Recently, more research about the plant bioreactor expressing genes encoding human proteins was reported. In the present study, the cDNA of the human gene keratinocyte growth factor 2 (KGF2) was replaced with plant preferred codons by PCR, and the modified full-length cDNA was cloned into the plant expression vector pCAMBIA-YO containing the oil-body promoter. The fusion construct pCAMBIA-YO-KGF2 was transformed into Brassica napus by Agrobacterium tumefacien-mediated cotyledon transformation method. The transgenic seedlings were identified by PCR, Southern and western blot analysis all showed that KGF2 gene was successfully expressed in in transgenic Brassica napus.

Glyphosate (Gly) is a widely used herbicide for weed control in agriculture, but it can also adversely affect crops by impairing growth, reducing yield, and disrupting nutrient uptake, while inducing toxicity. Therefore, adopting integrated eco-friendly approaches and understanding the mechanisms of glyphosate tolerance in plants is crucial, as these areas remain underexplored. This study provides proteome insights into Si-mediated improvement of Gly-toxicity tolerance in Brassica napus.

Background: Organic fertilizers are safer and more eco-friendly than chemical fertilizers; hence, organic fertilizers can be used to support sustainable farming. The effects of PGPRs are manifold in agriculture, especially in monoculture crops, where the soil needs to be modified to increase germination, yield, and disease resistance. The objective of this study was to assess the effects of PGPRs combined with fertilizer on the yield and productivity of canola.
