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 …

Oil palm (Elaeis guineensis, Jacq.) is a prominent vegetable-oil-yielding crop. Cultivating
high-yielding oil palm with improved traits is a pre-requisite to meet the increasing demands …

An efficient and reproducible in vitro plant regeneration system from shoot apices was
developed in Jatropha curcas. Benzylaminopurine (BAP; 2.5 μM) was most effective in …

Biolistic delivery is widely used for genetic transformation but inconsistency between
bombardment samples for transient gene expression analysis often hinders quantitative …

Oil palm is the most productive vegetable oil in the world for human consumptions and
industrial applications. Increasing demands of palm oil over the years have led the research …

Oil palm (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.) is the highest yielding oil-bearing crop. However, being a
perennial crop, genetic improvement of oil palm is extremely slow. Indeed, compared to …

Oil palm is a major economic crop for Malaysia. The major challenges faced by the industry
are labor shortage, availability of arable land and unstable commodity price. This has …

Biodegradable plastics, mainly polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB), which are traditionally produced
by bacterial cells, have been produced in the cells of more than 15 plant species. Since the …

Oil palm is an important economic crop for Malaysia. Genetic engineering could be applied
to produce transgenic oil palms with high value-added fatty acids and novel products to …

DOGR1, which encodes 2-deoxyglucose-6-phosphate phosphatase, has been used as a
selectable marker gene to produce transgenic plants. In this study, a transformation vector …
