Chinese and American researchers work together to lift the veil of corn leaves

Xinhua News Agency, Jinan, October 12 (Reporter Xiao Haichuan) reporter from Shandong Agricultural University was informed that the school researchers and a number of research institutes to cooperate in research, the use of high-volume research corn transcription factor control site technology, with the help of large-scale transcription factor data reconstruction of corn leaf gene expression control network. This progress will help the corn gene editing targeted, the results of the 9th published in the international academic journal Nature Newsletter.
team from Shandong Agricultural University's School of Agriculture,
Chinese University's National Key Laboratory of Agricultural Biotechnology and Cornell University's Genomic Diversity Institute. After experiments, the researchers comprehensively analyzed the binding site of corn leaf expression transcription factor, and analyzed the influence of transcription factor binding site on the agro-artistic characteristics such as leaf morphology and vomit flowering.
corn is an important food crop, corn leaves are an important organ to ensure corn yield. Studying the combination of corn plant transcription factors will help the academic community to form a model of predictive transcription factor binding and co-positioning, so as to realize intelligent, efficient and directed cultivation of new varieties.
