Transgenic Strategy of Stress | Genetics

In this article we will discuss about the transgenic strategy of stress in plants. In Arabidopsis, overexpression of cDNA encoding DREB1 and DREB2 triggered expres­sion of many stress tolerance genes under normal growing conditions. Thus, transgenic strat­egy resulted in increased tolerance to drought, salinity and cold stress. Researchers from Japan International Research Center for Agricultural Science (JIRCAS) identified 12 stress-inducible [...]
