Rice (Oryza sativa L.), the staple that feeds over half of the globe, has undergone significant transformation and regeneration advancements over the last two decades. Although agrobacterium-mediated ...

Sweet potatoes from all over the world naturally contain genes from the bacterium Agrobacterium, researchers report. Sweet potato is one of the most important food crops for human consumption in the ...

If VirF and ASK1 are involved in uncoating of the T-DNA before its expression and integration, they both should reside in the host cell nucleus where VirF would interact with its target, VIP1. Indeed, ...

Transformation techniques currently in use still present significant obstacles for the manipulation of rice because the tissue culture response is genotype-dependent. In fact, the ...

Depending on the setting, the ability of a crucial bacterium in biotechnology—Agrobacterium tumefaciens—to transfer its DNA to a host plant can make it either a pathogen that damages crops or a ...

These mutations improve biocontainment, transformation stability, and overall performance in genetic engineering of plants. Complementing the strains, researchers also developed new plasmids and a ...
