Microparticle bombardment technology has evolved as a method for delivering exogenous
nucleic acids into plant cells and is a commonly employed technique in plant science …

Plant transformation has its roots in the research on Agrobacterium that was being
undertaken in the early 1980s. The last two decades have seen significant developments in …

Abstract The Rosea1, Rosea2, and Venosa genes encode MYB-related transcription factors
active in the flowers of Antirrhinum majus. Analysis of mutant phenotypes shows that these …

We have developed a simple protocol to allow the production of transgenic banana plants.
Foreign genes were delivered into embryogenic suspension cells using accelerated …

Oxophytodienoate reductases (OPRs) belong to a family of flavin‐dependent
oxidoreductases. With two new tomato isoforms reported here, three OPRs have now been …

Somatic embryos of Jack, a Glycine max (L.) Merrill cultivar, were transformed using
microprojectile bombardment with a synthetic Bacillus thuringiensis insecticidal crystal …

The barley Mla locus confers multiple resistance specificities to the obligate fungal biotroph,
Blumeria (= Erysiphe) graminis f. sp. hordei. Interspersed within the 240 kb Mla complex are …

Sonication-assisted Agrobacterium-mediated transformation (SAAT) tremendously improves
the efficiency of Agrobacterium infection by introducing large numbers of microwounds into …

Successful transformation of plant tissue using Agrobacterium relies on several factors
including bacterial infection, host recognition, and transformation competency of the target …

Under the vast umbrella of Plant Sciences resides a plethora of highly specialized fields.
Botanists, agronomists, horticulturists, geneticists, and physiologists each employ a different …
