How would you build a "better" tomato? Most likely, you'd select for genes in multiple locations—or quantitative trait loci (QTLs). Knowledge of QTLs is extremely valuable to crop scientists.

Validation using a transgenic hairy root system demonstrated ... offers an unprecedented look into the genetic reprogramming of tomato plants by root-knot nematodes. These findings not only ...

When plants genetically engineered to produce bacterial or viral proteins are consumed as food, they trigger a protective immune response in animals and humans. Mason, H.D., Larn, M.-K. & Arntzen ...
