abiotic stress such as cold and drought has adverse effects on plants growth and development. abiotic stress resistance is one of the most important goals in plant breeding. this goal can be achieved through transcription factor gene transfer to plants. recent studies show many successes in improving abiotic stress resistance by use of transcription factor gene transfer. the objective of the re...

transgene integration and expression in host plant is quite unpredictable and is considered as the major problem in plant transformation. the variation in transgene copy number in transgenic plants influences the expression level and is one of such complication. in many plant species, the analysis of transgenic plants has shown that independent transgenic plants have one to many copies of trans...

background: plants are among promising and suitable platform systems for production of recombinant biopharmaceutical proteins due to several features such as safety, no need for fermentation, inexpensive investment, and fast and easy scale-up. human insulin is one of the most widely used medicines in the world. up to now different expression systems including escherichia coli, yeast and cho hav...
