Agrobacterium-mediated transformation is one of the most commonly used genetic
transformation method that involves transfer of foreign genes into target plants …

Genetic modification, including plant breeding, has been widely used to improve crop yield
and quality, as well as to increase disease resistance. Targeted genome engineering is …

Genes conferring resistance to antibiotics have been widely used as markers for the
selection of transformed cells in the development of genetically modified (GM) plants. Their …

Transcription activator-like effectors (TALEs) are virulence factors of Xanthomonas that
