    Ectopic expression of foxtail millet zip-like gene, SiPf40, in transgenic rice plants causes a pleiotropic phenotype affecting tillering, vascular distribution and root development

    Plant architecture determines grain production in rice (Oryza sativa) and is affected by important agronomic traits such as tillering, plant height, and panicle morphology. Many key genes involved in controlling ...

    The foxtail millet Si69 gene is a Wali7 (wheat aluminum-induced protein 7) homologue and may function in aluminum tolerance

    We isolated a clone, named Si69, from a foxtail millet immature seed cDNA library. The protein encoded by Si69 contains a conserved Wali7 (wheat aluminum induced protein 7) domain and shares high-level homology w...

    RNA Silencing Mediated by Direct Repeats in Maize: A Potential Tool for Functional Genomics

    It has been shown in tobacco and Arabidopsis that transgenes with multiple direct repeats induce RNA silencing at high frequency. In this study, we tried to establish a direct repeat-induced RNA silencing system ...

    Functional characterization of the pollen-specific SBgLR promoter from potato (Solanum tuberosum L.)

    SBgLR (Solanum tuberosum genomic lysine-rich) gene was isolated from a potato genomic library using SB401 (S. berthaultii 401) cDNA as probe. RT-PCR analysis of SB...

    Overexpression of Zm401, an mRNA-like RNA, has distinct effects on pollen development in maize

    We previously identified a 0.7 Kb cDNA fragment of Zm401, a novel pollen-specific gene in maize (Zea mays). However, little information is known about the function of Zm401 in pollen development. The full-length ...

    Characterization and functional analysis of a pollen-specific gene st901 in Solanum tuberosum

    A pollen-specific gene, sb401, which was isolated from a cDNA library of in vitro geminated pollen of the diploid potato species Solanum berthaultii, belongs to the class of genes expressed late during pollen dev...

    Particle-Bombardment-Mediated Co-Transformation of Maize with a Lysine Rich Protein Gene (sb401) from potato

    Little work has been reported on genetic transformation with maize inbred lines, especially elite inbred lines used in breeding. In this work, 7 self-pollinated inbred lines and 4 hybrid lines have been screen...

    Ectopic expression of a maize pollen specific gene, zm401, results in aberrant anther development in tobacco

    Our previous study shows that the maize zm401 cDNA is specifically expressed in maize pollens. This evidence suggests that zm401 likely functions in pollen growth and/or development. To confirm its possible invol...

    Seed-specific expression of a lysine rich protein sb401 gene significantly increases both lysine and total protein content in maize seeds

    The sb401 gene from potato (Solanum berthaultii) encoding a pollen-specific protein with high lysine content was successfully integrated into the genome of maize plants and its expression was correlated with incr...
