REF1 peptides significantly enhance transformation efficiency but inhibit shoot regeneration in citrus agrobacterium-mediated transformation
Both CsREF1 peptides enhance citrus transformation but suppress regeneration, and staged exogenous application of CsREF1 peptides improves genetic improvement of recalcitrant perennial crops such as citrus, which decouples early dedifferentiation from later organogenesis, substantially expanding the toolbox for high-th...
