Peanut Ubiquitin4 promoter enables stable transgene expression and efficient CRISPR editing
Beijing Zhongke Journal Publising Co. Ltd.Peer-Reviewed Publication
A study published in aBIOTECH identifies and validates a native Ubiquitin4 (AhUBQ4) promoter from peanut that enables strong and stable gene expression. The AhUBQ4 promoter outperforms the commonly used CaMV 35S promoter in both reporter assays and multiplex CRISPR/Cas9 editing, paving the way for more efficient peanut transformation and functional genomics.
