Fields in which these advancements occur include targeted mutagenesis, conventional random mutagenesis, and developments with null segregants, e.g., crops from which transgenic elements have been crossed out. In this review, we describe the developments in these three fields and provide considerations concerning regulatory and safety aspects. Because of differences in legislation of modern biotechnology between countries or regions, regulatory challenges are to be expected given the ongoing developments in genomic crop techniques. Moreover, the nature of the mutations induced with these newly developed techniques is not different from those induced with conventional techniques, making the modified crop plants indistinguishable from non-modified counterparts of the same crop species. Thus, enforcement of regulations cannot solely rely on technical analytical methods. Also, potential off-target or unintended effects in the primary mutants remain underexplored. Yet, these do not raise safety concerns owing to the experience with the crop breeding practice of iterative cycles for desirable traits selection, as well as the segregation and discard of unwanted phenotypes. Given that regulation will always change after innovation and developments within the sector advance rapidly, we advocate that both authorities and the breeding sector pro-actively implement a food safety culture. Such a safety culture will help developers of genomic technologies in crops to identify potential food safety issues at an early stage of development of future products.","PeriodicalId":23258,"journal":{"name":"Transgenic Research","volume":"34 1","pages":"49"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2025-11-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12660440/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145640363","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here we report a robust and reproducible plastid transformation system tailored for Solanum nigrum (black nightshade), a significant vegetable and medicine plant within Solanaceous family. A S. nigrum-specific plastid vector, strategically designed for integration between the trnfM and trnG genes of the plastid genome, harbored the spectinomycin-resistance gene (aadA) as a selectable marker and green fluorescent protein (gfp) as a reporter gene. The vector was delivered via biolistic bombardment into leaf explants of S. nigrum, achieving an overall efficiency of approximately fifteen transplastomic events per shot. The site-specific integration of foreign genes and the establishment of a high homoplastomic state were verified through PCR assays and Southern blot analyses. Confocal laser scanning microscopy confirmed the presence of GFP fluorescence in chloroplasts, with GFP accumulation reaching about 2% of the total soluble protein in leaves. Crossing experiments between transplastomic plants and wild-type plants demonstrated the maternal inheritance of the S. nigrum plastid genome. The successful establishment of S. nigrum transplastomic technology holds promise for fostering novel synthetic biology applications within medicinal plant research.","PeriodicalId":23258,"journal":{"name":"Transgenic Research","volume":"34 1","pages":"48"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2025-11-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145564903","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although the DNA transposon Tol2 is widely used for transgenesis in zebrafish, its endogenous transpositional activity can lead to unintended transgene mobilization, making it unsuitable for transgenesis in medaka (Oryzias latipes). Here, we demonstrated that the DNA transposon Tip100, originally identified in the common morning glory (Ipomoea purpurea), an ornamental plant, can serve as a useful tool for transgenesis in Japanese medaka. The GFP transgene cassette, when co-injected with Tip100 transposase mRNA, was expressed in significantly higher number of somatic cells in the injected fish. Furthermore, a transgene flanked by truncated recognition sequences (100 bp each) exhibited expression levels comparable to those of the original vector containing the full 2.2 kb recognition sequence. Injection of a transgene driven by a germline-specific promoter revealed that fish injected with Tip100 mRNA exhibited a significantly higher germline transmission rate (42/68; 62.7%) compared to those injected without the mRNA (13/62; 21.0%). We successfully established transgenic strains by outcrossing injected founders with GFP-positive germ cells (7/7; 100%) and demonstrated that the transgenes were randomly integrated into the medaka genome, generating 8-bp duplications at the insertional sites-an insertional signature of the hAT superfamily of transposons. Our findings indicate that the Tip100 system is a promising tool for generating stable transgenic strains that express various genetic tools in medaka and potentially other fish species.","PeriodicalId":23258,"journal":{"name":"Transgenic Research","volume":"34 1","pages":"46"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2025-10-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12511174/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145259312","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In spite of exponential applications in plants for trait improvement, low editing efficiency in plants is a major concern. We report construction of a pCAMBIA2300 based binary vector cassette (pCR) harbouring novel recombinant CRISPR/Cas9 system for efficient genome editing in plants. The Cas9 cDNA with sequence encoding nuclear localization signals at the N-terminal and C-terminal ends had been codon optimized for better expression in plants. Undesirable internal restriction sites were removed. Small stretch of 5' UTR sequence of Rubisco small subunit (rcbS) of potato, harbouring in between potato granule bound starch synthase (GBSS) intron, was added at the 5' end of the Cas9 cDNA to function as 5' UTR. The recombinant Cas9 gene (rdCas9) was placed under the transcriptional control of CaMV 35S promoter and NOS terminator. The single guide RNA cassette (sgRNA) was comprised of Arabidopsis U6 promoter, 20-21 nucleotide (nt) spacer sequence, sgRNA scaffold sequence and potato