In molecular biology studies, suitable vectors are fundamental tools; however, most vectors can only express one target gene, which limits the ability to study multiple genes simultaneously within the same plant tissue. The traditional method for achieving multi-gene co-expression involves co-transferring multiple plasmids into plant tissues, but this approach is often inefficient due to the difficulty of successfully transforming multiple plasmids at once. To overcome this limitation, we have developed a series of vectors, called pMAGs (Multigene Assembly Genetic vectors), capable of simultaneously expressing or silencing two or three different genes in plants. These vectors not only provide an optimal solution for a wide range of biological experiments but also work effectively across numerous plant species.
在分子生物学研究中,合适的载体是基本工具;然而,大多数载体只能表达一个靶基因,这限制了在同一植物组织中同时研究多个基因的能力。实现多基因共表达的传统方法是将多个质粒共同转入植物组织,但由于难以一次性成功转化多个质粒,这种方法往往效率低下。为了克服这一限制,我们开发了一系列载体,称为pMAGs(多基因组装遗传载体),能够在植物中同时表达或沉默两个或三个不同的基因。这些载体不仅为广泛的生物学实验提供了最佳解决方案,而且在众多植物物种中都能有效发挥作用。
