    Abstract: Genetic transformation is a key technology, in which genes are transferred from one organism to another in order to improve agronomic traits and ultimately help humans. However, there is apprehension in some quarters that genetically modified crops may disturb the ecosystem. A number of non-governmental organizations continue to protest against GM crops and foods, despite the fact that many organisms are genetically modified naturally in the course of evolution. In this context, there is a need to educate the public about the importance of GM crops in terms of food and nutritional security. This book provides an overview of various crop plants where genetic transformation has been successfully implemented to improve their agronomically useful traits. It includes information on the gene(s) transferred, the method of gene transfer and the beneficial effects of these gene transfers and agronomic improvements compared to the wild plants. Further, it discusses the commercial prospects of these GM crops as well as the associated challenges. Given its scope, this book is a valuable resource for agricultural and horticultural scientists/experts wanting to explain to the public, politicians and non-governmental organizations the details of GM crops and how they can improve crops and the lives of farmers.

    Salt stress in cultured rice cells: effects of proline and abscisic acid (1989)
    Oxford, UK : Blackwell Publishing Ltd
    Plant, cell & environment 12 (1989), S. 0 
    Details
    ISSN: 1365-3040
    Source: Blackwell Publishing Journal Backfiles 1879-2005
    Topics: Biology
    Notes: Abstract. The presence of 1 and 10 mol m−3 proline in media containing 100 and 200 mol m−3 of NaCl, had little effect on the growth of salt-adapted callus of rice. However, in such callus proline accumulation was stimulated by 10 mol m−3 proline in the presence of 100 mol m−3 NaCl. On the other hand, with 100 mol m−3 NaCl, both 1 and 10 mol m−3 proline significantly increased both the growth and proline content of salt-unadapted callus. On replacing NaCl with KCl (100 and 200 mol m−3), growth of saltadapted as well as unadapted callus was inhibited, but the presence of 10 mol m−3 proline had an ameliorating effect. Abscisic acid (ABA) supressed the growth of both salt-adapted and unadapted callus of rice in the absence of salt stress. ABA inhibited the growth of callus adapted to and grown in 100 and 200 mol m−3 of NaCl or when it was replaced by equimolar concentrations of KCl. Growth of 100 mol m−3 NaCl adapted cells was inhibited when they were transferred to a medium containing 200 mol m−3 of NaCl, but in the presence of ABA it was stimulated. ABA increased the growth of unadapted cells when subjected to different salts. Also, ABA accelerated the adaptation of cells exposed to salt but not to water deficits imposed by nonionic solutes.

    Aromatic amino acid metabolism during organogenesis in rice callus cultures (1989)
    Oxford, UK : Blackwell Publishing Ltd
    Physiologia plantarum 75 (1989), S. 0 
    Details
    ISSN: 1399-3054
    Source: Blackwell Publishing Journal Backfiles 1879-2005
    Topics: Biology
    Notes: The activity during root and shoot initiation of key enzymes involved in aromatic amino acid metabolism was examined in rice (Oryza sativa L. cv. Bala) callus cultures. Increased activities of the enzymes quinate:NAD+ oxidoreductase (EC 1.1.1.24), shikimate kinase (EC 2.7.1.71), chorismate mutase (EC 5.4.99.5), anthranilate synthase (EC 4.1.3.27) and tryptophan synthetase (EC 4.2.1.20) were noticed in organ-forming callus compared to proliferating callus of rice, especially prior to the visible manifestation of form. These results suggest a correlation between organogenesis and the aromatic amino acid pathway.

    In vitro propagation of guayule (Parthenium argentatum) — a rubber yielding shrub (1989)
    Springer
    Plant cell reports 8 (1989), S. 489-492 
    Details
    ISSN: 1432-203X
    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Biology
    Notes: Abstract Nodal explants (0.5 to 0.8 cm long) isolated from 2-year old shrubs of guayule, Parthenium argentatum Gray, when cultured on MS medium supplemented with different concentrations of KN, BAP, 2,4-D, 2,4-D + BAP, NAA and NAA + BAP produced callus tissues and shoots simultaneously with varying frequencies. Shoots were regenerated with a high frequency (80–88%) from callus on MS medium containing NAA + BAP with or without glutamine. Addition of glutamine to these media improved considerably the number of shoots formed from a known amount of callus. Shoots could be regenerated from 200 day old callus cultures with a very high frequency but the organogenetic capacity declined thereafter. Increase in the concentration of sucrose (upto 4%) significantly enhanced the shoot forming ability of callus, but higher concentrations (6%) suppressed it. Rooting was induced only in dark when IAA, IBA and NAA were used, but 2,4-D could induce them both in light and dark. The system is suitable for the mass propagation of this important rubber yielding plant.

    Regeneration of plants from long-term cultures of Oryza sativa L. (1986)
    Springer
    Plant cell reports 5 (1986), S. 391-393 
    Details
    ISSN: 1432-203X
    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Biology
    Notes: Abstract Root and embryo derived callus tissues of rice grown on sucrose alone as carbon source lost their ability to organise shoots by 75 and 100 days in culture respectively. Along with 2% sucrose, either 3% sorbitol or 3% mannitol was found to be necessary in the growth medium for the callus to regenerate whole plants over a period of 1400 days without any decline in the shoot forming ability. Our results indicated that incorporation of sorbitol or mannitol in the callus proliferating medium provides long-term totipotent rice cultures with a high frequency (50–60%) of shoot differentiation.

    Plant regeneration from cotyledons of niger (1993)
    Springer
    Plant cell, tissue and organ culture 32 (1993), S. 131-135

    ISSN: 1573-5044
    Keywords: callus ; Guizotia abyssinica Cass
    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Biology
    Notes: Abstract Callus initiation from seedling explants of niger (Guizotia abyssinica Cass) cv. Ootacamund was found to be better on LS medium containing kinetin (1.4 μM) plus 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (9 μM) than its analogues. Embryoids were induced directly from cotyledons on LS medium supplemented with 2,4,5-trichlorophenoxyacetic acid and 2,4,5-trichlorophenoxypropionic acid. When cotyledon-derived callus was subcultured onto medium with 10.7 μM naphthalene-acetic acid and 2.3 μM kinetin, embryogenesis was observed. Multiple shoots were obtained from cotyledonary explants in presence of MS medium containing 4.4 μM benzyladenine and 11.4 μM indoleacetic acid. Regenerated plants that were transferred to pots and grown to maturity were morphologically normal and fertile.
