Agrobacterium tumefaciens and related Agrobacterium species have been known as plant
pathogens since the beginning of the 20th century. However, only in the past two decades …

Identification of alleles that improve crop production and lead to higher-yielding varieties are
needed for food security. Here we show that the quantitative trait locus WFP (WEALTHY …

The flowering plant Arabidopsis thaliana is an important model system for identifying genes
and determining their functions. Here we report the analysis of the genomic sequence of …

Plant cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) results from incompatibilities between the organellar
and nuclear genomes and prevents self pollination, enabling hybrid crop breeding to …

We developed a new series of binary vectors useful for Gateway cloning to facilitate
transgenic experiments in plant biotechnology. The new system, Gateway Binary Vectors …

We made a series of improved Gateway binary vectors (pGWBs) for plant transformation.
Fifteen different reporters and tags, sGFP, GUS, LUC, EYFP, ECFP, G3GFP, mRFP, 6ÂHis …

Anthocyanins have high antioxidant activities, and engineering of anthocyanin biosynthesis
in staple crops, such as rice (Oryza sativa L.), could provide health-promoting foods for …

Loss of seed shattering was a key event in the domestication of major cereals. We revealed
that the qSH1 gene, a major quantitative trait locus of seed shattering in rice, encodes a …

Cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) and nucleus-controlled fertility restoration are widespread
plant reproductive features that provide useful tools to exploit heterosis in crops. However …
