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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
