Evaluation of factors influencing Agrobacterium-mediated spinach transformation and transformant selection by EGFP fluorescence under low-selective pressure

We developed an efficient Agrobacterium-mediatQd transformation protocol for spinach (Spinacia oleracea L.) that uses root-derived callus. Evaluation of this protocol was based on the systematic ...

Possible new twist in GM safety debate

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 ...
