- The dQTG.seq model helped identify 100 marker sites related to the phenotypic plasticity of soybean isoflavone content, including 27 transcription factors crucial for this trait.
- Overexpression of the GmERF7 gene under stressful conditions (like low temperature, salt, and drought) confirmed its key role in regulating isoflavone levels in soybeans.
- The study highlights how environmental factors affect isoflavone content in different soybean varieties, emphasizing the importance of GmERF7 in helping soybeans adapt to stressful environments through increased phenotypic plasticity.
