Potential of wild species for genetic enhancement of some semi-arid food crops (2003, unknown): “The major barrier for introunderway to develop transformation methods for bothgression appears to be postzygotic failure of embryo sorghum and pearl millet (Sharma and Ortiz 2000).development.”
Recent developments in transgenics for abiotic stress in legumes of the semi-arid tropics (2002, background): “This ability has moved agriculture from a resource-based to a science-based industry (Sharma and Ortiz, 2000).”
Genetic Transformation of Crops for Insect Resistance: Potential and Limitations (2004, background): “The efficiency of tissue culture and transformation protocols is one of the most important components for successful generation of transgenic crops (Sharma and Ortiz, 2000b).”
Future challenges and opportunities for agricultural R&D in the semi-arid tropics. (2001, background): “A major bottleneck in ICRISAT's work on genetic transformation will be in the availability of novel genes and effective promoters for gene expression due to Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) (Sharma and Ortiz 2000).”
An efficient protocol for the regeneration of whole plants of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) by using axillary meristem explants derived from in vitro-germinated seedlings (2003, background): “new opportunities to enhance the germplasm of crop plants (Sharma and Ortiz, 2000).”
