From analysis of mutants to genetic engineering

Annu Rev Plant Biol. 2007:58:1-19. doi: 10.1146/annurev.arplant.58.032806.104003.

Abstract

This chapter describes the research of developing transgenic barley for synthesis of recombinant proteins with practical significance and of metabolic engineering of proanthocyanidin-free barley. The results were obtained by graduate students, postdoctoral researchers, and visiting scientists at the Carlsberg Laboratory from 1972-1996 and during the past ten years at Washington State University. It is written in appreciation of their enthusiasm, skill, and perseverance.
