Journal ArticleDOI
A retrospective DNA marker assessment of the development of insect resistant soybean
TL;DR: The results of this study indicate that marker-assisted selection for SIR QTLs is needed to introgress these loci into elite genetic backgrounds.
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
A molecular view of plant centromeres
TL;DR: The discovery of a Ty3/gypsy class of centromere-specific retrotransposons, the CR family, was discovered in the grass species, and data suggest that the deposition ofCentromeric histones might be a transcription-coupled event.
Book ChapterDOI
Morphogenic Aspects of Somatic Embryogenesis
TL;DR: Credit for the first descriptions of somatic embryogenesis might more properly belong to Levine, who in 1947 reported the recovery of carrot “seedlings” from tissues exposed to low levels of α-naphthaleneacetic acid, via a process whose description sounds very much like somatic embryos.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genetic transformation, recovery, and characterization of fertile soybean transgenic for a synthetic Bacillus thuringiensis cryIAc gene.

TL;DR: Somatic embryos of Jack, a Glycine max (L.) Merrill cultivar, were transformed using microprojectile bombardment with a synthetic Bacillus thuringiensis insecticidal crystal protein gene (Bt cryIAc) driven by the 35S promoter and linked to the HPH gene, the first report of a soybean transgenic for a highly expressed insecticidal gene.
