Abstract-A transfer DNA (T-DNA) carrying the marker gene nptII was detected in the genomes of diploid and haploid maize plants obtained after the treatment of pistil filaments with a suspension of Agrobacterium during artificial pollination. PCR analysis of total DNA isolated from 155 canamycin-resistant diploid F1 seedlings revealed T-DNA insertions in the genomes of 111 plants (32.7% of the total number of analyzed seeds). The example of matroclinal haploids was used to demonstrate that T-DNA may be transported to the egg cell by the growing pollen tube (PT). Twelve out of 16 analyzed haploid plants contained the T-DNA insertion. The possible mechanism of the transfer of the Agrobacterium T-DNA to the maize genome during pollination is discussed.

Lotus japonicus-ROOT HAIR LESS1-LIKE1 (LRL1) of Arabidopsis thaliana encodes a basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factor (TF) involved in root hair development. Root hair development is regulated by an elaborate transcriptional network, in which GLABRA2 (GL2), a key negative regulator, directly represses bHLH TF genes, including LRL1 and ROOT HAIR DEFECTIVE6 (RHD6). Although RHD6 and its paralogous TFs have been shown to connect downstream to genes involved in cell morphological events such as endomembrane and cell wall modification, the network downstream of LRL1 remains elusive.

, the grey mould fungus affecting over 1400 plant species, employs infection cushion (IC), a branched and claw-like structure formed by mycelia, as a critical strategy to breach host surface barriers. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying IC formation remain largely unexplored. In this study, we utilized a forward genetics approach to establish a large T-DNA tagged population of , which contained 14,000 transformants.

Argonaute (AGO) proteins are involved in gene expression and genome integrity during biotic and abiotic stress responses. AGO2 mediates double-strand break (DSB) repair in DNA damage response (DDR) induced by genotoxic stress. However, beyond DSB repair, the involvement of AGO proteins in DDR remains unknown.

Precise gene-editing methods are valuable tools to enhance genetic traits. Gene editing is commonly achieved via stable integration of a gene-editing cassette in the plant's genome. However, this technique is unfavorable for field applications, especially in vegetatively propagated plants, such as many commercial tree species, where the gene-editing cassette cannot be segregated away without breaking the genetic constitution of the elite variety.

The clear molecular characterization of genetically modified (GM) plants and animals is a prerequisite for obtaining regulatory approval and safety certification for commercial cultivation. This characterization includes the identification of the transferred DNA (T-DNA) insertion site, its flanking sequences, the copy number of inserted genes, and the detection of any unintended genomic alterations accompanying the transformation process. In this study, we performed a comprehensive molecular characterization of the well-known GM soybean event FG72 using paired-end whole-genome sequencing (PE-WGS).
