Evaluating exogenous protein expressed in transgenic crops is one of the most effective methods of assessing the safety of transgenic plants. The objective of this study was to assess the food safety of genetically mo...
Rice is one of the most important crops as the staple food for more than half of the world's population. Rice improvement has achieved remarkable success in the past half-century, with the yield doubled in most parts ...

Nod factors, which are signaling molecules produced by Rhizobia, are the principal determinants of host specificity in Rhizobium-legume symbiosis. Nod factors can elicit a number of characteristic developmental respon...
d-OAT, ornithine--aminotransferase, is the key enzyme involved in proline biosynthesis. In this study the Arabidopsis d -OAT gene was transferred into rice (Oryza sativa L. ssp japonica cv. Zhongzuo 321), whose succes...
In order to improve the carbon-assimilation ability of C3 plants, we isolated a C4-specific photosynthetic enzyme gene, Ppc (encode phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase, PEPCase) from the genome of the C4 plant, sorghum, a...
