Abstract:
Gregor Mendel's study of the common garden pea (Pisum sativum) provided the fundamentals for modern genetics and plant breeding and highlighted the utility and value of model organisms. One hundred and forty-three years later, insight into the genome structure of a model legume, Lotus japonicus, might provide the key to sustainable agriculture.

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...
