Application of somatic embryogenesis for development of emerald ash borer-resistant white ash and green ash varietals.

Emerald ash borer (; EAB) has devastated populations of ash ( spp.) trees in dozens of U.S.

Enhanced arsenic tolerance of transgenic eastern cottonwood plants expressing gamma-glutamylcysteine synthetase.

Arsenic is a metalloid that occurs naturally at parts per million (ppm) levels in the earth's crust. Natural and human activities have contributed to arsenic mobilization and increased concentration in the environment, such that World Health Organization guidelines for arsenic levels in drinking water are exceeded at many locations, worldwide. This translates into an increased risk of arsenic-related illnesses for millions of people.

Adventitious shoot regeneration from leaf explants of eastern cottonwood (Populus deltoides) cultured under photoautotrophic conditions.

Effects of photoautotrophic and photomixotrophic growth conditions on adventitious shoot regeneration from leaf explants of eastern cottonwood (Populus deltoides Bartr. ex Marsh.) were investigated.

Coupling two mercury resistance genes in Eastern cottonwood enhances the processing of organomercury.

Eastern cottonwood (Populus deltoides Bartr. ex Marsh.) trees were engineered to express merA (mercuric ion reductase) and merB (organomercury lyase) transgenes in order to be used for the phytoremediation of mercury-contaminated soils.

Light quality treatments enhance somatic seedling production in three southern pine species.

Embryogenic cultures of loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.), slash pine (Pinus elliottii Engelm.), longleaf pine (Pinus palustris Mill.
