Seed-specific stable expression of the α-ai1 inhibitor in coffee grains and the in vivo implications for the development of the coffee berry borer- Academic Article uri icon

Resumen

  • Genetic transformation of coffee ( Coffea spp.), the second most traded commodity worldwide, is an alternative approach to introducing features that cannot be introgressed by traditional crossings. Thetransgenic stability, heritability and quantitative and spatial expression patterns of the seed-specificpromoter phytohemagglutinin (PHA-L) from Phaseolus vulgaris were characterized in genetically modified C. arabica expressing the α-amylase inhibitor-1 ( α-AI1 ) gene.
