Article Abstract
Improved plants are necessary to meet human needs. Agrobacterium-mediated transformation is the most common method used to rewire plant capabilities. For plant gene delivery, DNA constructs are assembled into binary T-DNA vectors that rely on broad host range origins for bacterial replication. Here we present pLX vectors, a set of mini binary T-DNA plasmids suitable for Type IIS restriction endonuclease- and overlap-based assembly methods. pLX vectors include replicons from compatible broad host range plasmids. Simultaneous usage of pBBR1- and RK2-based pLX vectors in a two-plasmid/one-Agrobacterium strain strategy allowed multigene delivery to plants. Adoption of pLX vectors will facilitate routine plant transformations and targeted mutagenesis, as well as complex part and circuit characterization.

Seagrasses are a polyphyletic group of marine flowering plants that play crucial roles in nearshore ecology, yet their interactions with viruses remain largely unexplored. This study presents the construction and characterization of an infectious cDNA clone of the potexvirus turtle grass virus X (TGVX). The complete genome of this positive-sense single-stranded RNA virus was amplified from field samples of and assembled into a pLX-based mini binary vector using a multi-fragment directional cloning strategy, resulting in the infectious clone pLX-TGVX.

Article Synopsis
- Viral vectors are being explored as effective tools for delivering CRISPR-Cas components to edit plant genomes.
- The protocol involves assembling viral vectors specifically for delivering single-guide RNA (sgRNA) using compact T-DNA binary vectors, which are then introduced into Cas9-expressing plants through a technique called agroinoculation.
- This method facilitates rapid evaluation of sgRNA designs and enables the recovery of offspring with heritable mutations in targeted genetic locations.

Infectious clone technology is universally applied for biological characterization and engineering of viruses. This protocol describes procedures that implement synthetic biology advances for streamlined assembly of virus infectious clones. Here, I detail homology-based cloning using biological material, as well as SynViP assembly using type IIS restriction enzymes and chemically synthesized DNA fragments.

Article Synopsis
- JoinTRV is an advanced vector system derived from tobacco rattle virus (TRV), designed to simplify the processes of gene silencing and genome editing in plants.
- It utilizes two mini T-DNA vectors that allow simultaneous transformation and delivery into a single Agrobacterium cell, making it much more efficient and compact than previous systems.
- The system has proven effective in Nicotiana benthamiana, achieving high editing efficiencies with CRISPR/Cas components and resulting in a significant percentage of progeny expressing desired genetic mutations.
Transduction of an SV40-Immortalized Normal Human Thyroid Cell Line Induces Dedifferentiated Thyroid Carcinogenesis in a Mouse Xenograft Model.

Despite active studies of the clinical importance of BRAF, suitable research models to investigate the role of this mutation in the etiopathogenesis of human thyroid cancers are limited. Thus, we generated cell lines by transducing the simian virus (SV)-40 immortalized human thyroid cell line Nthy-ori 3-1 (Nthy) with lentiviral vectors expressing either (Nthy/WT) or . Nthy/WT and Nthy/V600E cells were then xenografted into mice to evaluate the carcinogenic role of BRAF.
