Provided are methods of increasing nitrogen use efficiency, yield, biomass, growth rate, vigor, oil content, fiber yield, fiber quality and/or abiotic stress tolerance of a plant by expressing within the plant an exogenous polynucleotide comprising a nucleic acid sequence at least 80% identical to SEQ ID NO:1-467, 785-3047; or an exogenous polynucleotide encoding a polypeptide at least 80% identical to SEQ ID NO:468-784, 3048-4333, 4335-4682. Also provided isolated polynucleotide comprising a nucleic acid sequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NOs:1-467, 785-3047, which can be used to increase nitrogen use efficiency, yield, biomass, growth rate, vigor, oil content, fiber yield, fiber quality and/or abiotic stress tolerance of a plant.

A method for site-specific mutagenesis of Medicago sativa genes by using a CRISPR/Cas9 system. The method comprises: first constructing a binary expression vector MsCRISPR/Cas9 that can be used for transforming Medicago sativa by Agrobacterium tumefaciens; then designing a target site for a target gene, and ligating the DNA fragment containing the guide sequence of the target site into MsCRISPR/Cas9 to construct a vector MsCRISPR/Cas9::target; and then transforming the Medicago sativa by Agrobacterium tumefaciens, and generating, by screening, a mutant transformed plant with the target gene mutated. According to the method, an MtU6 promoter is used for driving sgRNA transcription in the Medicago sativa.

The invention relates to a rare edible fungus new strain and an artificial cultivation method and use thereof, in particular to a new species Pholiota glutinosior of genus Pholota and its artificial cultivation method and use. The new strain of genus Pholiota of the present invention is collected from the Guangdong Chebaling National Nature Reserve, and is identified as a new strain of genus Pholiota, and the original strain is obtained by tissue separation, and is named as HMGIM-W140054, deposited on Jun. 3, 2019, at China Center for Type Culture Collection (CCTCC, Wuhan, China), with the accession number CCTCC NO: M 2019414. The new strain of the invention has been artificially domesticated and cultivated, exhibits a strong and significant inhibition rate against Staphylococcus, and has a high content of histidine, crude polysaccharide and potassium. It is rich in nutrients and has high cultivation yield, and is a new species with high development prospects.

Systems and methods for improving marker-trait associations and for improving trait introgression precision while reducing trait introgression time are disclosed. Genes responsible for recombination are edited to reduce function, and thus increase recombination rates. Increased recombination rates allow more precise quantification of marker-trait associations, and more precise and faster trait introgression. Methods and compositions useful for selecting an organism with a trait of interest are provided herein. Candidate organisms identified and/or selected by any of the methods described above are also of interest.

The present invention discloses an inferior-eliminating and superior-selecting breeding method for synergistically improving wheat yield and quality. A method for breeding target wheat varieties with improved yield and quality is provided herein, which combines the advantages of pedigree method and hybrid method, and provides a method for selection of all generations using molecular marker in combination with phenotype identification, and for selection of each generation according to different standards. Different from the derivative system method, the method reserves the traceability of line history and genetic relationship and the characteristics of simple operation and abundant genetic diversity of the hybrid method. The parents have clear backgrounds before combination and the selection process is simple and easy to operate, with clear goal, especially for those with no breeding experiences, it is easy to master and provides technical support for the rapid breeding of new varieties of high-quality and high-yield wheat.
