In this article we will discuss about the antisense RNA in cut flower industry. Presently, cut flower industry is billion dollar business worldwide and extends trade of worth over 25 billion US dollar per annum. Several major countries particularly Germany, Netherland, TTS share a major chunk of cut flower business and their market turnover reaches 3-5 billion US dollar. The [...]
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. [...]
