Main conclusion Agrobacterium -mediated transformation of Nicotiana tabacum , using an intragenic T-DNA region derived entirely from the N. tabacum genome, results in the equivalence of micro-translocations within genomes. Abstract Intragenic Agrobacterium -mediated gene transfer was achieved in Nicotiana tabacum using a T-DNA composed entirely of N. tabacum DNA, including T-DNA borders and the acetohydroxyacid synthase gene c...

The rosette‐forming group of Brachyglottis (Asteraceae: Senecioneae) is a New Zealand endemic species complex in which five species are currently recognised. Although there are clear morphological differences between some members of this group (for example, in trichome characters), morphological intermediates and sites where plants display considerable variation in diagnostic characters are common. Using existing keys and desc...

The rise of food security up international political, societal and academic agendas has led to increasing interest in novel means of improving primary food production and reducing waste. There are however, also many ‘post-farm gate’ activities that are critical to food security, including processing, packaging, distributing, retailing, cooking and consuming. These activities all affect a range of important food security elemen...
