Optimisation of transformation conditions and production of transgenic sorghum (Sorghum bicolor) via microparticle bombardment
AbstractConditions for microparticle bombardment were optimised for four explant types of sorghum Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench based on transient expression of the uidA reporter gene. The tested… Expand

Intergeneric asymmetric hybrids between Nicotiana plumbaginifolia and Atropa belladonna obtained by “gamma-fusion”
SummaryAsymmetric nuclear hybrids have been obtained by fusion of cells from a nitrate-reductase deficient mutant of Nicotiana plumbaginifolia (cnx20) and gamma irradiated protoplasts of Atropa… Expand

Overexpression of ornithine-δ-aminotransferase increases proline biosynthesis and confers osmotolerance in transgenic plants
Accumulationof proline is a way to increase tolerance to water stress in plants. Therefore,considerable attention has been devoted to optimise proline biosynthesis intransgenic plants. Glutamate and… Expand

Threonine Accumulation in a Mutant of Arabidopsis thaliana (L.) Heynh. with an Altered Aspartate Kinase
Summary After mutagenesis, M 2 seedlings of Arabidopsis thaliana were grown on a selective medium containing toxic concentrations of lysine and threonine. One of the LT-resistant mutants (RLT 40) was… Expand

The Arabidopsis thaliana dhdps gene encoding dihydrodipicolinate synthase, key enzyme of lysine biosynthesis, is expressed in a cell-specific manner
Lysine synthesis in prokaryotes, some phycomycetes and higher plants starts with the condensation of L-aspartate-β-semialdehyde (L-ASA) and pyruvate into dihydrodipicolinic acid. The enzyme that… Expand

Lysine overproducer mutants with an altered dihydrodipicolinate synthase from protoplast culture of Nicotiana sylvestris (Spegazzini and Comes)
SummaryTwo S-(2-aminoethyl)L-cysteine (AEC) resistant lines were isolated by screening mutagenized protoplasts from diploid N. sylvestris plants. Both lines accumulated free lysine at levels 10 to… Expand
