Modern Biotechnology as an Integral Supplement to Conventional Plant Breeding: The Prospects and Challenges (2006, methodology): “Engineering with antifungal genes could help produce crop plants resistant to fungal pathogens (Datta and Muthukrishnan, 1999; Dahleen et al., 2001; Jauhar and Khush, 2002; Sahrawat et al., 2003).”
Comprehending crystalline β-carotene accumulation by comparing engineered cell models and the natural carotenoid-rich system of citrus (2011, unknown): “The first identified toxin-resistance mechanism, reduced toxin uptake due to active efflux mediated by the yeast ABC transporter protein PDR5, does not seem to be effective in transgenic crops, despite initial encouraging reports (Dahleen et al., 2001).”
Genetic engineering of plants to enhance resistance to fungal pathogens—a review of progress and future prospects (2001, background): “In instances where only specific tissues need to be protected, e.g. leaves, fruit, or seed, or where the antifungal compounds need to be expressed at certain targeted sites in the cell, specific promoters would need to be identified (Bushnell et al. 1998; Dahleen et al. 2001).”
Methods for preventing, decontaminating and minimizing the toxicity of mycotoxins in feeds (2007, background): “Anti-Fusarium proteins may exist which if identified could be used for a transgenic approach to limit the risk of fungal infection (Dahleen et al., 2001).”
