TL;DR: The results indicate that the human β1,4-galactosyltransferase is fully functional and localizes correctly in the Golgi apparatus, a major step in the in planta engineering of the N-glycosylation of recombinant antibodies.

TL;DR: In this article, an introgression analysis of an IL population derived from a cross between Solanum lycopersicum 'Moneyberg' and the wild species Solanian chmielewskii revealed three ILs with a pink fruit color.

TL;DR: A novel strategy to obtain parthenocarpic tomatoes by down-regulation of the flavonoid biosynthesis pathway using RNA interference (RNAi)-mediated suppression of chalcone synthase (CHS), the first gene in the Flavonoid pathway is proposed.

TL;DR: It is shown that MYB28 and MYB29 are partially redundant, but in the absence of both, the synthesis of all aliphatic glucosinolates is blocked, and since the myb28myb29 double mutant is the first Arabidopsis genotype without any aliphatics, its relevance to herbivory by larvae of the lepidopteran insect Mamestra brassicae is established.

TL;DR: The results on genetic engineering of flavonoids in tomato fruit demonstrate the possibilities to change the levels and composition of health-related polyphenols in a crop plant and provide more insight in the genetic and biochemical regulation of the flavonoid pathway within this worldwide important vegetable.
