However, there is limited research on the stress tolerance functions of DHAR genes in sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas [L.] Lam). In this study, the full-length IbDHAR1 gene was cloned from the leaves of sweet potato cultivar Xu 18. The IbDHAR1 protein is speculated to be located in both the cytoplasm and the nucleus. As revealed by qRT-PCR, the relative expression level of IbDHAR1 in the proximal storage roots was much greater than in the other tissues, and could be upregulated by high-temperature, salinity, drought, and abscisic acid (ABA) stress. The results of pot experiments indicated that under high salinity and drought stress conditions, transgenic Arabidopsis and sweet potato plants exhibited decreases in H2O2 and MDA levels. Conversely, the levels of antioxidant enzymes APX, SOD, POD, and ACT, and the content of DHAR increased. Additionally, the ratio of AsA/DHA was greater in transgenic lines than in the wild type. The results showed that overexpression of IbDHAR1 intensified the ascorbic acid-glutathione cycle (AsA-GSH) and promoted the activity of the related antioxidant enzyme systems to improve plant stress tolerance and productivity.","PeriodicalId":23258,"journal":{"name":"Transgenic Research","volume":" ","pages":"427-443"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2024-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142155038","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}

Following short-term doxycycline intake during the telogen resting phase, the adult K5: CAT bigenic develops enlarged pilosebaceous units that expand deep into the dermis, an expansion usually observed during the anagen growth phase. Prolonged doxycycline treatment results in significant thickening and folding of the K5: CAT epidermis. During this persistent induction period, there is clear evidence of increased keratinocyte proliferation, particularly in the epidermal basal cell layer and the outer root sheath of the hair follicle. This unscheduled increase in cellular proliferation likely explains the decrease in hair density observed in the K5: CAT mouse following persistent doxycycline intake. Numerous hyperplastic endometrioid cysts, which display cornification toward their lumens, are also observed during this treatment period. Remarkably, de-induction of ΔN89 β-catenin expression through doxycycline withdrawal results in a marked reversal of the skin phenotype, suggesting that these morphological changes are dependent on continued signaling by β-catenin and/or its downstream molecular mediators. Joining a small group of mouse models for conditional β-catenin signaling, our K5: CAT mouse model will be particularly useful in identifying those molecular mediators of β-catenin that are responsible for initiating and maintaining these phenotypic responses in the K5: CAT skin. Such studies are predicted to shed more light on β-catenin signaling in epidermal epithelial morphogenesis, hair follicle cycling, and hair growth pathologies.","PeriodicalId":23258,"journal":{"name":"Transgenic Research","volume":" ","pages":"513-525"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2024-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11588969/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141898312","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}

They also often derive plant nutrients from other sources, such as extrafloral nectaries and honeydew. In a few cases, the plant-mosquito relationship is close, and mosquito pollination has been confirmed. Most plant species visited by mosquitoes, however, appear to depend on multiple means of pollination, particularly other flower-feeding insects. In addition, most mosquito species visit the flowers of many kinds of plants, possibly dispersing pollen in both biologically meaningful and irrelevant ways. This apparent lack of selectivity by both plants and mosquitoes liberates each of them from dependence on an unreliable pollen vehicle or nutrient source. A hypothetical pollinating role for the two top vectors of devastating human-disease pathogens, Anopheles gambiae or Aedes aegypti, relies on indirect evidence. So far, this evidence suggests that their participation in pollen transfer of native, introduced, or beneficial plants is negligible. The few plant species likely to be pollinated by these vectors are mostly invasive, harmful weeds associated with humans. That conclusion draws support from four characteristics of these vectors: (1) the numerous alternative potential pollinators of the flowers they visit; (2) their common use of diverse non-floral sources of nutrients; (3) the females' infrequent sugar feeding and heavy reliance on human blood for energy; and (4) their relatively low population densities. From these traits it follows that focused suppression or elimination of these two vectors, by whatever means, is highly unlikely to have adverse effects on pollination in endemic biotic communities or on ornamental plants or food crops.","PeriodicalId":23258,"journal":{"name":"Transgenic Research","volume":" ","pages":"297-322"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2024-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11588815/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142018707","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}

According to ISAAA data, the use of GM crops in agriculture has also increased significantly in the past 30 years. However, even after 3 decades of commercialisation, GM crops are still surrounded with controversies with different countries adopting varying approaches to their introduction in the consumer markets, owing to different stances of various stakeholders. Motivated by this multitude of opinions, and absence of knowledge mapping, this study has undertaken scientometric analysis of the publication (Web of Science) and patent (Lens.org) data about genetically modified technology use in agriculture to explore the changing knowledge patterns and technological advancements in the area. It explores both scientific and technological perspectives regarding the use of Genetically Modified Crops, by using publication as well as patent data. The findings of this study highlight the major domains of research, technology development, and leading actors in the ecosystem. These findings can be helpful in taking effective policy decisions, and furthering the research activities. It presents a composite picture using both publications and patent data. Further, it will be of utility to explore the other technologies which are replacing GM technology in agriculture in future studies.","PeriodicalId":23258,"journal":{"name":"Transgenic Research","volume":"49 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142267168","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 understand the function of Il4ra in this tumor initiation phase of RMS, we conditionally deleted Il4ra in genetically-engineered RMS mouse models. Nullizygosity of Il4ra altered the latency, site and/or stage distribution of RMS tumors compared to IL4RA intact models. Primary tumor cell cultures taken from the genetically-engineered models then used in orthotopic allografts further defined the interaction of satellite cells and RMS tumor cells in the context of tumor initiation: in alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma (ARMS), satellite cell co-injection was necessary for Il4ra null tumor cells engraftment, whereas in embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma (ERMS), satellite cell co-injection decreased latency of engraftment of Il4ra wildtype tumor cells but not Il4ra null tumor cells. When refocusing on Il4ra wildtype tumors by single cell sequencing and cytokine studies, we have uncovered a putative signaling interplay of Il4 from T-lymphocytes being received by Il4ra + rhabdomyosarcoma tumor cells, which in turn express Ccl2, the ligand for Ccr2 and Ccr5. Taken together, these results suggest that mutations imposed during tumor initiation have different effects than genetic or therapeutic intervention imposed once tumors are already formed.

Once infected, the interaction between pathogen effector molecules and host receptors triggers plant immune responses, which include apoptosis, systemic immune response, among others. An important protein family responsible for pathogen effector recognition is the nucleotide binding site-leucine repeat rich (NBS-LRR) proteins. The NBS-LRR gene family is the largest disease resistance gene class in plants. These proteins are widely distributed in vascular plants and have a complex multigenic cluster distribution in plant genomes. To counteract the genetic load of such a large gene family on fitness cost, plants evolved a mechanism using post transcriptional gene silencing induced by small RNAs, particularly microRNAs. For the NBS-LRR gene family, the small RNAs involved in this silencing mechanism are mainly the microRNA482/2118 superfamily. This suppression mechanism is relieved upon pathogen infection, thus allowing increased NBS-LRR expression and triggering plant immunity. In this review, we will discuss the biogenesis of microRNAs and secondary RNAs involved in this silencing mechanism, biochemical and structural features of NBS-LRR proteins in response to pathogen effectors and the evolution of microRNA-based silencing mechanism with a focus on the miR482/2118 family. Furthermore, the biotechnological manipulation of microRNA expression, using both transgenic or genome editing approaches to improve cultivated plants will be discussed, with a focus on the miR482/2118 family in soybean.","PeriodicalId":23258,"journal":{"name":"Transgenic Research","volume":" ","pages":"159-174"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2024-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141296761","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}
