The effects of the knockout of such genes as pflA, pta, ppc, pykF, adhE, and ldhA on the metabolic changes were analyzed for the case under anaerobic condition. The effects of the knockout of such genes as pgi, zwf, gnd, ppc pck, pyk, and lpdA on the metabolic changes were also analyzed for the case under aerobic condition. The metabolic regulation analysis was made focusing on the roles of transcription factors.展开更多

Ultimately, the production of fruits and seeds depends on the proper pistil development and function. Therefore, the identification and characterization of pistil expressed genes is essential for a better understanding and manipulation of the plant reproduction process. For studying the function of pistil expressed genes, transgenic and/or mutant plants for the genes of interest are used. The present article provides a review of methods already exploited to analyze sexual reproductive success. We intend to supply useful information and to guide future experiments in the study of genes affecting pistil development and function.展开更多
