Background Rice genome sequencing projects have generated remarkable amount of
information about genes and genome architecture having tremendous potential to be …

Rice (Oryza sativa ssp. indica) is an important economic crop in many countries. Although a
variety of conventional methods have been developed to improve this plant, manipulation by …

We report here a high-efficiency transformation protocol for recalcitrant indica rice cultivars
IR64 and IR72 with the selectable marker gene hph and the gusA reporter gene. Factors that …

Regenerable embryogenic suspensions of elite Indica (group 1) rice varieties IR24, IR64,
IR72 and an advanced Indica rice breeding line IR57311-95-2-3 were established within 6 …

Establishment of high efficiency Agrobacterium-mediated transformation techniques has
greatly accelerated the widespread application of transformation in japonica rice. However …

Rice was the first major monocot crop species to be transformed and regenerated. Initially,
rice transformation was limited to japonica cultivars. Subsequently, a number of indica and …

The present study describes a simple and efficient protocol for plant regeneration from
scutellar-derived embryogenic calli of an elite basmati indica rice (Oryza sativa L., cv Pusa …

Although several japonica and some indica varieties of rice have already been transformed,
there is significant scope for improvement in the technology for transformation of …

Rice biotechnology has made rapid advances since the first transgenic rice plants were
produced 15 years ago. Over the past decade, this progress has resulted in the …

Agrobacterium-mediated transformation of indica rice has been manipulated in only a
limited number of cultivars because the majority of indica varieties are recalcitrant to in vitro …
