Open AccessThe biochemical composition and transcriptome of cotyledons from Brassica napus lines expressing the AtGL3 transcription factor and exhibiting reduced flea beetle feeding
Previously, transgenic trichome-bearing (hairy leaf) Brassica napus lines expressing either the Arabidopsis thaliana GL3 gene (line AtGL3+) [1] or the AtGL3 gene in combination with an RNAi construct to down-regu...

MsmiR156 affects global gene expression and promotes root regenerative capacity and nitrogen fixation activity in alfalfa
MicroRNA156 (miR156) regulates a network of downstream genes to affect plant growth and development. We previously generated alfalfa (Medicago sativa) plants that overexpress homologous miR156 (MsmiR156OE), and i...

Salt stress (NaCl) affects plant growth and branch pathways of carotenoid and flavonoid biosyntheses in Solanum nigrum
In this study, we set out to investigate the effect of sodium chloride (NaCl) on carotenoid and flavonoid production by the black nightshade (Solanum nigrum L.). The study was carried out under green chamber con...

Ectopic expression of LjmiR156 delays flowering, enhances shoot branching, and improves forage quality in alfalfa
MicroRNA156 (miR156) is a regulator of flowering time and biomass production through regulation of members of SQUAMOSA PROMOTER BINDING PROTEIN-LIKE (SPL) gene family. To expand our investigations on the utility ...
