The discovery of the CRISPR/Cas genome-editing system has revolutionized our understanding
of the plant genome. CRISPR/Cas has been used for over a decade to modify plant …

… At the molecular level, the upregulation of G-protein signaling and membrane potential
processes are reported to be the crucial mechanisms potentially protecting rice against salt stress …

Since the discovery that nucleases of the bacterial CRISPR (clustered regularly interspaced
palindromic repeat)‐associated (Cas) system can be used as easily programmable tools for …

Powdery mildew fungi are obligate biotrophic pathogens that only grow on living hosts and
cause damage in thousands of plant species. Despite their agronomical importance, little …

… Other than those in Figure 1G, we could not detect any further Btr and Btr-like sequences
in cv. Morex, based on the currently available barley genome sequence. This genomic …

A novel genetic transformation method for barley (Hordeum vulgare L.), based on infection
of androgenetic pollen cultures with Agrobacterium tumefaciens, is presented. Winter‐type …

Genetic transformation of crop plants offers the possibility of testing hypotheses about the
function of individual genes as well as the exploitation of transgenes for targeted trait …

Floret fertility is a key determinant of the number of grains per inflorescence in cereals. During
the evolution of wheat (Triticum sp.), floret fertility has increased, such that current bread …

… Correspondence should be addressed to Goetz Hensel, hensel@ipk-gatersleben.de …
Marthe, and G. Hensel, “Characters of transgenic plants and their application in plant production—…

Stable genetic transformation represents the gold standard approach to the detailed elucidation
of plant gene functions. This is particularly relevant in barley, an important experimental …
