Genetic engineering can be used to complement traditional breeding methods in crop plant
improvement. Transfer of genes from heterologous species provides the means of …

During its evolution and domestication Solanum lycopersicum has undergone various
genetic 'bottlenecks' and extreme inbreeding of limited genotypes. In Europe the tomato …

Garlic (Allium sativum L.) is a long-cultivated, clonally propagated diploid plant (2 n= 2 x=
16). With routine seed production now underway, we used populations (MP1 and MP2) …

Artemisia annua plants produce a broad range of volatile compounds, including
monoterpenes, which contribute to the characteristic fragrance of this medicinal species. A …

A cDNA, GaPR-10, encoding a pathogenesis-related class 10 protein, was isolated from
Gossypium arboreum, a diploid cotton species. The predicted protein of 159 amino acids …

Artemisinin, derived from Artemisia annua, is currently used as the first-line treatment for
malaria. However, wild-type plants have a low artemisinin biosynthesis rate. Although yeast …

Agrobacterium-mediated transformation of Vigna radiata L. Wilczek has been achieved.
Hypocotyl and primary leaves excised from 2-day-old in-vitro grown seedlings produced …

Four well-known commercial olive cultivars (Domat, Edremit, Gemlik, and Memecik) and six
local cultivars (Ziraat, Isrange, Tuz, Patos, Yag, and Marantelli) from northeastern Turkey …

Complementary DNA expression of mature human serum albumin was engineered into
potato plants under the transcriptional control of patatin B33 promoter and potato proteinase …

Artemisinin derivatives are effective anti-malarial drugs. In order to design transgenic plants
of Artemisia annua with enhanced biosynthesis of artemisinin, we are studying the …
