Artificial Nematode Resistance in Transgenic Plants | Genetics

In this article we will discuss about the artificial nematode resistance in transgenic plants. Artificial nematode resistance could be achieved by an alternative molecular strategy; an approach provides duration and efficient resistance. Deployment of antinematode gene in transgenic plant depending on specificity of nematode can provide artificial defence system. Some of the promising approaches are the deployment of compounds produced [...]

Gene Interaction in Resistance Development | Plants

In this article we will discuss about the representation of gene for gene interaction in resistance development. Plants, in nature, contain several resistance genes as a defensive role. Since the turn of this century plant breeders have used these disease resistance genes commonly known as 'R' genes to counter plant disease. Knowledge about genetic and biochemical basis of plant disease [...]

Examples of Transgenic Plants | Biotechnology

In this article we will discuss about the examples of transgenic plants for phytoremediation. 1. Phytoremediation of Mercury: There have been reports on the ability of certain plant species which have ability to accumulate mercury both from atmospheric and soil sources. However, plant species never ventured hyper accumulation of mercury, researcher use engineered plants by introducing bacterial specific genes for [...]
