The technology of insect-resistant transgenic plants is expanding very rapidly, with
considerable research activity in both the private and public sectors. The only …

Considerable progress has been accomplished in the cellular and molecular biology of
Brassica species in the past few years. Plant regeneration has been increasingly optimized …

Plants may also be resistant to arthropods via the tolerance category of resistance, as
defined in Chapter 1, by possessing the ability to withstand or recover from damage caused …

The effects of jasmonic acid (JA) and methyl jasmonate (Me-JA) on photosynthetic efficiency
and expression of some photosystem (PSII) related in different cultivars of Brassica oleracea …

Several important crops have been engineered to express toxins of Bacillus thuringiensis
(Bt) for insect control. In 1999, US farmers planted nearly 8 million hectares (nearly 20 …

Agrobacterium-mediated transformation is widely used for gene delivery in plants. However,
commercial cultivars of crop plants are often recalcitrant to transformation because the …

This study was undertaken to determine the effects of pyramiding two Bacillus thuringiensis
(Bt) genes in the same plant on the production of Bt proteins and the control of diamondback …

Factors influencing the Agrobacterium-mediated transformation of both monocotyledonous
and dicotyledonous plant species have been widely investigated. These factors include …

A number of factors that are known to influence genetic transformation were evaluated to
optimize Agrobacterium-mediated transformation of hypocotyl explants of cauliflower variety …

Eight cultivars of Brassica oleracea var. capitata and two types of explant (hypocotyl and
cotyledon) were tested for their potential to regenerate under in vitro conditions. Hypocotyl …
