Significant progress has been made in unraveling the molecular biology of rice in the past
two decades. Today, rice stands as a forerunner amongst the cereals in terms of details …

With the fairly recent advent of inexpensive, rapid sequencing technologies that continue to
improve sequencing efficiency and accuracy, many species of animals, plants, and microbes …

An HVA1 gene from barley was introduced and expressed under the control of a constitutive
or a stress-inducible promoter in a recalcitrant scented rice variety, Pusa Basmati 1 to …

With the aim of increasing the cysteine level in rice (Oryza sativa L.) and thus improving its
nutritional quality, transgenic rice plants were generated expressing an Escherichia coli …

Agrobacterium-mediated transformation of indica rice varieties has been quite difficult as
these are recalcitrant to in vitro responses. In the present study, we established a high …

Several approaches have recently been adopted to improve Agrobacterium-mediated
transformation of maize; however, about eight months of in vitro culture are still required to …

An efficient and reproducible transformation method of sonication-assisted Agrobacterium-
mediated transformation (SAAT) was developed for chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) …

Creeping bentgrass (Agrostis palustris Huds.) is an important cool-season turfgrass and has
been extensively used in golf course putting greens. To improve host resistance to fungal …

Transcription factors play a key role to enable plants to cope with abiotic stresses. DREB 2
regulates the expression of several stress‐inducible genes and constitutes major hubs in the …

Precise expression of a transgene in the desired manner is important for plant genetic
engineering and gene function deciphering, but it is a challenge to obtain specific transgene …
