The molecular mechanism and utilization of ZmMs7-mediated dominant nuclear sterility in Oryza sativa L by Yusheng Xu, Yusheng Xu, Dingyang Yuan, Meijuan Duan

“…This system comprises three modules: first, a dominant nuclear male-sterile (NMS) functional module driven by p5126, designed to achieve the dominant nuclear male-sterile trait; second, a fluorescence-based selection module driven by the endosperm-specific promoter LTP2, which facilitates the expression of the red fluorescent protein gene DsRed; and finally, a herbicide resistance screening module driven by the constitutive CaMV35S promoter, enabling the expression of the selectable marker Bar gene. …”

Candidate gene identification and marker development for seed coat peeling rate in peanut (Arachis Hypogaea L.) by Hongfei Liu, Ziqi Sun, Feiyan Qi, Xiao Wang, Meng Zhang, Juan Wang, Xiaobo Wang, Ziqiang Mo, Mingbo Zhao, Chenyang Zhi, Mengmeng Wang, Zhiyuan Zhou, Linhong Xu, Wenzhao Dong, Zheng Zheng, Xinyou Zhang

“…Among them, Arahy.0C6ZNN, which encodes laccase, was identified as the most likely candidate gene through integration of sequence variation analysis between the RIL parental lines and functional gene annotation. Furthermore, a functional marker A05.114993389 was developed and validated in both the natural and RIL populations, providing a valuable genomic resource for marker-assisted selection (MAS) in peanut breeding programs. …”
