Journal ArticleDOI
Stress-induced expression in wheat of the Arabidopsis thaliana DREB1A gene delays water stress symptoms under greenhouse conditions
Alessandro Pellegrineschi,Matthew P. Reynolds,Mario Pacheco,R. M. Brito,Rosaura Almeraya,Kazuko Yamaguchi-Shinozaki,David Hoisington +6 more
TL;DR: In efforts to enhance drought tolerance in wheat, the A. thaliana DREB1A gene was placed under control of a stress-inducible promoter from the rd29A gene and transferred via biolistic transformation into bread wheat, which demonstrated substantial resistance to water stress in comparison with checks under experimental greenhouse conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sink-limitation to yield and biomass: a summary of some investigations in spring wheat.
TL;DR: The results suggest that RUE can be increased indirectly by increasing sink strength and that the current yield limiting process in spring wheat is the determination of kernel number.
Journal ArticleDOI
Identification of highly transformable wheat genotypes for mass production of fertile transgenic plants.
Alessandro Pellegrineschi,L. M. Noguera,B. Skovmand,R. M. Brito,L. Velazquez,M. Salgado,Rebeca Hernández,Marilyn L. Warburton,David Hoisington +8 more
TL;DR: This paper analyzes the transformation efficiency of the 129 wheat sister lines generically called 'Bobwhite', originally obtained from the cross 'Aurora'//'Kalyan'/'Bluebird 3'/'Woodpecker', to identify the most adaptable line(s) for different lab conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Analysis of promoters in transgenic barley and wheat.
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the Isa and Em promoters can be used as strong promoters to direct transgenes in specific tissues of barley and wheat grain and adds value to a promoter toolbox for utility in plant biotechnology.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effect of pretreatment with mild heat and drought stresses on the explant and biolistic transformation frequency of three durum wheat cultivars
Alessandro Pellegrineschi,R. M. Brito,L. Velazquez,L. M. Noguera,W. Pfeiffer,S. McLean,David Hoisington +6 more
TL;DR: The data suggest that variations in transformation were frequently influenced by differences in the genotypes and physiological status of the donor plant, rather than by the efficiency of the particle bombardment procedure.
