Evaluation of MYB93 and MAD8 Genes in Transgenic and Non-Transgenic Rice
Increasing drought tolerance, especially in rice, which is one of the most important crops in Asia, is necessary. Transcription factors are specific sequence DNA-binding proteins that are capable of activating or suppressing transcription. These proteins regulate gene expression levels by binding to cis regulatory elements in the promoter of target genes to control various biological processes ...
متن کاملTransgenic strategies to confer resistance against viruses in rice plants
Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is cultivated in more than 100 countries and supports nearly half of the world's population. Developing efficient methods to control rice viruses is thus an urgent necessity because viruses cause serious losses in rice yield. Most rice viruses are transmitted by insect vectors, notably planthoppers and leafhoppers. Viruliferous insect vectors can disperse their viruses ov...
متن کاملTransgenic high-lysine rice – a realistic solution to malnutrition?
Lysine is considered an 'essential amino acid' required at sufficient levels to prevent malnutrition and serious diseases, particularly in developing countries. It is mostly obtained from various plant foods. In the current issue (pages 4285–4296) Yang and colleagues report on successful stimulation of lysine biosynthesis and suppression of its catabolism in transgenic rice plants without chang...
متن کاملExpression of snowdrop lectin (GNA) in transgenic rice plants confers resistance to rice brown planthopper.
Snowdrop lectin (Galanthus nivalis agglutinin; GNA) has been shown previously to be toxic towards rice brown planthopper (Nilaparvata lugens; BPH) when administered in artificial diet. BPH feeds by phloem abstraction, and causes 'hopper burn', as well as being an important virus vector. To evaluate the potential of the gna gene to confer resistance towards BPH, transgenic rice (Oryza sativa L.)...
متن کاملTransgenic rice plants expressing synthetic cry2AX1 gene exhibits resistance to rice leaffolder (Cnaphalocrosis medinalis)
Bacillus thuringiensis is a major source of insecticidal genes imparting insect resistance in transgenic plants. Level of expression of transgenes in transgenic plants is important to achieve desirable level of resistance against target insects. In order to achieve desirable level of expression, rice chloroplast transit peptide sequence was fused with synthetic cry2AX1 gene to target its protei...
