Cereal crops have been the primary targets for improvement by genetic transformation
because of their worldwide importance for human consumption. For a long time, many of …

Rice biotechnology has made rapid advances since the first transgenic rice plants were
produced 15 years ago. Over the past decade, this progress has resulted in the …

Background Plant transformation is an invaluable tool for basic plant research, as well as a
useful technique for the direct improvement of commercial crops. Barley (Hordeum vulgare) …

ADP-glucose pyrophosphorylase (AGP) catalyzes the first committed step of starch
biosynthesis in higher plants. To identify AGP isoforms essential for this biosynthetic process …

The cisgenesis concept implies that plants are transformed only with their own genetic
materials or genetic materials from closely related species capable of sexual hybridization …

RNA editing plays an important role in organelle gene expression in various organisms,
including flowering plants, changing the nucleotide information at precise sites. Here, we …

During the efficient genetic transformation of plants with the gene of interest, some
selectable marker genes are also used in order to identify the transgenic plant cells or …

The basic helix–loop–helix (bHLH) transcription factors (TFs) comprise one of the largest
gene families in plants, and participate in various physiological processes, but the …

Mannose binding Allium sativum leaf agglutinin (ASAL) has been shown to be antifeedant
and insecticidal against sap-sucking insects. In the present investigation, ASAL coding …

In the present study, we utilized TALEN-and CRISPR/Cas9-induced mutations to analyze
the promoter of the barley phytase gene HvPAPhy_a. The purpose of the study was dual …
