Abstract:
Miniature form transposable elements (mTEs) are ubiquitous in plant genomes and directly linked to gene regulation and evolution. With the advantage of completely sequenced genomes of Brassica rapa and Brassica oleracea, an open-source web portal called, BrassicaTED was developed. This database provides a user-friendly interface to explore invaluable information of mTEs in Brassica species and unique visualization and comparison tools. In this chapter, we describe an overview of this database construction and explain the utilities of data search, visualization, and analysis tools. In addition, we show the possible obstacles users may encounter when using this database.

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...
