Wheat may now be transformed very efficiently by Agrobacterium tumefaciens. Under the
protocol hereby described, immature embryos of healthy plants of wheat cultivar Fielder …

Wheat is one of the most important staple food crops of the world, and continuous genetic
improvement is vital to meet the demands of the rapidly growing world population …

Stable RNA interference-based technology was used to silence the expression of the
HvCKX1 gene in barley and the TaCKX1 gene in wheat and triticale. The silencing cassettes …

Low phytic acid is a trait desired in cereal crops and can be achieved by manipulating the
genes involved either in its biosynthesis or its transport in the vacuoles. Previously, we have …
