Transgenic Plants, Then and Now: a Personal Perspective

چکیده
Although I was asked to give a talk on transgenic plants and issues concerning genetically modified organisms (GMOs), I decided that this was too broad a topic. I would only be qualified to describe a few examples of the transgenic plants that have been a part of my research. I chose these examples only because of my familiarity with them, nothing more. Hence, this article should not be considered a comprehensive review on the achievements in this field or as a definitive view on GMO issues.

Salinity stress affects morpho-physiological and biochemical traits of plants. The transgenic Bt plants play a significant role in pest control, but their response and ability to cope with environmental stresses still need to be evaluated. Therefore, effect of salinity stress at 0, 50, 100, 150, and 200 mM on morphological, physiological, and molecular traits of T3 transgenic tomato plants cont...

متن کاملGenetic transformation of Tomato with three pathogenesis-related protein genes for increased resistance to Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. lycopersici
Fusarium wilt caused by Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. Lycopersici is one of the major obstacles to the production of tomato which causes huge losses in tomato products worldwide. In order to increase the tolerance to this disease, a triple structure containing PR1, chitinase and glucanase genes controlled by 35S promoter was transferred to tomato. Eight days after planting on pre-culture me...
