Evaluation of factors influencing Agrobacterium-mediated spinach transformation and transformant selection by EGFP fluorescence under low-selective pressure
We developed an efficient Agrobacterium-mediated transformation protocol for spinach (Spinacia oleracea L.) that uses root-derived callus. Evaluation of this protocol was based on the systematic evaluation of fac...

The genetic constitutions of complementary genes Pp and Pb determine the purple color variation in pericarps with cyanidin-3-O-glucoside depositions in black rice
The purple pericarp color in rice was controlled by two dominant complementary genes, Pb and Pp. Crossing black rice ‘Heugnambyeo’ variants with three varieties of white pericarp rice gave a segregation ratio of ...

Use of herbicide-resistant genic male sterility in hybrid rice seed production
One of the difficult problems in hybrid rice seed production is the low outcrossing frequency and requirement for much labor to produce hybrid seeds. In order to simplify the process of hybrid rice seed produc...

Genetic characterization and fine map** of a novel thermo-sensitive genic male-sterile gene tms6 in rice (Oryza sativa L.)
The application of genetic male sterility in hybrid rice production has great potential to revolutionize hybrid seed production methodology. The two-line breeding system by using thermo-sensitive genic male st...
