The soil bacterium Agrobaeterium tumefaciens can infect almost all dicotyledonous plants (Braun 1978, 1982). As a result of the infection, the wound tissue proliferates as a neoplastic growth, commonly referred to as a crown gall tumor. Once induced, the tumor no longer requires the presence of the bacteria to grow, and can be cultivated in vitro as an

Over the past 50 years or so, conventional plant breeding, combined with improved agricultural practices and modern technology, has contributed to a dramatic increase in the production of plants for food. Not all countries have achieved the same increase in food production, however, and many are unable to feed their own populations.

Prospects in genetic engineering of plants
Quarterly Reviews of Biophysics, 1974Genetic engineering has quite rightly an image of science fiction. The time when new species with any wanted combination of genetic properties can be ordered from an animal or plant breeding factory seems far away. The layman's view that the science fiction of today is the reality of tomorrow is certainly an insufficient argument to justify optimism ...

Genetic Engineering of Forest Woody Plants
Russian Journal of Genetics, 2003The present state of genetic engineering (GE) of forest woody plants is considered with special reference to the materials of the International Conference "Wood, Breeding, Biotechnology and Industrial Expectations" held in France in June, 2001. Main tree species subjected to GE are listed, aims of constructing transgenic plants discussed, and methods ...

Plant genetic engineering for crop improvement
World Journal of Microbiology & Biotechnology, 1995Plant genetic engineering has long since left its experimental stage: transgenic plants with resistance to viruses, bacteria, fungi, various pests and abiotic stresses have already been released in their hundreds. Transgenic plants can produce better fruits and food of higher quality than wild-types, and can be used as bioreactors for the synthesis of ...

Overview of Plant Genetic Engineering
Journal of Natural Resources and Life Sciences Education, 2003Genetic engineering of a crop species requires the completion of several major steps and the combined efforts of diverse scientists. These steps include: (i) locating an organism with a specific trait and extracting its DNA; (ii) cloning a gene that controls the trait; (iii) designing a gene to express in a specific way; (iv) transformation of the gene

Plant Biotechnology. Genetic Engineering to Enhance Plant Salt Tolerance.
Journal of Bioscience and Bioengineering, 2002Plants not only provide food to humans and animals, but also provide a large number of non-food products of industrial and chemical importance. Moreover, they have the ability to purify the air, soil and water on the earth. Various trials to genetically improve the potential of plants are actively in progress.

Cell genetic engineering: Transmission genetics of plants
Cytology and Genetics, 2017It has been described achievements of cell and genetic engineering that led to formation of new genetics chapter – transmission genetics. It has been analyzed results and showed new opportunities in the field of transgenomic somatic hybrids and cybrid obtaining, production of transgenic plants with agronomic pharmaceutical application, development of ...
