Purpose: To detect the exogenous gene copy number of the transgenic tomato anti-caries vaccine by using the SYBR Green real-time PCR.
Methods: Recombinant plasmid pEAC10 and pEPC10 were used as standard to detect genome samples of exogenous gene pacA-ctxB and pacP-ctxB by SYBR green fluorescent quantitation, then the average value was calculated as gene copy number.
Results: The copy number of the transgenic tomato carrying pacA-ctxB was 1.3 and the pacP-ctxB was 3.2.
Conclusions: The transgenic tomato plants which have high stability are low-copy transgenic plants.

Fruit cuticles control water and gas diffusion and protect against biotic and environmental stresses. The cuticle is built from the cutin polymer-a composite of C16 and C18 ω-hydroxy fatty acids that are linked via ester bonds, embedded polysaccharides and phenolics-as well as waxes made primarily from very-long-chain fatty acids that are deposited on the cuticle and incorporated within the cutin matrix. Considerable progress toward understanding fruit cuticle function has been achieved in recent years, but knowledge gaps remain regarding the biosynthesis and assembly of the cuticular constituents and how these processes are linked to the cuticle's macromolecular architecture and nanomechanical properties.

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play vital roles in signal transduction and plant development. However, how lncRNA expression might have been globally altered during Solanum lycopersicum (tomato) breeding and what potential roles they play in regulating metabolite accumulation in fruit remain unclear. Here, we identified 15,548 lncRNAs using RNA-sequencing data from 404 tomato accessions.

Manipulating the expression of flowering pathway genes holds potential for regulating tomato fruit productivity. () is a MADS-box gene that serves as a key integrator in the flowering pathway. In this study, two full-length genes cloned from maize () and soybean (), along with a partial gene from blueberry (, containing the K-domain), were individually transformed into tomato for constitutive expression.

Drought and cold stress have profound effects on crop growth and development, reducing quality and commercial production. MYB transcription factors play important roles in regulating plant responses to abiotic stresses. However, the specific functions of numerous R2R3-MYB type transcription factors in mediating abiotic stress tolerance remain to be fully elucidated.

Background: Plant experience exposure to short term low temperature during early spring. In response, it activates various mechanisms to cope with the changing environment. This response involves in the regulation of related genes and hormones, increase signaling cross-talks, antioxidants and osmolytes accumulation to protect the plant from damage.
