Antifungal activity of stilbenes in in vitro bioassays and in transgenic Populus expressing a gene encoding pinosylvin synthase
The effect of two stilbene compounds, pinosylvin and resveratrol, on the growth of several fungi was evaluated in plate tests. Wood decay tests were carried out with birch and aspen samples impregnated with th...

Improvement of malting quality of barley by complementing the malt enzyme spectrum
The processing quality of cereals can be modified by altering the structural grain constituents or the enzyme activities that mobilize storage reserves of the seeds. In order to complement the malt enzyme spec...

Transgenic barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) by electroporation of protoplasts
Protoplasts isolated from calli derived from cultured microspores of barley (Hordeum vulgare L. cv. Kymppi, an elite cultivar) were transformed with the neomycin phosphotransferase marker gene (nptII) by electrop...

Stable transformation of barley tissue culture by particle bombardment
Suspension culture cells of barley (Hordeum vulgare L. cv Pokko) were stably transformed with two separate plasmids containing genes coding for neomycin phosphotransferase II and β-glucuronidase, respectively. Tr...

Regulation of α-amylase promoter by gibberellic acid and abscisic acid in barley protoplasts transformed by electroporation
Transient gene expression was studied in isolated protoplasts of barley (Hordeum vulgare L. cv Himalaya) transformed by electroporation. Two plasmid constructions were used, both of which contained the gene codin...

Insertion polymorphism in pea chloroplast DNA
The chloroplast DNA of higher plants is suitable for restriction endonuclease analysis due to its size and homogeneity. We have analysed 48 different cultivars of pea (Pisum sativum) with EcoRI and HindIII. Of th...
