We have developed a general method for electrically introducing DNA into plant cells. Gene
transfer occurs when a high-voltage electric pulse is applied to a solution containing …

Glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) are abundant proteins encoded by a highly divergent,
ancient gene family. Soluble GSTs form dimers, each subunit of which contains active sites that …

Using electroporation-mediated gene transfer, the gene encoding the Slow (S) migrating
polypeptide of the maize (Zea mays L.) alcohol dehydrogenase-1 (Adh1) enzyme has been …

The graminaceous monocots, including the economically important cereals, seem to be
refractory to infection by Agrobacterium tumefaciens 1 , a natural gene transfer system that has …

Abstract Changes in anthocyanin content and transcript abundance for genes whose
products function in general phenylpropanoid metabolism and the anthocyanin pathway were …

GLUTATHIONE S-transferases (GSTs) are enzymes that detoxify heterocyclic compounds (xenobiotics)
by covalently linking glutathione to the substrate, forming a glutathione S-…

Plant transformation has enabled fundamental insights into plant biology and revolutionized
commercial agriculture. Unfortunately, for most crops, transformation and regeneration …

Anthocyanin pathway-specific transcriptional activators R and C1 from the monocot maize
were expressed in two dicots, Arabidopsis thaliana and Nicotiana tabacum. Expression of R …

Diverse flavonoid compounds are widely distributed in angiosperm families. Flavonoids
absorb radiation in the ultraviolet (UV) region of the spectrum, and it has been proposed that …

The control of cell fate was investigated in the root epidermis of Arabidopsis thaliana . Two
distinct types of differentiated epidermal cells are normally present: root-hair-bearing Cells …
