Ac/Ds transposable controlling elements (Genetics 🧬)
Ac/Ds transposable controlling elements was the first transposable element system recognized in maize. The Ac Activator element is autonomous, whereas the Ds Dissociation element requires an Activator element to transpose. Ac was initially discovered as enabling a Ds element to break chromosomes....

A Roadmap for Gene Regulation in Plants
A novel approach to synthetic biology could revolutionize how scientists improve plants for bioenergy and agriculture. Researchers have developed a genome-scale way to map the regulatory role of transcription factors, proteins that play a key role in gene expression and determining a plant’s physiological traits.

"So, basically, we're replacing #chemistry with #biology ."
This new process fuses #plant #breeding with #GeneEditing (making changes to existing #PlantGenes ). It's a process which is different from genetically modified organism (GMO), Charles explained, when a gene is transferred from one organism to another.
