Journal ArticleDOI
Expression of an Antimicrobial Peptide via the Chloroplast Genome to Control Phytopathogenic Bacteria and Fungi
TL;DR: Genetically engineering crop plants for disease resistance via the chloroplast genome instead of the nuclear genome is desirable to achieve high levels of expression and to prevent pollen-mediated escape of transgenes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Induction of Highly Embryogenic Calli and Plant Regeneration in Upland (Gossypium hirsutum L.) and Pima (Gossypium barbadense L.) Cottons
TL;DR: To the authors' knowledge, this is the first report of regeneration of G. barbadense through somatic embryogenesis through somatics embryogenesis of diverse cotton species.
Journal ArticleDOI
Transgenic expression of a gene encoding a synthetic antimicrobial peptide results in inhibition of fungal growth in vitro and in planta.
TL;DR: Compared to negative controls, tobacco plants expressing the D4E1 gene showed greater levels of disease resistance in planta to the fungal pathogen, Colletotrichum destructivum, which causes anthracnose.
Journal ArticleDOI
Embryos and Plantlets from Cultured Anthers of Hybrid Grapevines
Journal ArticleDOI
Enhanced salt stress tolerance of rice plants expressing a vacuolar H+-ATPase subunit c1 (SaVHAc1) gene from the halophyte grass Spartina alterniflora Löisel
