Rice (Oryza sativa L.), the staple that feeds over half of the globe, has undergone significant transformation and regeneration advancements over the last two decades. Although agrobacterium-mediated ...

These mutations improve biocontainment, transformation stability, and overall performance in genetic engineering of plants. Complementing the strains, researchers also developed new plasmids and a ...

Adapted from a news release by the Innovative Genomics Institute (IGI) at UC Berkeley. The ability to genetically engineer plants is largely thanks to a microscopic helper: a bacterium called ...

Agrobacterium-mediated transformation is being used as an alternative method for improving the conventional breeding. In this study, immature embryos (IEs) of oil palm are chosen as explants for ...

Scientists at the University of Bristol have discovered a previously unknown route by which GM genes may escape into the natural environment. By studying plant-fungi-bacteria interactions at plant ...

The ability to genetically engineer plants is largely thanks to a microscopic helper: a bacterium called Agrobacterium tumefaciens. Agrobacterium in the wild causes damaging tumors in flowering plants ...
