The rol genes are part of the T-DNA which is transferred by Agrobacterium rhizogenes in plant cells, causing neoplastic growth and differentiation. Each of these bacterial oncogenes deeply influences plant development and is finely regulated once transferred into the plant host. Both from the study of the effects and biochemical function of the rol genes and from the analysis of their regulation, important insight in plant development can be derived. Some of the most intriguing aspects of past, current and future research on this gene system are highlighted and discussed.

Vitamin A (all-trans-retinol; at-Rol) and its derivatives, known as retinoids, have been adopted by vertebrates to serve as visual chromophores and signaling molecules, particularly in the eye/retina. Few tissues rely on retinoids as heavily as the retina, and the study of genetically modified mouse models with deficiencies in specific retinoid-metabolizing proteins has allowed us to gain insight into the unique or redundant roles of these proteins in at-Rol uptake and storage, or their downstream roles in retinal development and function. These processes occur during embryogenesis and continue throughout life.

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.

Schizophrenia is a severe mental illness, the etiology and pathogenesis of which are significantly contributed by hereditary factors. Genome-wide association analysis shows that the majority of genetic variants associated with a high risk of schizophrenia are located in regulatory regions of genes. In this brief review, data on the overall structure of the major regulatory regions of genes are summarized.

Article Synopsis
- Researchers engineered transgenic lines of Cape daisy (Osteospermum fruticosum Norl.) using Rhizobium rhizogenes to develop a compact plant phenotype, reducing the need for chemical growth regulators.
- A method was established for analyzing genetic characteristics, revealing significant variation in the number of oncogenic rol genes and auxin biosynthesis genes in the transgenic lines, with copy numbers ranging from 1 to over 15.
- Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization (FISH) was used to visualize genetic insertions, confirming that specific gene copies could be tracked in subsequent generations, which aids in predicting the breeding value of these lines.

The bidirectional relationship between cerebral structures and the gastrointestinal tract involving the microbiota embraces the scientific concept of the microbiota-gut-brain axis. The gut microbiome plays an important role in many physiological and biochemical processes of the human body, in the immune response and maintenance of homeostasis, as well as in the regulation of circadian rhythms. There is a relationship between the higher prevalence of a number of neurological disorders, sleep disorders and changes in the intestinal microbiota, which actualizes the study of the complex mechanisms of such correlation for the development of new treatment and prevention strategies.