U6 RNA Pol-III termination sequence. The 20-21 nt sgRNA spacer sequence could be added to the sgRNA construct by AarI or PaqCI digestion. The sgRNA construct had been designed in such a way so that single or multiplexed sgRNA could be cloned into the pCR vector cassette in a single step. Moreover, modular nature of this vector system can help to derive different combination of promoter, terminator with Cas9 and sgRNA constructs. The efficacy of the pCR vector system had been validated in Nicotiana tabacum and Solanum tuberosum by knocking out phytoene desaturase gene (PDS), through Agrobacterium-mediated transformation. The pCR binary vector system can be utilized as a versatile tool box for efficient genome editing of plant to improve agriculturally important traits.","PeriodicalId":23258,"journal":{"name":"Transgenic Research","volume":"34 1","pages":"45"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2025-10-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145252718","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Recent studies have uncovered significant variability in MHC I expression across tissues, challenging the traditional belief of uniform expression. Lung epithelial cells (LECs) express meager amounts of MHC I, which preserves the lung epithelium from excessive inflammation but renders it more susceptible to cancer and infection. Despite MHC I overexpression in various immunopathologies, its precise role in disease initiation or progression remains unclear due to the absence of suitable in vivo models for studying MHC I overexpression. This study introduces a novel mouse model with targeted surface MHC I upregulation. Leveraging a conditional Cre-lox system, we augmented Nlrc5 expression to specifically upregulate MHC I in alveolar type 2 (AT2) LECs, known for their low basal expression of MHC I and significant overexpression in disease. Our model demonstrated a rapid and sustained tenfold increase in MHC I surface expression persisting for up to a year without triggering pathology or inflammation. Comprehensive characterization and validation of this model indicated that MHC I overexpression does not serve as a primary initiator of respiratory diseases under steady-state conditions and shows a therapeutic window for increasing MHC I without significant damage to the lung epithelium. This adaptable model offers insights into the effects of tissue-specific MHC I regulation and presents new avenues for therapeutic development.","PeriodicalId":23258,"journal":{"name":"Transgenic Research","volume":"34 1","pages":"43"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2025-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145081572","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To better understand the implementation of GM crops beyond initial adoption, this study examines the factors influencing farmers' intention to continue adopting Bt brinjal. Using an extended expectation confirmation model, this study investigates how pre-adoption factors, such as performance and effort expectancies, influence the (dis)confirmation of expectations and how post-adoption factors, including perceived usefulness and satisfaction, shape farmers' intention to continue Bt brinjal adoption. Based on a structured survey with 151 Bt brinjal adopters, the proposed model was tested using partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM). Results reveal that pre-adoption performance and effort expectancies played a crucial role in shaping confirmation, which subsequently affected post-adoption perceived usefulness and satisfaction. Furthermore, satisfaction and perceived usefulness were key drivers of farmers' intentions to continue adopting Bt brinjal. The study contributes to the literature by integrating pre- and post-adoption constructs to explain continuance behavior and provides actionable insights for policymakers and stakeholders to enhance farmer satisfaction and long-term adoption of GM food crops.","PeriodicalId":23258,"journal":{"name":"Transgenic Research","volume":"34 1","pages":"41"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2025-09-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145058657","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

There is an increasing recognition of the interconnectedness of human and planetary health in food production and consumption. Several policy interventions exist to tackle food-related nutritional and environmental aspects and influence consumer decision-making towards nutritious and environmentally friendly options. Examples of demand-side interventions include food-based dietary guidelines (FBDGs), product labels, and taxes. In this contribution, a discussion of recent developments in demand-side interventions and their potential shortcomings highlights the need for different solutions. Advancing personalised dietary advice is an alternative to FBDGs and complementary to existing interventions, requiring a conceptual shift away from generic and population-based suggestions. Clustering and classification analysis of actual individual dietary patterns into citizen profiles is the first key step to developing relatable advice for each profile. For a transition toward plant-rich diets, this approach recognises (a) differentiated nutritional needs and deficiencies and (b) profile-sensitive 'starting points' for environmental impact reduction. In essence, while lowering the environmental impact, variability is incorporated at two levels: food choices among citizen profiles, obtained from the clustering and classification analysis, and nutritional adequacy for each profile. A first set of such citizen profiles has been reported for the Belgian population. We recommend further application of this approach in populations in other geographies. The next key steps towards developing relatable advice for the obtained citizen profiles demand that we start looking at the cultural consumption habits and strive for improved food literacy in our societies.","PeriodicalId":23258,"journal":{"name":"Transgenic Research","volume":"34 1","pages":"40"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2025-08-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144970467","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
