TLDR
A large number of morphologically normal, fertile, transgenic rice plants were obtained by co-cultivation of rice tissues with Agrobacterium tumefaciens, and sequence analysis revealed that the boundaries of the T-DNA in transgenic Rice plants were essentially identical to those intransgenic dicotyledons.
Abstract
Summary A large number of morphologically normal, fertile, transgenic rice plants were obtained by co-cultivation of rice tissues with Agrobacterium tumefaciens The efficiency of transformation was similar to that obtained by the methods used routinely for transformation of dicotyledons with the bacterium Stable integration, expression and inheritance of transgenes were demonstrated by molecular and genetic analysis of transformants in the R0, R1 and R2 generations Sequence analysis revealed that the boundaries of the T-DNA in transgenic rice plants were essentially identical to those in transgenic dicotyledons Calli induced from scutella were very good starting materials A strain of A tumefaciens that carried a so-called ‘super-binary’ vector gave especially high frequencies of transformation of various cultivars of japonica rice that included Koshihikari, which normally shows poor responses in tissue culture

pGreen: a versatile and flexible binary Ti vector for Agrobacterium-mediated plant transformation.

TL;DR: The pGreen plasmid system allows any arrangement of selectable marker and reporter gene at the right and left T-DNA borders without compromising the choice of restriction sites for cloning, since the pGreen cloning sites are based on the well-known pBluescript general vector plasmids.

A Robust CRISPR/Cas9 System for Convenient, High-Efficiency Multiplex Genome Editing in Monocot and Dicot Plants

TL;DR: A robust CRISPR/Cas9 vector system, utilizing a plant codon optimized Cas9 gene, for convenient and high-efficiency multiplex genome editing in monocot and dicot plants and provides examples of loss-of-function gene mutations in T0 rice and Arabidopsis plants.

A silicon transporter in rice

TL;DR: The identification of a silicon transporter provides both an insight into the silicon uptake system in plants, and a new strategy for producing crops with high resistance to multiple stresses by genetic modification of the root's silicon uptake capacity.

Overexpressing a NAM, ATAF, and CUC (NAC) transcription factor enhances drought resistance and salt tolerance in rice

TL;DR: It is shown that overexpression of stress responsive gene SNAC1 (STRESS-RESPONSIVE NAC 1) significantly enhances drought resistance in transgenic rice in the field under severe drought stress conditions at the reproductive stage while showing no phenotypic changes or yield penalty.

A QTL for rice grain width and weight encodes a previously unknown RING-type E3 ubiquitin ligase

TL;DR: The cloning and characterization of GW2 is reported, a new QTL that controls rice grain width and weight and suggests that GW2 negatively regulates cell division by targeting its substrate(s) to proteasomes for regulated proteolysis.

A revised medium for rapid growth and bio assays with tobacco tissue cultures

TL;DR: In vivo redox biosensing resolves the spatiotemporal dynamics of compartmental responses to local ROS generation and provide a basis for understanding how compartment-specific redox dynamics may operate in retrograde signaling and stress 67 acclimation in plants.

Improved M13 phage cloning vectors and host strains: nucleotide sequences of the M13mp18 and pUC19 vectors

TL;DR: New Escherichia coli host strains have been constructed for the E. coli bacteriophage M13 and the high-copy-number pUC-plasmid cloning vectors and mutations introduced into these strains improve cloning of unmodified DNA and of repetitive sequences.

A binary plant vector strategy based on separation of vir- and T-region of the Agrobacterium tumefaciens Ti-plasmid

TL;DR: The interaction of two compatible plasmids, one containing the vir-region, the other carrying the T-DNA on a wide host-range replicon are reported, which allows introduction of the manipulated T- DNA into plant cells.

The hypervirulence of Agrobacterium tumefaciens A281 is encoded in a region of pTiBo542 outside of T-DNA.

TL;DR: It is suggested that the hypervirulence of Agrobacterium tumefaciens A281 is due to non-T-DNA sequences on the Ti plasmid.
