Chinese researchers discovered REGENERATION FACTOR1 (REF1), a primary wound signal in plants, enabling better crop genetic transformation efficiency.
Chinese researchers discovered the primary wound signal, REGENERATION FACTOR1 (REF1), which initiates plant regenerative responses. This finding offers a method to improve crops' genetic transformation efficiency. The study, led by Li Chuanyou from the Chinese Academy of Sciences' Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology, provides insight into the molecular mechanisms behind wound-induced regeneration in plants.
