Journal ArticleDOI
Targeted genome modifications in soybean with CRISPR/Cas9
TL;DR: The CRISPR/Cas9 system is shown to be effective in soybean by knocking-out a green fluorescent protein (GFP) transgene and modifying nine endogenous loci, demonstrating that it is possible to edit duplicated genes relatively easily.
Journal ArticleDOI
Gateway-compatible vectors for high-throughput gene functional analysis in switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.) and other monocot species

TL;DR: A versatile set of Gateway-compatible destination vectors (termed pANIC) was constructed to be used in monocot plants for transgenic crop improvement and was functionally validated in switchgrass and rice and allows for high-throughput screening of sequences of interest in othermonocot species as well.
Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular Analysis of a Laccase Gene from the White Rot Fungus Pycnoporus cinnabarinus
TL;DR: A sequence analysis indicated that the P. cinnabarinus lcc3-1 product has a Phe residue at a position likely to influence the reduction-oxidation potential of the enzyme’s type 1 copper center.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Downregulation of GAUT4 reduces HG and rhamnogalacturonan II (RGII), reduces wall calcium and boron, and increases extractability of cell wall sugars, which improves biomass yields and sugar release from biomass processing.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bacterial citrate synthase expression and soil aluminum tolerance in transgenic alfalfa
Pierluigi Barone,Pierluigi Barone,Daniele Rosellini,Daniele Rosellini,Peter R. LaFayette,Joseph H. Bouton,Fabio Veronesi,Wayne A. Parrott +7 more
TL;DR: Based on the soil assays, two transgenic events were identified that were more aluminum-tolerant than the non-transgenic control, confirming that citrate synthase overexpression can be a useful tool to help achieve aluminum tolerance.
