Peach (Prunus persica L. Batsch) is an economically important fruit in the Rosaceae family and is favored by consumers for its nutritional value. Genetic transformation is an important way to carry out genetic improvement of peaches and to conduct functional genomics studies. Although many...

Traditional transgenic detection methods require high test conditions and struggle to be both sensitive and efficient. In this study, a one-tube dual recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA) reaction system for CP4-EPSPS and Cry1Ab/Ac was proposed and combined with a lateral flow...

Valsa canker caused by Valsa mali, one of the major fungal diseases affecting the development of the apple industry in recent years, has led to serious reductions in the yield and quality of apples. HD-Zip transcription factors are a distinct class of transcription factors in higher plants involved ...

Agapanthus praecox ssp. orientalis is a famous summer-blooming perennial that produces hundreds of florets with blue or white tepal. In comparison, other colours are infrequent in the genus Agapanthus. Previous analysis revealed that delphinidin was the main but not the only anthocyanidin,...

Growth-regulating factors (GRFs), a small transcription factor family in plant, hold vital biological roles during developmental processes and plant responses. However, little is known about GRF genes in sweetpotato (Ipomoea batatas L.). Here, 10 IbGRFs were identified and cloned from the...

The role of GRF (Growth-regulating Factor) in regulating plant growth and development has been studied, but its potential role in regulating seed fertility remains unclear. PmGRF7 overexpression in tomatoes altered leaf morphology and pollen activity. Most importantly, genetically modified tomato...

Radish (Raphanus sativus L.) is recalcitrant to regeneration and genetic transformation, which has severely limited its gene function verification and germplasm innovation. To overcome the limitation, we have developed a rapid and stable regeneration and transformation of hairy roots in radish to...

The WUSCHEL-related homeobox (WOX) family genes are involved in cell division and differentiation throughout various stages of plant growth and development. Till now, the function of WOX genes in radish remains unclear. In this study, a total of 23 RsWOX genes were identified from the radish...

Waterlogging is becoming an increasingly significant problem for crop production and food security. As one of the largest transcription factor (TFs) families in plant crops, WRKYs are reported to be involved in various abiotic stress responses, including waterlogging resistance. However, little is...

The natural resistance-associated macrophage protein (Nramp) family comprises crucial membrane transport proteins that play vital roles in the transport and reuse of heavy metal ions in plants. Limited information is currently available on the Nramp family in blueberry (Vaccinium spp.; Vc)....
