Terpenoids are the largest, most diverse class of plant natural products and they play
numerous functional roles in primary metabolism and in ecological interactions. The first …

Various aspects of transformation and regeneration processes were examined in efforts to
improve the efficiency of production of transgenic cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.). Green …

Two overlapping genomic clones spanning 16.5 kb of cotton DNA were found to encompass
a Δ-12 fatty acid desaturase (FAD2-3) gene. A partial FAD2-3 cDNA clone was also …

Resistance to the sudden-death syndrome (SDS) of soybean (Glycine max L. Merr.), caused
by Fusarium solani f. sp. glycines, is controlled by a number of quantitatively inherited loci …

Cottonseed typically contains about 15% oleic acid. Here we report the development of
transgenic cotton plants with higher seed oleic acid levels. Plants were generated by …

The FAD2‐1 microsomal ω‐6 desaturase gene contains a large intron (∼ 1133 bp [base
pairs]) in the 5′ untranslated region that may participate in gene regulation and, in …

A rapid DNA minipreparation method was developed for cotton and yields 500–600 μg DNA
from 1.0 g fresh leaf tissue. Cotton DNA extracted using this method is completely digested …

The levels of mRNA transcripts of genes for several pathogenesis-related proteins were
examined in cotton stems after infection of the plants with the soil-borne, vascular wilt …

Four co-cultivation temperatures (15° C, 19° C, 25° C, and 32° C) were evaluated to
determine their effects on T-DNA transfer and stable integration. Tobacco leaf explants were …

The genetic diversity and structure in 17 wild populations (249 individuals) of Phytolacca
dodecandra (endod) sampled along altitudinal gradients of 1600–3000 meters above sea …
