Plant-mediated RNA interference (RNAi) shows great potential in crop protection. It relies on
plants stably expressing double-stranded RNAs (dsRNAs) that target essential genes in pest …

The small bacterial-type genome of the plastid (chloroplast) can be engineered by genetic
transformation, generating cells and plants with transgenic plastid genomes, also referred to …

Why the DNA‐containing organelles, chloroplasts, and mitochondria, are inherited
maternally is a long standing and unsolved question. However, recent years have seen a …

The genomes of DNA-containing cell organelles (mitochondria, chloroplasts) can be
laterally transmitted between organisms, a process known as organelle capture. Organelle …

Recent advances in plant genomics and molecular biology have revolutionized our
understanding of plant genetics, providing new opportunities for more efficient and …

Recombinant proteins are widely used today in many industries, including the
biopharmaceutical industry, and can be expressed in bacteria, yeasts, mammalian and …

The genomes of cytoplasmic organelles (mitochondria and plastids) are maternally inherited
in most eukaryotes, thus excluding organellar genomes from the benefits of sexual …

Tissue grafting includes applications ranging from plant breeding to animal organ
transplantation. Donor and recipient are generally believed to maintain their genetic …

Plastids (chloroplasts) possess an enormous capacity to synthesize and accumulate foreign
proteins. Here we have maximized chloroplast protein production by over‐expressing a …

Second generation biofuel development is increasingly reliant on the recombinant
expression of cellulases. Designing or identifying successful expression systems is thus of …
