“…For example, genes coding for citrate synthase have been introduced into tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum; de la Fuente et al, 1997), Arabidopsis (Koyama et al, 2000), canola (Brassica napus; Anoop et al, 2003), and alfalfa (Medicago sativa; Barone et al, 2008), and genes coding for malate dehydrogenase have been introduced into tobacco and alfalfa (Tesfaye et al, 2001). Similarly, genes related to protection from oxidative stress including manganese superoxide dismutase, dehydroascorbate reductase, peroxidase, and glutathione S-transferase have also been introduced into plants (Ezaki et al, 2000;Basu et al, 2001;Yin et al, 2010).…”
