Isolating plant genes

Trends in Biotechnology, 1993
The genetic transformation of most agriculturally important plant species is now possible. However, the application of this technology to rational plant-improvement is currently limited by a shortage of cloned genes for important traits. Recent technological advances in plant-gene isolation and identification, such as map-based cloning, insertional ...

Tetraspanin genes in plants

Plant Science, 2012
Tetraspanins represent a four-transmembrane protein superfamily with a conserved structure and amino acid residues that are present in mammals, insects, fungi and plants. Tetraspanins interact with each other or with other membrane proteins to form tetraspanin-enriched microdomains that play important roles in development, pathogenesis and immune ...

Antisense genes in plants: an overview

Gene, 1988
Plants are the first multicellular higher eukaryotic organisms in which artificial antisense genes have been shown to down-regulate target gene expression. Manipulations with an antisense gene can serve as a tool to study the effect of a particular plant gene inactivation, the interaction of gene products whose genes are coordinately expressed, or the ...

Plant Gene Clusters and Opiates

Science, 2012
A variety of poppy that produces high amounts of an alkaloid opiate requires a cluster of genes that encode key biosynthetic enzymes.

Gene transfer strategies in plants

Biotechnology Advances, 1992
In recent years, a large number of gene transfer methods have been developed. However, the results of these studies have often been published in such a way that it has been extremely difficult for researchers to assess the reliability and efficiency of the method, and to judge whether or not integrative transformation has occurred.

Transcriptional gene silencing in plants

Russian Journal of Genetics, 2010
The review presents current data on molecular genetic mechanisms of suppression of the gene (transgene) expression in plants at the transcriptional level. The stages of RNA-directed DNA methylation are discussed in detail. Mutations affecting transcriptional gene inactivation without altering nucleotide sequence methylation are described.

Gene-For-Gene Complementarity In Plant-Pathogen Interactions

Annual Review of Genetics, 1990
The cloning of avirulence genes has greatly aided our understanding of plant-pathogen specificity. It has proven that the gene-for-gene relationship first noted by Flor is correct--single avirulence gene encoding single protein products indeed are the genetic elements that interact with plant disease resistance genes. Furthermore, firm genetic evidence

Plant Regulators: Insensitivity is in the genes

Current Biology, 1994
The cloning of loci determining abscisic acid insensitivity in Arabidopsis has identified a phosphatase and a transcriptional activator that mediate responses to abscisic acid and so regulate plant growth and development.
