Organophosphonic acids are unique as natural products in terms of stability and mimicry.
The C–P bond that defines these compounds resists hydrolytic cleavage, while the …

Conventional agriculture still relies on the general use of agrochemicals (herbicides,
fungicides and insecticides) to control various pests (weeds, fungal pathogens and insects) …

Plant genetic engineering is an important tool used in current efforts in crop improvement,
pharmaceutical product biosynthesis and sustainable agriculture. However, conventional …

The current technologies to place new DNA into specific locations in plant genomes are low
frequency and error-prone, and this inefficiency hampers genome-editing approaches to …

A simple procedure for cloning and stable insertion of foreign genes into the chromosomes
of gram-negative eubacteria was developed by combining in two sets of plasmids (i) the …

THE concept of working memory is central to theories of human cognition because working
memory is essential to such human skills as language comprehension and deductive …

Transcription factors containing a conserved DNA‐binding domain similar to that of the proto‐
oncogene c‐myb have been identified in nearly all eukaryotes. MYB‐related proteins from …

We introduced a synthetic gene encoding a truncated version of the CryIA (b) protein
derived from Bacillus thuringiensis into immature embryos of an elite line of maize using …

A reproducible system for the generation of fertile, transgenic maize plants has been
developed. Cells from embryogenic maize suspension cultures were transformed with the …

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