In this article we will discuss about the viral resistance in transgenic plants. Plant viruses are the potential candidate in affecting crop yield. Several conventional methods such as breeding for resistance, heat treatment are enforced to combat viral menace. Production of genetically modified plants with improved resistance to viral disease is one of the key goals in plant biotechnology. Protection [...]
In this article we will discuss about the exchange procedures of transgenic plants in India. Any transgenic material to be imported requires a permission which could be issued by the government after screening by the Review Committee on Genetic Manipulation (RCGM). RCGM examines the desirability of import of transgenic line, from the biosafety point of view under the Environment (Protection) [...]
The below mentioned article provides a study note on transgenic plants. The application of recombinant technique for horizontal transfer of gene in plant sysÂtem has several limitations. Plant genome is exceedingly complex, involving a huge amount of DNA, which can accommodate sequences equivalent to 6-7 million genes in an average crop plant. Several genes are located outside the nucleus, namely [...]
