Imidazolinone herbicides, which include imazapyr, imazapic, imazethapyr, imazamox,
imazamethabenz and imazaquin, control weeds by inhibiting the enzyme acetohydroxyacid …

Two groups of enzymes are classified as acetolactate synthase (EC 4.1. 3.18). This review
deals chiefly with the FAD-dependent, biosynthetic enzymes which readily catalyze the …

Production of transgenic plants is a routine process for many crop species. Transgenes are
introduced into plants to confer novel traits such as improved nutritional qualities, tolerance …

Genetically modified (GM) cotton altered for insect and herbicide resistance released into
commercial production in 1996 to 1997 now accounts for the lion's share of cotton acreage …

Weeds have known to affect human activities including agriculture since ages. Looking at
the global scenario the major contributors of crop loss are weeds, followed by animals and …

Transgenic tobacco plants producing the synthetic antimicrobial peptide D4E1, encoded by
a gene under the control of an enhanced cauliflower mosaic virus 35S RNA promoter, were …

A protocol is presented for efficient transformation and regeneration of cotton. Embryogenic
calli co-cultivated with Agrobacterium carrying cry1Ia5 gene were cultured under …

Fertile, transgenic cotton plants expressing the synthetic antimicrobial peptide, D4E1, were
produced through Agrobacterium‐mediated transformation. PCR products and Southern …

Marker genes (MGs) are essential tools for plant research and biotechnology. Positive
selectable marker genes (SMGs) are used in genetic transformation to allow only transgenic …

An elite Chinese cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) cultivar Simian-3 was chosen for tissue
culture. Callus with a high frequency of somatic embryogenesis, somatic embryos, and …
