Journal ArticleDOI
Engineering the Provitamin A (β-Carotene) Biosynthetic Pathway into (Carotenoid-Free) Rice Endosperm
TL;DR: Recombinant DNA technology was used to improve the nutritional value of rice, and a combination of transgenes enabled biosynthesis of provitamin A in the endosperm.
Journal ArticleDOI
Transgenic rice (Oryza sativa) endosperm expressing daffodil (Narcissus pseudonarcissus) phytoene synthase accumulates phytoene, a key intermediate of provitamin A biosynthesis
P. K. Burkhardt,Peter Beyer,J. Wünn,Andreas Klöti,Gregory A. Armstrong,Michael Schledz,Johannes von Lintig,Ingo Potrykus +7 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated for the first time that it is in principle possible to engineer a critical step in provitamin A biosynthesis in a non-photosynthetic, carotenoid-lacking plant tissue.
Journal ArticleDOI
Gene transfer by electroporation into intact scutellum cells of wheat embryos.
TL;DR: Gene transfer into intact cells was achieved by electroporating zygotic wheat embryos without any special pretreatment by using plasmids carrying either two chimeric anthocyanin regulatory genes or a chimeric gusA gene for clear identification of transformed cells in the scutellum.
Book ChapterDOI
Standard Molecular Techniques for the Analysis of Transgenic Plants
J. Fütterer,Andreas Gisel,Victor A. Iglesias,Andreas Klöti,Benedikt Kost,O. Mittelsten Scheid,G. Neuhaus,G. Neuhaus-Url,M. Schrott,R. Shillito,German Spangenberg,Z. Y. Wang +11 more
TL;DR: In the following sections, a series of step-by-step protocols for standard molecular techniques widely used in the characterization of transgenic plants and in gene expression studies with plant cells are compiled.
Book ChapterDOI
PEG-mediated direct gene transfer and electroporation
TL;DR: For many years of genetic manipulation in plants, direct uptake of naked DNA by plant protoplasts has been the sole alternative to Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated gene transfer, and protoplast transformation mediated by PEG or electroporation was substantially simplified.
