Vegetative effects of RNAi-suppression of the poplar homolog of LEAFY in the field

Creator:

Jacobson, Jeremy

Abstract:

Due to public and regulatory restrictions, genetic containment technology is critical for research and development of transgenic trees in forestry. A multi-year field trial demonstrated that the RNAi-LFY construct successfully induces sexual sterility in 6K10 poplar (Populus alba) without visible effects on vegetative development. However, its limited number of replicates...

EBB1, an AP2/ERF Transcription Factor, Promotes Transgenic Shoot Development in Populus

Creator:

Ree, Joseph

Abstract:

Recalcitrance to transformation makes genetic engineering of many valuable plants infeasible for practical use. Transitory host modification during transformation using transgenes offers a possible means of overcoming this obstacle. In prior work in our laboratory, the genes GA20ox7 and EBB1 were found to increase regeneration in vitro. In this project,...
