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

International consensus has been reached on the principles regarding evaluation of the
food safety of genetically modified plants. The concept of substantial equivalence has been …

Formation of somatic embryos in plants is known to require high concentrations of auxin or
2, 4‐dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2, 4‐D), which presumably acts to trigger a signalling …

The delivery of proteins instead of DNA into plant cells allows for a transient presence of the
protein or enzyme that can be useful for biochemical analysis or genome modifications. This …

Basic research has provided a much better understanding of the genetic networks and
regulatory hierarchies in plants. To meet the challenges of agriculture, we must be able to …

One of the major technical hurdles impeding the advance of plant genetic engineering and
biotechnology is the fact that the expression or manipulation of multiple genes in plants is …

Key message New advances in crop genetic engineering can significantly pace up the
development of genetically improved varieties with enhanced yield, nutrition and tolerance …

This paper provides guidance on how to assess the safety of foods derived from genetically
modified crops (GM crops); it summarises conclusions and recommendations of Working …

It is generally thought that transformation of plant cells using Agrobacterium tumefaciens
occurs at a very low frequency. Therefore, selection marker genes are used to identify the …

To facilitate glucocorticoid‐inducible transgene expression from the pOp promoter in
Arabidopsis the ligand‐binding domain of a rat glucocorticoid receptor (GR LBD) was fused …
