[Achievements and problems of genetic engineering of Crucifereceae plants]
Abstract:
Plants of the Brassicaceae family are important oil, vegetable and feed crops. The review is devoted to the latest achievements in genetic engineering of plants from this family. Results concerning development of effective methods both of Agrobacteium-mediated transformation and of direct gene uptake are considered. Particularly, possibilities of plant genetic modification with the aim to improve agronomically and commercially important traits are stressed. Problems of biologically safe introduction of transgenic plants into agricultural production are discussed.

Transgenic Plants
The first-ever transgenic plant was a tobacco plant developed in 1983 that showed resistance against the tobacco mosaic virus. Since then, many transgenic plants have been developed and commercialized for improving the agricultural, ornamental, and horticultural value of a crop plant. Transgenic...

RNA is the Missing Link Between DNA and Proteins
In the early 1900s, scientists discovered that DNA stores all the information needed for cellular functions and that proteins perform most of these functions. However, the mechanisms of converting genetic information into functional proteins remained unknown for many years. Initially, it was believed that a single gene is...
