TL;DR: It is demonstrated that it is possible to significantly reduce cottonseed-gossypol levels in a stable and heritable manner and illustrates that a targeted genetic modification, applied to an underutilized agricultural byproduct, provides a mechanism to open up a new source of nutrition for hundreds of millions of people.

TL;DR: Insect bioassays and feeding studies showed that GNA expressed in the transgenic rice plants decreased survival and overall fecundity of the insects, retarded insect development, and had a deterrent effect on BPH feeding.

TL;DR: The correlation between growth and the [Ca2+]i gradient in the apical portion of the pollen tube is discussed in relation to previous reports that have suggested that such a gradient should exist during polarized growth.

TL;DR: It is shown that the expression of the 35S promoter was developmentally regulated during embryo development and that beyond a certain stage during embryogenesis, the promoter was expressed in most cell and tissue types in cotton albeit at different levels.

TL;DR: Cotton and tobacco plants transformed with a cDNA clone encoding a 42 kDa endochitinase from the mycoparasitic fungus, Trichoderma virens showed significant resistance to both pathogens.
