Journal ArticleDOI
Improved biomass productivity and water use efficiency under water deficit conditions in transgenic wheat constitutively expressing the barley HVA1 gene
Elumalai Sivamani,Ahmed Bahieldin,Jon M. Wraith,Thamir S. Al-Niemi,William E. Dyer,Tuan-Hua David Ho,Rongda Qu +6 more
TL;DR: Results of this study indicate that growth characteristics were improved in transgenic wheat plants constitutively expressing the barley HVA1 gene in response to soil water deficit.
Journal ArticleDOI
Somatic embryogenesis and plant regeneration of turf-type bermudagrass: Effect of 6-benzyladenine in callus induction medium
Ashok Chaudhury,Rongda Qu +1 more
TL;DR: Tissue culture responses of young inflorescences of a hybrid bermudagrass cultivar `Tifgreen' (Cynodon dactylon×Cynodocus transvaalensis) and a common bermUDagrasses cultivar`Savannah' (cynodondactylon) were investigated and formed a compact, nodular embryogenic structure which was highly regenerable and morphologically normal.
Journal ArticleDOI
A photorespiratory bypass increases plant growth and seed yield in biofuel crop Camelina sativa.
Jyoti Dalal,Harry O. Lopez,Naresh Vasani,Zhaohui Hu,Jennifer Swift,Roopa Yalamanchili,Mia Dvora,Xiuli Lin,De-Yu Xie,Rongda Qu,Heike Sederoff +10 more
TL;DR: By reducing photorespiratory losses and increasing photosynthetic CO2 fixation rates, transgenic plants show dramatic increases in seed yield, and the bypass approach may have significant impact on increasing agricultural productivity for C3 crops.
Journal ArticleDOI
High throughput Agrobacterium-mediated switchgrass transformation
TL;DR: The new system substantially improved switchgrass transformation efficiency and will significantly contribute to the genetic improvement of this important biofuel feedstock via biotechnological approach.
Journal ArticleDOI
Expression enhancement of a rice polyubiquitin gene promoter.
Elumalai Sivamani,Rongda Qu +1 more
TL;DR: The resultant 5′ regulatory sequence, consisting of the rubi3 promoter, 5′ UTR exon and intron, and the mutated first 9 nt coding sequence, has an activity nearly 90-fold greater than the rubu3 promoter only (without the 5′UTR intron), and 2.2-foldgreater than the maize Ubi1 gene promoter (including its 5″ UTR introns).
