Pathogenesis related proteins are the class of proteins produced by plants against pathogen attack. These proteins play a crucial role in plant defence against pathogen. Expression of PR genes is not only due to pathogen attack but also takes place by abiotic stress such as wounding, osmotic stress, UV light and oxidation stress. Several plant parts such as root flowers, [...]
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. [...]
In this article we will discuss about the representation of High-Dose/Refuge Strategy. Over the past one decade—researchers, government regulators, environmentalist and even private sectors have extensive debate over the occurrence of resistance to Bt crops and delay in the development of resistance process. In this context one of the promosing strategies is the high dose/refuge resistance management. This strategy has [...]
