Tissue specific expression of transgenes in plant species has several advantages over constitutive expression. Identification of ovule specific promoters would be useful in genetic engineering of plants with a variety of desirable traits such as genetically engineered parthenocarpy, female sterile plants or seedless fruits. Relative inaccessibility and difficulty in harvesting adequate amounts ...

phytoremediation has gained increasing attention in recent years because of its ability to clean up and redevelop brownfield sites. petroleum hydrocarbon-contaminated sites are among most prevalent industrial sites in iran as one of the top oil producers in the world, which are in great need of remediation to prevent associated environmental and human health risks. a greenhouse study was conduc...

the present work developed an efficient plant regeneration and propagation system via direct organogenesis for morinda officinalis how., a valuable endangered medicinal plant. the effects of explant types on shoot induction, plant growth regulators on shoot proliferationand elongation and the subsequent rooting ability of shoots were examined. among the various types of explant, direct shoot pr...
