Poplar is one of the main afforestation tree species in China, and the use of a single, or only
a few, clones with low genetic diversity in poplar plantations has led to increasing problems …

Forest trees are fundamental components of our environment, mainly due to their long
lifetime and important role in forest ecology. In the past, some non-native tree species and …

Background The molecular characterization information of T-DNA integration is not only
required by public risk assessors and regulators, but is also closely related to the expression …

Transgene integration and inheritance have been investigated in a number of crop plants
and few tree species. Transgene integration is predominantly a random process, whether …

Reducing lignin content is a target for processes such as papermaking because lignin
removal requires a tremendous amount of energy and chemicals. Recent advances in tree …

The integration and expression of foreign genes can produce unintended effects while
bringing specific functions to plants. As the frequency and severity of droughts are …

In this study, prostatic acid phosphatase (PAP), which is overexpressed in human prostate
cancer cells, was cloned to be fused to the IgM constant fragment (Fc) for enhancing …

The German Federal Agency for Nature Conservation (Bundesamt für Naturschutz, BfN) has
charged the Institute for Biodiversity-Network Science and Business (IBN) to carry out the …

More than 20 years ago, the first genetically modified (GM) plants entered the seed market.
The patents covering the first GM plants have begun to expire and these can now be …

Stable expression of foreign genes over the entire life span of a plant is important for long-
lived organisms such as trees. For transgenic forest trees, very little information is available …
