2009 journal article

Protamine-mediated DNA coating remarkably improves bombardment transformation efficiency in plant cells

PLANT CELL REPORTS, 28(2), 213–221.

By: E. Sivamani n, R. DeLong * & R. Qu n

author keywords: DNA coating; DNA delivery; GUS; Plant transformation; Particle bombardment; Protamine
MeSH headings : DNA / chemistry; DNA / genetics; Oryza / metabolism; Plants / genetics; Plasmids / genetics; Protamines / chemistry; Transformation, Genetic / genetics
TL;DR: It is suggested that protamine protects plasmid DNA longer than spermidine when being delivered inside the cells, probably by forming a nano-scale complex, and thus helps improve the efficiency of particle bombardment-mediated plant transformation. (via Semantic Scholar)

2009 journal article

Sequence analysis of rice rubi3 promoter gene expression cassettes for improved transgene expression

PLANT SCIENCE, 177(6), 549–556.

By: E. Sivamani n, J. Starmer* & R. Qu n

author keywords: Exon; GUS; IME; rRNA; rubi3 promoter; Translation
TL;DR: Sequence analysis suggests that complementarity between sequences immediately 5′ of a translation initiation codon and the rice 17S rRNA may be responsible for the reduction in protein levels from constructs containing the GUS leader sequence. (via Semantic Scholar)

TRANSGENIC RESEARCH, 17(1), 47–57.

By: S. Dong n, H. Shew  n, L. Tredway n, J. Lu n, E. Sivamani n, E. Miller n , R. Qu n

author keywords: fungal resistance; Magnaporthe grisea; Rhizoctonia solani; T4 lysozyme; tall fescue

Gene expression enhancement mediated by the 5 ' UTR intron of the rice rubi3 gene varied remarkably among tissues in transgenic rice plants

MOLECULAR GENETICS AND GENOMICS, 279(6), 563–572.

By: J. Lu n, E. Sivamani n, K. Azhakanandam n, P. Samadder n, X. Li * & R. Qu n

author keywords: IME; intron; rubi3 gene promoter; transgenic rice; translation

Resistance of transgenic tall fescue to two major fungal diseases

PLANT SCIENCE, 173(5), 501–509.

By: S. Dong n, L. Tredway n, H. Shew  n, G. Wang *, E. Sivamani n & R. Qu n

author keywords: alfalfa AGLU1 gene; dermaseptin SI gene; fungal resistance; Magnaporthe grisea; Rhizoctonia solani; rice Pi9 gene
TL;DR: Of 15 T0 transgenic plants examined, 6 showed high levels of resistance to M. grisea, and 3 had enhanced resistance to R. solani, and the resistance in most of these cases was highly significant. (via Semantic Scholar)

Expression enhancement of a rice polyubiquitin gene promoter

PLANT MOLECULAR BIOLOGY, 60(2), 225–239.

By: E. Sivamani n & R. Qu n

author keywords: exon; gene expression; GUS; IME; intron; polyubiquitin; promoter; rice
MeSH headings : 5' Untranslated Regions; Base Sequence; Blotting, Western; DNA Primers; Gene Expression Regulation, Plant; Glucuronidase / genetics; Introns; Luciferases / genetics; Oryza / genetics; Polyubiquitin / genetics; Promoter Regions, Genetic; Reverse Transcriptase Polymerase Chain Reaction
TL;DR: The resultant 5′ regulatory sequence, consisting of the rubi3 promoter, 5′ UTR exon and intron, and the mutated first 9 nt coding sequence, has an activity nearly 90-fold greater than the rubu3 promoter only (without the 5′UTR intron), and 2.2-foldgreater than the maize Ubi1 gene promoter (including its 5″ UTR introns).
