Journal ArticleDOI
A simple, rapid, high-fidelity and cost-effective PCR-based two-step DNA synthesis method for long gene sequences
TL;DR: The PTDS method provides an alternative tool for synthesizing and assembling long genes with complex structures for synthesis of long segments of DNA with high G + C contents, repetitive sequences or complex secondary structures.
Journal ArticleDOI
Altered morphology in transgenic tobacco plants that overproduce cytokinins in specific tissues and organs.
TL;DR: The tissue- and organ-specific overproduction of cytokinins produced a number of morphological and physiological changes, including stunting, loss of apical dominance, reduction in root initiation and growth, and adventitious shoot formation from unwounded leaf veins and petioles, altered nutrient distribution, and abnormal tissue development in stems.
Journal ArticleDOI
PCR-based accurate synthesis of long DNA sequences
Ai-Sheng Xiong,Quan-Hong Yao,Ri-He Peng,Hui Duan,Hui Duan,Xian Li,Hui-Qin Fan,Zong-Ming Cheng,Yi Li +8 more
TL;DR: The PAS protocol provides a simple, rapid, reliable and relatively inexpensive method for synthesizing long, accurate DNA sequences.
Journal ArticleDOI
‘GM‐gene‐deletor’: fused loxP‐FRT recognition sequences dramatically improve the efficiency of FLP or CRE recombinase on transgene excision from pollen and seed of tobacco plants
Keming Luo,Hui Duan,Degang Zhao,Xuelian Zheng,Wei Deng,Yongqin Chen,C. Neal Stewart,Richard J. McAvoy,Xiangning Jiang,Yanhong Wu,Aigong He,Yan Pei,Yi Li +12 more
TL;DR: The 'GM-gene-deletor' reported here may be used to produce 'non-transgenic' pollen and/or seed from transgenic plants and to provide a bioconfinement tool for transgenic crops and perennials, with special applicability towards vegetatively propagated plants and trees.
Journal ArticleDOI
Auxin-induced expression of the soybean GH3 promoter in transgenic tobacco plants.
TL;DR: The gene encoding the auxin-responsive GH3 mRNA from soybean was cloned, and its sequence and transcription initiation site were determined, and the auxIn-deduced GUS expression was characterized for kinetics, auxin specificity and dose response.
