Climate change has increased the frequency of long periods drought, affecting crop cultivation worldwide. Losses due to water stress exceed 10% world production major crops, reaching three-quarters areas, with severe economic losses. Therefore, generation environmental stress-tolerant genotypes that are more efficient in use is extremely important. We have previously isolated and characterized ...

Sugarcane is a unique crop with the ability to accumulate high levels of sugar and is a commercially viable source of biomass for bioelectricity and second-generation bioethanol. Water deficit is the single largest abiotic stress affecting sugarcane productivity and the development of water use efficient and drought tolerant cultivars is an imperative for all major sugarcane producing countries...

On Thursday 9 May 1991, the world awoke to front-page news of a breakthrough in biological research. From Washington to Wollongong, newspapers, radio and TV were abuzz with the story of a transgenic mouse in London called Randy. Why was this mouse so special? The mouse in question was a chromosomal female (XX) made male by the presence of a transgene containing the Y chromosome gene Sry This se...

Salicylic acid (SA), Jasmonic (JA) and ethylene (ET) have the significant roles in plants physiologically defense against pathogens. To elucidate role of these three phytohormones development Induced systemic resistance (ISR), it is a immune response that occurs when roots are colonized by beneficial microbes. The study model SRI combination specific strains Pseudomonas fluorescens PTA-CT2 with...

there is a high degree (>95%) of intraspecies similarity in the coat protein (cp) amino acid sequences within passionfruit woodiness virus (pwv) and cucumber mosaic virus (cmv), both infecting passionfruit vine in new south wales. on this basis, a dual transgene containing the translatable cdnas coding for the cps of pwv and cmv was constructed in the binary vector pbi121 and used for transform...

There is a significant gap in farmer acceptability of genetically modified plants for production several countries throughout the world, as well major markets food, feed, and factory usage. This paper analyzes progress agricultural biotechnology's practical applications with different trajectories, which affect evolution bacterial resistance genes, viral fungal genes. has also influenced views ...

Citrus is a major fruit crop with economic importance worldwide, citriculture historically threatened at times by diverse array of pathogens. As leading producer and exporter, Argentina has been dealing endemic quarantine diseases citrus implementing conventional management strategies. In recent decades, the pursuit pathogen-resistant transgenic explored in country as part long-term sustainable...

A transgenic winter triticale line expressing the uidA gene, encoding ?-glucuronidase, was used to assess pollen flow in field experiments over two consecutive vegetation seasons central Poland. The experimental design included variants of mixed and non-transgenic lines. Pollen grains were collected using passive traps located at 0, 10, 30, 60 85 m from line. GM detected histochemically by stai...
