In vitro regeneration and morphogenesis studies in common bean
An efficient protocol for high frequency in vitro regeneration of multiple shoots and somatic embryos from the embryonic axis of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) was developed. Ten common bean cultivars represent...

Transformation of Oats and Its Application to Improving Osmotic Stress Tolerance
Oat (Avena sativa L.), a worldwide temperate cereal crop, is deficient in tolerance to osmotic stress due to drought and/or salinity. To genetically transform the available commercial oat cultivars, a genotype-in...

Shoot apical meristem: In vitro regeneration and morphogenesis in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)
We report a less genotype-dependent in vitro regeneration system capable of producing multiple shoot clumps and whole plants in four different wheat genotypes. Shool apical meristems from 7-d-old-seedlings produc...

Expression of synthetic Cry1Ab and Cry1Ac genes in basmati rice (Oryza sativa L.) variety 370 via Agrobacterium-mediated transformation for the control of the european corn borer (Ostrinia nubilalis)
Movement of pests to non-host erops due to resistance of their host plants is diseussed. We report the simultaneous control of the European corn borer (Ostrinia nubilalis) and protection of transgenic rice (Oryza...

Direct and efficient plant regeneration from leaf explants of Solanum tuberosum l. cv. Bintje
A two-step procedure was used for plant regeneration from in vitro grown leaf strips (2–3 mm wide) of cv. Bintje. Step I medium was designed with 2,4-dichlorophenoxycetic acid (2,4-D) at 0.0 or 9.0 μM, in comb...

Cloning of Pathogenesis-Related Genes From Ulmus americana
Challenge by pathogens causes the induction of a variety of genes in plants. These genes code for several pathogenesis related (PR) proteins that are believed to have roles in disease resistance. Very little i...
