Sustainable agriculture in response to increasing demands for food depends on
development of high-yielding crops with high nutritional value that require minimal …

The use of recombinases for genomic engineering is no longer a new technology. In fact,
this technology has entered its third decade since the initial discovery that recombinases …

During the efficient genetic transformation of plants with the gene of interest, some
selectable marker genes are also used in order to identify the transgenic plant cells or …

Selectable marker genes (SMGs) and selection agents are useful tools in the production of
transgenic plants by selecting transformed cells from a matrix consisting of mostly …

Lipid peroxidation plays a major role in seed longevity and viability. In rice grains, lipid
peroxidation is catalyzed by the enzyme lipoxygenase 3 (LOX 3). Previous reports showed …

Citrus is one of the most important fruit crops in the world. This review will discuss the recent
findings related to citrus transformation and regeneration protocols of juvenile and adult …

Plant biotechnology relies heavily on the genetic manipulation of crops. Almost invariantly,
the gene of interest is expressed in a constitutive fashion, although this may not be strictly …

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 …

Climate change and rapid adaption of invasive pathogens pose a constant pressure on the
fruit industry to develop improved varieties. Aiming to accelerate the development of better …

Climate change is deeply impacting the food chain production, lowering quality and yield. In
this context, the international scientific community has dedicated many efforts to enhancing …
