Genetic transformation of plants has revolutionized both basic and applied plant research. Plant molecular biology and physiology benefit from this power fool, as well as biotechnology. This book is a review of some of the most significant achievements that plant transformation has brought to the fields of Agrobacterium biology, crop improvement and, flower, fruit and tree amelioration. Also, it examines their impact on molecular farming, phytoremediation and RNAi tools.
Sustainable Life on Land, the fifteenth UN Sustainable Development Goal (SDG 15), calls for the protection, restoration and promotion of the sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems. Among others, it requires societies to sustainably manage forests, halt and reverse land degradation, combat desertification, and halt biodiversity loss. Despite the fact that protection of terrestrial ecosystems is on the rise worldwide and forest loss has slowed, the recent IPBES report concluded that “nature is declining globally at rates unprecedented in human history”. Consequently, the United Nations General Assembly recently declared 2021–2030 the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration. There is no dou...
It is 2053. We are halfway into the bioengineering century. Miraculous medical advances have extended life spans for some but the correlation between health and wealth, existing even at the turn of the century, has become so extreme that many in the United States cannot afford full medical coverage. Periodic terrorist attacks are the aftermath of three wars in the Middle East. These problems and others have poisoned the body politic. A small group of well-meaning government and industry leaders, who believed they had the right answers to these problems, came together twenty years earlier to ensure that they would stay in power as long as possible. This novel is about how that plan goes terri...
This volume details Agrobacterium strain methods, such as plant genotype, transient and stable transformation of plants for gene overexpression, silencing, transplastomic and editing. Transformation protocols are focused mainly in plants with economic importance such as cereals and fruit trees including diploids and polyploids, and in non-plant species such fungi and algae. Written in the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series format, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and key tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls. Authoritative and cutting-edge, Agrobacterium: Methods and Protocols aims to be a useful and practical guide to new researchers and experts looking to expand their knowledge.
