Expression of the insecticidal lectin from snowdrop (Galanthus nivalis agglutinin; GNA) in transgenic wheat plants: effects on predation by the grain aphid Sitobion avenae.
TL;DR: It is proposed that transgenic approaches using insecticidal genes such as gna in combination with integrated pest management present promising opportunities for the control of damaging wheat pests.

Plantibodies: applications, advantages and bottlenecks.
TL;DR: Recent research developments focus on the fine-tuning of expression systems and the detailed characterisation of recombinant products, including the implications of plant-specific glycosylation.

The potential of genetically enhanced plants to address food insecurity
Paul Christou,Richard M. Twyman +1 more
TL;DR: A range of transgenic approaches that could increase agricultural productivity if applied on a large scale are discussed, including the introduction of genes that confer resistance to pests and diseases, or tolerance of harsh environments, and genes that help to lift the intrinsic yield capacity by increasing metabolic flux towards storage carbohydrates, proteins and oils.
