Drought-tolerant rice germplasm developed from an Oryza officinalis transformation-competent artificial chromosome clone

R. Liu, Zhang, H. H., Chen, Z. X., Shahid, M. Q., Fu, X. L., and Liu, X. D., Drought-tolerant rice germplasm developed from an Oryza officinalis transformation-competent artificial chromosome clone, vol. 14, pp. 13667-13678, 2015.

Oryza officinalis has proven to be a natural gene reservoir for the improvement of domesticated rice as it carries many desirable traits; however, the transfer of elite genes to cultivated rice by conventional hybridization has been a challenge for rice breeders. In this study, the conserved sequence of plant stress-related NAC transcription factors was selected as a probe to screen the O.

Overexpression of the CmACS-3 gene in melon causes abnormal pollen development

H. Zhang and Luan, F., Overexpression of the CmACS-3 gene in melon causes abnormal pollen development, vol. 14, pp. 10433-10443, 2015.

Sexual diversity expressed by the Curcurbitaceae family is a primary example of developmental plasticity in plants. Most melon genotypes are andromonoecious, where an initial phase of male flowers is followed by a mixture of bisexual and male flowers. Over-expression of the CmACS-3 gene in melon plants showed an increased number of flower buds, and increased femaleness as demonstrated by a larger number bisexual buds.
