The barley HvNAC6 transcription factor affects ABA accumulation and promotes basal resistance against powdery mildew
Barley HvNAC6 is a member of the plant-specific NAC (NAM, ATAF1,2, CUC2) transcription factor family and we have shown previously that it acts as a positive regulator of basal resistance in barley against the bio...

Open AccessUCE: A uracil excision (USER™)-based toolbox for transformation of cereals
Cloning of gene casettes and other DNA sequences into the conventional vectors for biolistic or Agrobacterium-mediated transformation is hampered by a limited amount of unique restriction sites and by the difficu...
