    Genetic transformation of tropical maize (Zea mays L.) inbred line with a phytase gene from Aspergillus niger

    A full-length cDNA of phyA gene of Aspergillus niger, encoding phytase enzyme, was cloned and expressed in E. coli BL21 cells and assayed for its activity. The phyA cDNA consisted of 1404 bp, which encoded 467 am...

    Transgenic rice as a system to study the stability of transgene expression: multiple heterologous transgenes show similar behaviour in diverse genetic backgrounds

    The success of contemporary breeding programmes involving genetic engineering depends on the stability of transgene expression over many generations. We studied the stability of transgene expression in 40 inde...
