“…This has been demonstrated through analysis of d14 mutants in petunia (Petunia hybrida), rice (Orzya sativa), Arabidopsis thaliana, canola (Brassica napus), pea (Pisum sativum), barley (Hordeum vulgare), hexaploid wheat (Triticum aestivum), Medicago truncatula, and Lotus japonicus, as well as RNAi knockdown of D14 in soybean hairy roots (Arite et al, 2009;Hamiaux et al, 2012;Waters et al, 2012;Lauressergues et al, 2015;Marzec et al, 2016;de Saint Germain et al, 2016;Carbonnel et al, 2019;Ahmad et al, 2020;Liu et al, 2021;Stanic et al, 2021). D14 orthologs from cotton, Populus trichocarpa, and chrysanthemum have also been studied indirectly through cross-species complementation of an Arabidopsis d14 (Atd14) mutant (Wen et al, 2015;Zheng et al, 2016;Wang et al, 2019). This approach enables in vivo analysis of gene function for species that have fewer genetic resources available or are less tractable to genetic studies than the major model plant systems (e.g.…”
