Plants have considerable potential for the production of biopharmaceutical proteins and peptides because they are easily transformed and provide a cheap source of protein. Several biotechnology ...

A new protocol for the production of transgenic pineapple plants was developed. Adventitious buds were induced directly from Agrobacterium-infected leaf bases and stem discs of in vitro plants, ...

An F1 hybrid between Lycopersicon esculentum and L. peruvianum was transformed using a Ti-plasmid binary vector with a coat protein gene cDNA of an attenuated tomato ...

As the processing mechanism of all known potyviruses involves the activity of cysteine proteinases, we asked whether constitutive expression of a rice cysteine proteinase inhibitor gene could induce ...

Maize is one of the world's most widely grown crops and is essential to global food security. But like other plants, its growth and productivity can be limited by the slow activity of Rubisco, the ...

Academic researchers and companies in the agricultural biotechnology sector will be able to use a patent-pending Purdue University biology innovation to introduce valuable traits to plants without ...
