plant quality in herbivores’ diet may affect the performance of both herbivore and its parasitoids. in the present research, parasitism capacity of diadegma semiclausum (hellen) on plutella xylostella (l.) reared on different genetically manipulated brassica plants including the canola’s progenitor (brassica rapa l.), two cultivated canola cultivars (cultivar-opera and cultivar-rgs003), one hyb...

nowadays, production of recombinant proteins in eukaryotes is gaining good deal of attention. transgenic chicken as a eukaryotic system has a high potential for producing recombinant proteins. post-translational changes, especially glycosylation, are characteristic of the eukaryotic proteins. in practice we need to choose a proper expressing host when considering over-expression of a recombinan...

Development and characterization of a transgenic mouse model for poliomyelitis

Two recent reports in which transgene techniques were used to label specific cell classes in the mouse retina have opened the way to new methods of studying retinal signal processing.

Biotechnological applications, especially transgenic plants, probably hold the most promise in augmenting agricultural production in the first decades of the next millennium. However, the application of these technologies to the agriculture of tropical regions where the largest areas of low productivity are located, and where they are most needed, remains a major challenge. In this paper, some ...

background molecular farming is the production of important recombinant proteins in transgenic organisms on an agricultural scale. interferons are proteins with antiviral and antitumor activities and can be used for viral infections and cancers treatments. objectives this study reports the transformation of inf α2b gene in tobacco plant for the first time in iran. materials and methods interfer...

Abstract Transgenic plants expressing immunoglobulin (Ig) M Fc-fused Prostate acid phosphatase (PAP) antigenic proteins (PAP-IgM FcK) and J-chain were generated by Agrobacterium-mediated transformation. The Fc region was tagged with the ER retention motif (KDEL) to make PAP-IgM FcK. Two transgenic crossed together generate F 1 both FcK × J-chain). PCR RT-PCR analyses confirmed transgene inserti...
