Xeroderma pigmentosum group C (XPC) is a versatile protein crucial for sensing DNA damage in the global genome nucleotide excision repair (GG-NER) pathway. This pathway is vital for mammalian cells, acting as their essential approach for repairing DNA lesions stemming from interactions with environmental factors, such as exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun. Loss-of-function mutations in the XPC gene confer a photosensitive phenotype in XP-C patients, resulting in the accumulation of unrepaired UV-induced DNA damage.

Gene targeting (GT) is a powerful tool for manipulating endogenous genomic sequences as intended. However, its efficiency is rather low, especially in seed plants. Numerous attempts have been made to improve the efficiency of GT via the CRISPR/Cas systems in plants, but these have not been sufficiently effective to be used routinely by everyone.

The establishment of reliable and efficient systems for genome editing in Phytophthora is very important for studying gene functions. Here, step-by-step methods for CRISPR/Cas9-based gene knockout and in situ complementation for Phytophthora sojae are presented. These steps include the sgRNA design, Cas9-sgRNA plasmid construction, homologous replacement, complementation vector construction, P.

The shift from vegetative to reproductive growth is an important developmental transition that affects flowering and maturation, architecture, and ecological adaptability in plants. The florigen-antiflorigen system universally controls flowering and plant architecture, and changes to the ratio of these components alter this transition and disrupt growth. The genes FT (FLOWERING LOCUS T), encoding the florigen protein FT, and CETS [CENTRORADIALIS (CEN)/TERMINAL FLOWER1 (TFL1)/SELF-PRUNING (SP)], encoding antiflorigen proteins, have opposing roles.
