Enhancing Heat Tolerance of the Little Dogwood Cornus canadensis L. f. with Introduction of a Superoxide Reductase Gene from the Hyperthermophilic Archaeon Pyrococcus furiosus

Frontiers in Plant Science, 7.

By: X. Geng n, X. Liu n, M. Ji n, W. Hoffmann n , A. Grunden n  & Q. Xiang n 

author keywords: antioxidant enzyme; Cornus canadensis; genetic transformation; heat tolerance; Pyrococcus furiosus; reactive oxygen species (ROS); superoxide reductase (SOR)
topics (OpenAlex): Plant Stress Responses and Tolerance; Photosynthetic Processes and Mechanisms; Plant biochemistry and biosynthesis
TL;DR: This is the first report of the successful demonstration of improved heat tolerance in a non-model plant resulting from the introduction of P. furiosus SOR, and demonstrates the potential of SOR for crop improvement and that inherent limitations of plant heat tolerance can be ameliorated with P.furiosu SOR.

PLASMID, 81, 55–62.

By: J. Dalal  n, R. Yalamanchili n, C. Hovary n, M. Ji n, M. Rodriguez-Welsh n, D. Aslett n, S. Ganapathy n, A. Grunden n  ...

Contributors: J. Dalal  n, R. Yalamanchili n, C. La Hovary n, M. Ji n, M. Rodriguez-Welsh n, D. Aslett n, S. Ganapathy n, A. Grunden n , H. Sederoff n , R. Qu n

author keywords: Gateway; Plant transformation; Agrobacterium; Gene stacking
MeSH headings : Cloning, Molecular / methods; Gene Expression; Gene Order; Genes, Reporter; Genetic Vectors / genetics; Plants, Genetically Modified; Plasmids / genetics; Transformation, Genetic; Transgenes
topics (OpenAlex): CRISPR and Genetic Engineering; Chromosomal and Genetic Variations; Plant tissue culture and regeneration
TL;DR: The PC-GW vectors provide choices for selectable markers, cloning methods, and can accommodate up to eight gene constructs in a single T-DNA, thereby significantly reducing the number of transformations or crosses needed to generate multi-transgene expressing plants. (via Semantic Scholar)
