Understanding gene function is important for crop improvement and breeding efforts, especially in a genetically complex polyploid plant species such as the octoploid strawberry. -mediated transient assays are a widely used tool for investigating gene functions and offer a reliable alternative to stable transformation. However, variability in tissue-specific responses and inconsistent applicability of -mediated transient assay across diverse plant species can be challenging. In this study, we provide a method utilizing -mediated transient expression to examine the function of genes in octoploid strawberry. Our approach encompasses leaf, root, and fruit tissues, providing a comprehensive strategy for validating gene functions in strawberries. Through meticulous optimization and validation in planta, this method offers valuable insights into gene function in strawberry functional genomics and genetics research. By addressing tissue-specific variability, our methodology serves as a valuable technical resource that could facilitate advancements in identifying gene functions in octoploid strawberry.

Light plays an important role in determining the L-ascorbate (AsA) pool size in plants, primarily through the transcriptional regulation of AsA metabolism-related genes. However, the specific mechanism of transcriptional induction responsible for light-dependent AsA biosynthesis remains unclear. In this study, we used a promoter sequence containing light-responsive motifs from GDP-L-galactose phosphorylase 2 (RrGGP2), a key gene involved in AsA overproduction in Rosa roxburghii fruits, to identify participating transcription factors.

Cell-free DNA (cfDNA) is present in healthy individuals but is elevated in those undergoing physical exertion, trauma, sepsis, and certain cancers. Maintaining cfDNA concentrations is vital for immune homeostasis and preventing inflammatory responses. Understanding cfDNA release and clearance is essential for using cfDNA as a biomarker in clinical diagnostics.

Transient receptor potential vanilloid (TRPV) 4 is involved in signaling pathways specifically mediating pain and inflammation, making it a promising target for the treatment of various painful and inflammatory conditions. However, only one drug candidate targeting TRPV4 has entered the clinical trials. To identify potential TRPV4 inhibitors for drug development, we screened a library of ion channel-modulating compounds using both structure- and ligand-based virtual screening approaches.

Voltage-gated Na+ (Nav) channels are the primary determinants of the action potential in excitable cells. Nav channels rely on a wide and diverse array of intracellular protein-protein interactions (PPIs) to achieve their full function. Glycogen synthase kinase 3 β (GSK3β) has been previously identified as a modulator of Nav1.
