TL;DR: Improved pGWBs should be a powerful tool for transgenic research in plants because of their small size and high-copy number in Escherichia coli make possible easier handling at plasmid preparation and sequencing.

TL;DR: A genetic network is illustrated in which PRR5, PRR7, and PRR9 directly regulate expression timing of key transcription factors to coordinate physiological processes with daily cycles.

TL;DR: The QTL-OsglHAT1’s allelic variations to a 1.2-kb region upstream of the gene body is consistent with its function as a positive regulator of the traits, which reveals the first example, to the authors' knowledge, of a QTL for a yield component trait being due to a chromatin modifier that has the potential to improve crop high-yield breeding.

TL;DR: This study shows that direct binding by CCA1 in the morning provides strong repression of PRR5, and repression by C CA1 also temporally regulates an evening-expressed gene set that includesPRR5.

TL;DR: A new series of Gateway binary vectors that are plant transformation vectors designed for one-step construction of chimeric genes between any promoter and any cDNA, and have a great advantage in expressing a cDNA under the regulation of desired promoters.
