Mechanisms of Metal Phytoremediation | Genetics

The following points highlight the five mechanisms of metal phytoremediation by plants. The mechanisms are: 1. Phytoextraction 2. Phytostabilization 3. Rhizofiltration 4. Phytovolatization 5. Phytodegradation. Mechanism # 1. Phytoextraction: This approach is primarily used for the treatment of contaminated soils. This process uses plants to absorb, concentrate, and precipitate toxic metal from contaminate soil and loaded into shoots, leaves etc. [...]

Antisense RNA in Cut Flower Industry | Plants

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 [...]

Transgenic Approaches for Herbicide Tolerance | Genetics

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 [...]
