In this article we will discuss about the production of pharmaceutical proteins in transgenic plants. Many pharmaceutical proteins of mammalian origin have been synthesized in plants. These ranges from blood products such as human serum albumin. There is an annual demand of more than 500 tonnes for many of these proteins. In view of their economic feasibility, transgenic plants have [...]
In this article we will discuss about the nematode resistance in plants. Nematodes predate on large number of plants and inflict considerable damage to economically important crops. Plant nemotades are either living outside the root (ectoparasite) or living inside the root (endoparasite). The endoparasitic nematodes divided into two groups. One is cyst nematodes include, heterodera and globodera and root knot [...]
Get the answer of: How terminator gene works ? The key to the efficacy of terminator technology is the ability to make abundant toxin confined to seeds and kill the embryo in last stages of development. To accomplish this, the strategy to select the promoter from gene normally activated late in seed development. This promoter is fused with coding sequence [...]
