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 …

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 …

Genome editing, which is an unprecedented technological breakthrough, has provided a
valuable means of creating targeted mutations in plant genomes. In this study, we …

Attenuated strains of the naturally occurring plant pathogen Agrobacterium tumefaciens can
transfer virtually any DNA sequence of interest to model plants and crops. This has made …

Abstract Coffea canephora (2n= 2x= 22 chromosomes) is a species with extensive genetic
diversity and desirable agronomic traits for coffee breeding programs. However, obtaining a …

Key message Combining with a CRISPR/Cas9 system, Agrobacterium-mediated
transformation can lead to precise targeted T-DNA integration in the rice genome. Abstract …

As a staple food crop, rice has gained mainstream attention in genome engineering for its
genetic improvement. Genome engineering technologies such as transgenic and genome …

Rice is the most amenable crop plant for genetic manipulation amongst monocots due to its
small genome size, enriched genetic map, availability of entire genome sequence, and …

Wheat was among the last of the major crops to be transformed (in 1992), and
transformation is still difficult, with a lower efficiency than that for maize and rice. However …
