The ability of plants to withstand herbivores relies on direct and indirect chemical defense.
By using toxic phytochemicals, plants can deter and/or poison herbivores, while by releasing …

Summarizing landmark research, Volume 2 of this essential series furnishes information on
the availability of germplasm resources that breeders can exploit for producing high-yielding …

Various plant-derived promoters can be used to regulate ectopic gene expression in potato.
In the present study, four promoters derived from the potato genome have been …

Improvements in methodology and transformation vectors have helped to increase the
transformation efficiency and stable expression of transgenes in potato. Genetic …

Chitinase is an important pathogenesis-related protein in plants, and it can accumulate
when induced by salicylic acid (SA) or other elicitors. Here, we found that chitinase mRNA …

Abstract Background Traditional CRISPR/Cas9 systems that rely on U6 or U3 snRNA
promoters (RNA polymerase III-dependent promoters) can only achieve constitutive gene …

Most potato transgenic research has focused on development of resistance to pathogens
and modification of potato physiology. Many transgenes, particularly those conferring …

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) signaling system involves complex redox processes that
require participation by specific signal molecules, such as H 2 O 2 and nitric oxide (NO), and …

Kombinovanje ili “slaganje” različitih gena u transgenim biljkama radi postizanja uspešnije
kontrole patogena i štetočina i/ili većeg prinosa predstavlja jednu od glavnih oblasti …

Quite a number of important crops have been genetically modified with genes for
agronomically important traits, such as insect and viral resistance. As the numbers of …
