Applications of RAPD Markers in Soybean: Genetic Diversity and Linkage Analysis
… transformation procedure plasmids carrying the bar and gus genes were applied to cut stigmas. Approximately 5000 seeds were produced from treated flowers. No plants derived from seeds produced by flowers treated with the plasmid carrying the bar gene were found to be as herbicide resistant as …

Studies on rice transformation and the use of transformed plants [electronic resource]
… of the Liberty herbicide resistance transgene in rice. Non-lethal methods to determine the sensitivity of transgenic rice plants to hygromycin B and Liberty were developed, tested and used in this research. Four homozygous transformed plants were selected to make reciprocal crosses with …

Transformation of a Transposon Construct into Tomato for Functional Genomics Studies
… as a model plant for Agrobacterium-mediated gene transfer by cotyledon inoculation. Our objective was to transform tomato with a T-DNA construct bearing a transposon from maize that can be used for mutagenesis when it transposes or moves around the genome of the tomato. The vector used is a …

Genetic engineering of sorghum and switchgrass for improved biofuel production
Biofuels, energy sources generated from biomass, have been seen as a potential route to meet energy demand and avoid political instability and environmental issues worldwide. Switchgrass has been considered as an excellent feedstock for biofuels due to the high cellulosic content, wide adaptation …

TAXI : a new vehicle for the transfer of genes into monocotyledonous plants
The transfer of foreign genes into cereals followed by their correct expression in a tissue specific, developmentally regulated manner has become an important research focus. Based on the mechanism of Agrobacterium tumefaciens mediated transformation in dicots, a modified method to transform the …

Investigations into the use of maize streak virus as a gene vector
… I geminivirus, maize streak virus (MSV), as a gene vector. These involved testing MSV-based replicons in transgenic cell lines, in transient expression assays in maize cells and in an infectious gene expression system in plants. MSV vectors which contained three different versions of a bar …

Studies on improvement of Chinese wheat cultivars for resistance against an endemic virus using transgenesis and virus-wheat interactions at the molecular and ultrastructural levels
… to Soil-borne wheat mosaic virus (SBWMV) by transgenesis, and an examination of virus movement by studying the complementation of movement proteins (MPs) from Tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) and SBWMV using a TMV-based virus vector.<br/><br/>A number of SBWMV coding sequences, including the functional …

Characterization of a minimal abiotic stress-inducible promoter in the development of a binary vector for crop protection
… modern agriculture. Over 15 years (1997-2013), genetically modified (GM) crops (mainly introducing insect and herbicide resistance traits) have facilitated an average global yield increase of 22 % while improving farmers profit margins by up to 68 % and, reducing the amount of land farmed owing …
