Article Abstract

mediated method was used to transform Indian elite wheat genotype HD2894 with herbicide-tolerant - (5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate synthase) gene. The apical meristems of germinated seeds were targeted for introgression of transgene. The obtained T plants were screened by spraying 1% glyphosate and only positive transformants survived. The presence of transgene was also confirmed by PCR and Southern hybridization. Using this method, 3.07% transformation rate was observed. To identify transgenic lines carrying stably integrated - gene, the transgenic populations were screened in T generation using 1% glyphosate and lines with 100% survival were considered as homozygous. No significant morpho-physiological variations were observed within the transgenic lines as compared to non-transgenic plants. The present study resulted in herbicide-tolerant transgenic wheat and provides a valuable tool for development of wheat genetic transformation.

Identification of a carotenoid cleavage dioxygenase gene TeCCD4a regulating flower color and carotenoid content of marigold.

Gene

September 2025

National Key Laboratory for Germplasm Innovation & Utilization of Horticultural Crops, College of Horticulture and Forestry Sciences, Huazhong Agricultural University, Wuhan 430070, China. Electronic address:

Marigold (Tagetes erecta) serves as both an ornamental and economically significant species, owing to its diverse floral coloration and exceptionally high petal carotenoid content. Carotenoid cleavage dioxygenase (CCD), as the key enzymatic component, mediates the carotenoid degradation process. In this study, we cloned and functionally characterized a CCD4 gene to elucidate its regulatory function in petal color and carotenoid biosynthesis.

Cadmium (Cd) is a heavy metal that exhibits strong carcinogenic properties and promotes breast cancer (BC) progression. Autophagic flux dysfunction is involved in Cd-induced BC progression, but the underlying molecular mechanisms remain unclear. Here, it is observed that impaired autophagic flux and metabolic reprogramming are notable features related to Cd-induced proliferation, migration, and invasion in BC cell lines, including T-47D and MCF-7 cells.

Total ginsenosides enhance γ-globin expression and fetal hemoglobin production in β-thalassemia models.

Department of Medical Genetics, NHC Key Laboratory of Healthy Birth and Birth Defect Prevention in Western China, The First People's Hospital of Yunnan Province, Kunming, China.

Introduction: β-thalassemia is a genetic hemoglobinopathy characterized by defective β-globin synthesis and ineffective erythropoiesis. Pharmacological induction of fetal hemoglobin (HbF) via γ-globin gene activation represents a promising therapeutic strategy. Total ginsenosides (TG), the principal active constituents of , have shown epigenetic and transcriptional modulatory properties, yet their role in HbF induction remains unexplored.

Just as Gregor Mendel's laws of inheritance laid the foundation for modern genetics, the emergence of Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats (CRISPR)/Cas systems has catalyzed a new era in precision genome engineering. CRISPR/Cas has revolutionized rice ( L.) breeding by enabling precise, transgene-free edits to improve yield, nutrition, and stress tolerance.
