Cereal crops have been the primary targets for improvement by genetic transformation
because of their worldwide importance for human consumption. For a long time, many of …

Thanks to their potential to bind virtually all types of molecules; monoclonal antibodies are in
increasing demand as therapeutics and diagnostics. To overcome the overloading of current …

Several vector systems are available for tissue‐specific transactivation or chemical induction
of transgene expression in plants. The choice facing researchers is which promoter system …

Understanding the context-specific role of gene function is a key objective of modern
biology. To this end, we generated a resource for inducible cell type-specific transactivation …

Molecular biotechnology has made it possible to explore the potential of plants for different
purposes. The 3'regulatory regions have a great diversity of cis-regulatory elements directly …

Strawberry (Fragaria× ananassa Duch.), a member of the Rosaceae family, is one of the
most important fruit crops cultivated worldwide. Strawberry is unique within the Rosaceae …

For more than 20 years, plant biologists have tried to achieve complete control of transgene
expression. Until the techniques to target transgenes to safe harbor sites in the genome …

Genetic transformation is a reverse genetics tool for validation of target genes and crop
improvement. However, due to its low efficiency and genotype dependency, wheat is …

Genome integrity in eukaryotes depends on licensing mechanisms that prevent loading of
the minichromosome maintenance complex (MCM2-7) onto replicated DNA during S phase …

The role of the floral homeotic gene AGAMOUS (AG) and its close homologues in
development of anemophilous, unisexual catkins has not previously been studied. We …
