Bacterial Resistance in Plants | Genetics

In this article we will discuss about the bacterial resistance in plants. T4 Lysozyme: Several bacterial pathogens are responsible for enormous losses in cultivated and stored crops. Therefore, protection of plants from pathogenic bacteria is also a primary concern among plant scientists. Genetic engineering offers some good protection against bacterial attack. In one of the classic case studies, a novel [...]

Fungal Resistance in Plants | Genetics

In this article we will discuss about the fungal resistance in plants. Several agricultural crops are severly damaged by fungal infections, which result in dra­matic yield loss. The spread of fungal disease can be combated by conventional strategies like breeding for resistance by variation of the cultural practice and by fungicide treatment. How­ever, a promising alternation that has emerged recently [...]
