Other papers survey genetically modified ornamental plants, techniques for removing marker genes from transgenic plants, progress in lignin biosynthesis, and the biosynthesis and remodulation of cell wall polysaccharides.
United States Department of Veterans Affairs (Washington, DC) has patented a transgenic screen and method for screening biological and chemical test substances or molecules for their ability to influence or modulate the production of BDNF in cells, includes a fusion gene having a zebrafish BDNF gene fragment (promoter) and a fluorescent marker gene inserted downstream of the BDNF gene fragment.
