Approximately fifty marker genes used for transgenic and transplastomic plant research or
crop development have been assessed for efficiency, biosafety, scientific applications and …

Transgenesis is a powerful research tool that can be adapted to investigate many aspects of
gene function. It has been used widely in model plants such as Arabidopsis, tobacco and …

A rapid Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated transformation system for wheat was
developed using freshly isolated immature embryos, precultured immature embryos, and …

A selectable marker system for plant transformation that does not require the use of
antibiotics or herbicides was developed. The selectable marker consists of the manA gene …

Genetic transformation of plants often results in multiple copies of the introduced DNA at a
single locus. To ensure that only a single copy of a foreign gene resides in the plant …

Maize functional genomics research and genetic improvement strategies have been greatly
accelerated and refined through the development and utilization of genetic transformation …

Wheat HMW glutenin subunit genes 1Ax1 and 1Dx5 were introduced, and either expressed
or overexpressed, into a commercial wheat cultivar that already expresses five subunits. Six …

Due to the inherent difficulties associated with gene delivery into regenerable explants and
recovery of plantlets with the introduced transgene, wheat was the last among cereals to be …

The advent of precise genome-editing tools has revolutionized the way we create new plant
varieties. Three groups of tools are now available, classified according to their mechanism of …

An efficient and reproducible in vitro plant regeneration system from shoot apices was
developed in Jatropha curcas. Benzylaminopurine (BAP; 2.5 μM) was most effective in …
