Transgenic Plants

Fructan as a New Carbohydrate Sink in Transgenic Potato Plants.

Fructans are polyfructose molecules that function as nonstructural storage carbohydrates in several plant species that are important crops. We have been studying plants for their ability to synthesize and degrade fructans to determine if this ability is advantageous. We have also been analyzing the ability to synthesize fructan in relation to other nonstructural carbohydrate storage forms like ...

Transgenic plants in phytoremediation: recent advances and new possibilities.

Phytoremediation, the use of plants and their associated microbes to remedy contaminated soils, sediments, and groundwater, is emerging as a cost-effective and environmentally friendly technology. Due in large part to its aesthetic appeal, this technology has gained increasing attention over the past 10 years. Phytoremediation uses different plant processes and mechanisms normally involved in t...

Transgenic plants as bioreactors

Recent advances in molecular and cellular biology have led to the development of technology to engineer plants that are capable of producing a wide variety of products. These include products for pharmaceutical applications, like vaccine antigens, antibodies, antibody-derived fragments and other therapeutic proteins. It is possible to alter endogenous metabolic pathways to obtain new products, ...
