Abstract:
... We describe a novel plant transformation technique, termed "agrolistic," that combines the advantages of the Agrobacterium transformation system with the high efficiency of biolistic DNA delivery. Agrolistic transformation allows integration of the gene of interest without undesired vector sequence. The virulence genes virD1 and rirD2 from Agrobacterium tumefaciens that are required in bacteria fo ...

METHODS: 1215 Italian children 6-10 ys old were interviewed using a CATI facility in January 2010. 608 "snackers" and 607 "no-snackers" were identified. Information regarding family composition, child and ...

In line with these results, bioinformatic analysis provides compelling evidence that " ...
