Agrobacterium tumefaciens has been routinely utilized in gene transfer to dicotyledonous
plants, but monocotyledonous plants including important cereals were thought to be …

Tissue culture is the in vitro aseptic culture of cells, tissues, organs or whole plant under
controlled nutritional and environmental conditions [1] often to produce the clones of plants …

Here we describe development of transgenic elite rice lines expressing a Bt fusion gene
derived from cryIA (b) and cryIA (c) under the control of rice actinI promoter. The lines used …

We compared rice transgenic plants obtained by Agrobacterium-mediated and particle
bombardment transformation by carrying out molecular analyses of the T 0, T 1 and T 2 …

This book emerged from a series of lectures on crop evolution at the Faculty of Agriculture of
The Hebrew University of Jerusalem. While many textbooks are available on general …

The truncated chimeric Bt gene, cryIA (b) of Bacillus thuringiensis, driven by two constitutive
promoters, 35S from CaMV and Actin-1 from rice, and two tissue-specific promoters, pith …

The unique bread-making characteristic of wheat flour is closely related to the elasticity and
extensibility of the gluten proteins stored in the starchy endosperm, particularly the high …

Production of transgenic plants is a routine process for many crop species. Transgenes are
introduced into plants to confer novel traits such as improved nutritional qualities, tolerance …

We have developed a method for the accelerated production of fertile transgenic wheat
(Triticum aestivum L.) that yields rooted plants ready for transfer to soil in 8–9 weeks (56–66 …

Technology development is innovative to many aspects of basic and applied plant
transgenic science. Plant genetic engineering has opened new avenues to modify crops …
