Development of a direct transformation method by GFP screening and in vitro whole plant regeneration of Capsicum frutescens L. (2018)
Journal Article
Chee, M. J. Y., Lycett, G. W., & Chin, C. F. (in press). Development of a direct transformation method by GFP screening and in vitro whole plant regeneration of Capsicum frutescens L. Electronic Journal of Biotechnology, 34, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ejbt.2018.05.005

Background Capsicum is a genus of important spice crop that belongs to the chili lineage. However, many Capsicum species (family Solanaceae) are known to be recalcitrant to genetic transformation and in vitro regeneration, thus hampering the effor...

Bioengineering of the plant culture of Capsicum frutescens with vanillin synthase gene for the production of vanillin (2016)
Journal Article
Chee, M. J. Y., Lycett, G. W., Khoo, T., & Chin, C. F. (in press). Bioengineering of the plant culture of Capsicum frutescens with vanillin synthase gene for the production of vanillin. Molecular Biotechnology, https://doi.org/10.1007/s12033-016-9986-2

Production of vanillin by bioengineering has gained popularity due to consumer demand towards vanillin produced by biological systems. Natural vanillin from vanilla beans is very expensive to produce compared to its synthetic counterpart. Current bio...

Impact of altered cell wall composition on saccharification efficiency in stem tissue of Arabidopsis RABA GTPase-deficient knockout mutants (2015)
Journal Article
Lunn, D., Ibbett, R., Tucker, G. A., & Lycett, G. W. (2015). Impact of altered cell wall composition on saccharification efficiency in stem tissue of Arabidopsis RABA GTPase-deficient knockout mutants. BioEnergy Research, 8(3), https://doi.org/10.1007/s12155-015-9599-9

Use of biomass for second-generation biofuel production is severely hindered by the inherent recalcitrance of the plant cell wall to digestion. Trafficking is crucial for compartmentalisation within the cell. This process is partly regulated by small...
