TL;DR: Findings suggest that OsDEX1 plays a fundamental role in the development of tapetal cells and pollen formation, possibly via modulating the Ca2+ homeostasis during pollen development.

TL;DR: Qualitative PCR and TaqMan real-time quantitative PCR methods to detect and identify three varieties of insect resistant cotton, i.e., Mon531 cotton and GK19 and SGK321 cottons, which were approved for commercialization in China, were developed.

TL;DR: To further test the feasibility of this HMG-I/Y gene as an endogenous reference gene, samples containing transgenic rapeseed GT73 with the inserted glyphosate oxidoreductase (GOX) gene were quantitated and demonstrated that the endogenous PCR detection systems were applicable to the qualitative and quantitative detection of transgenic rapist.

TL;DR: The first attempts have been made to use new generation sequencing also for quantitative purposes, although accurate quantification of the contents of GMOs using this technology is still a challenge for the future, and especially for mixed samples.

TL;DR: Dysfunction of OsGPAT3 leads to disrupted anther lipid metabolism and male sterility in rice and the need for further research to understand the mechanism behind this phenomenon.
