Journal ArticleDOI

High-efficiency CRISPR/Cas9 multiplex gene editing using the glycine tRNA-processing system-based strategy in maize.

TL;DR: The examples reported here demonstrate the utility of the tRNA-processing system-based strategy as an efficient multiplex genome editing tool to enhance maize genetic research and breeding.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genome-Wide Characterization of cis-Acting DNA Targets Reveals the Transcriptional Regulatory Framework of Opaque2 in Maize

TL;DR: A hierarchical regulatory model for O2 is built that provides an understanding of its pleiotropic biological effects and identifies four O2 binding motifs; among them, TGACGTGG appears to be the most conserved and strongest.
Journal ArticleDOI

Dek35 Encodes a PPR Protein that Affects cis-Splicing of Mitochondrial nad4 Intron 1 and Seed Development in Maize

TL;DR: Cl cloning and functional characterization of maize Defective kernel 35 indicate that Dek35 encodes an PPR protein that affects the cis-splicing of mitochondrial nad4 intron 1 and is required for mitochondrial function and seed development.
Journal ArticleDOI

OPAQUE11 Is a Central Hub of the Regulatory Network for Maize Endosperm Development and Nutrient Metabolism

TL;DR: A regulatory network centered by O11 coordinates cell development, storage nutrient metabolism, and stress response during endosperm development and nutrient metabolism is revealed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mitochondrial Function and Maize Kernel Development Requires Dek2, a Pentatricopeptide Repeat Protein Involved in nad1 mRNA Splicing.

TL;DR: Dek2 is a new PPR protein that affects the splicing of mitochondrial nad1 intron 1 and is required for mitochondrial function and kernel development, and Dramatically up-regulated expression of alternative oxidases (AOXs), transcriptome data, and TEM analysis results revealed that proper splicing is critical for mitochondrial functions and inner cristaes morphology.
