Implication

Randomized trial shows improved hairy-root transformation efficiency in peanut, suggesting a faster genetic modification approach.

Key Points

This research aims to enhance the efficiency of genetic transformation in peanuts using specific genes.
Constructed high-expression vectors of GRF, GIF, and WOX genes.
Infected Agrobacterium rhizogenes with vectors to transform peanut stem segments.
Analyzed transformation efficiency by comparing root growth metrics against an empty-vector control.
Expression of developmental regulators increased the number of roots per explant by 1.3–2.4-fold.
The highest transformation efficiency was 85.14 ± 2.94% for GRF-2A (396)-GIF-GUS.
These findings establish a rapid platform for peanut gene function studies.
