The following points highlight the five novel transgenic approaches for herbicide tolerance. The approaches are: 1. Glyphosate Resistance 2. Glyphosate Resistance by over expression of EPSPS Gene 3. Cytochrome p450 Mediated Tolerance 4. Engineering Herbicide Tolerance by p450 5. Overexpression of At PgP, or Apyrase. Approach # 1. Glyphosate Resistance: Majority of the weeds in the world can be destroyed [...]
Two types of HDGS have been categorised: 1. Transcriptional Gene Silencing (TGS) 2. Post-Transcriptional Gene Silencing (PTGS). Type # 1. Transcriptional Gene Silencing (TGS): Transcriptional gene silencing (TGS) is a gene silencing mechanism in which inactivation of (trans) gene specific RNA synthesis takes place. These are predominently observed in transgenic plants containing multiple copies of homologous transgene or endogenous gene. [...]
In this article we will discuss about the controlling of fruit ripening in banana, water melon and apple. Extended Longevity of Banana Fruit: Banana is a staple food for nearly more than 450 million people particularly from developing world. They are ranked second in the world next to grapes. Banana is a climacteric fruit as tomatoes. Therefore, it is possible [...]
