Nematode Resistance in Plants | Genetics

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 [...]

Insect Resistance in Plants | Genetics

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 [...]

How Terminator Gene Works ? | Genetics

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 [...]
