In this article we will discuss about the insect resistance in plants. Insect control is serious and greatest challenge for agricultural crops. The global scenario of crop damage inflicted by insects is a matter of serious concern. Modern agriculture provides novel solutions to age old problems. Despite the use of wide array of insecticides, extent of damage seems to be [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
