A Citrus-Derived Peptide Boosts Transformation but Suppresses Shoot Regeneration — Here Is How Researchers Fixed the Trade-Off
Citrus crops are among the world's most valuable fruits, yet their genetic improvement has long been hindered by notoriously low transformation and regeneration efficiencies. A new study reveals that citrus-derived REGENERATION FACTOR1 (REF1) peptides can boost transformation efficiency by more than fourfold…
