Abstract Transgenic plants that express double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) targeting vital insect genes have recently emerged as a valuable new tool for pest control. In this study, tobacco were transformed to produce dsRNA Sl 102 gene is involved in the immune response of Spodoptera littoralis larvae, serious lepidopteran several crops. Experimental larvae reared on transgenic lines showed (1) strong...

HIGHLIGHTS The FvEPSPS encodes a polypeptide of 520 amino acids. was constitutively expressed in stems, leaves and roots, with lower expression roots. level could increase significantly glyphosate treatment. Transgenic Arabidopsis Thaliana gene exhibited 10 mM to resistance.

Mitochondrial dysfunctions, which underlie many systemic diseases in animals and humans, may arise from accumulation of mutations the mitochondrial genome. PolG-alpha enzyme encoded by Polg gene is crucial for replication repair The aim this study was to assess possible role dysfunctions using vitro vivo animal models. experiments involved transgenic mice with inducible expression mutant varian...

Proline, an amino acid, plays important role in plants, and it is involved stress resistance development. Earlier, to study the proline maintaining we obtained genetically modified transgenic lines of tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.) with reduced activity dehydrogenase (PDH, degradation gene) increased content proline. Transgenic plants demonstrated greater high concentrations NaCl, drought, low ...

Abstract Expansins and xyloglucan endotransglycosylases play an important role in the regulation of plant growth under optimal stressful conditions. Transgenic tobacco plants overexpressing NtEXPA1 NtEXPA5 expansin genes NtEXGT endotransglycosylase Nicotiana tabacum L. have been previously created by authors. The aim this work was morphophysiological analysis roots these transgenic conditions c...

Abstract Background A major limiting factor for plant growth is the aluminum (Al) toxicity in acidic soils, especially tropical regions. The exclusion of Al from root apex through exudation organic acids such as malate and citrate one most ubiquitous tolerance mechanisms kingdom. Two families anion channels that confer are well described literature, ALMT MATE family. Results In this study, suga...

Aim. To investigate the level of tolerance to water deficit seed generations (T1 and T4) genetically modified winter wheat with partially suppressed expression proline dehydrogenase gene (ProDH) based on analysis physiological biochemical indicators economic characteristics plants. Methods. Determination crop structure content free L-proline (Pro). Results. The Pro was studied main elements pro...

Abstract Vibriosis is one of the common diseases caused by gram-negative bacteria from genus Vibrio . To treat vibriosis, vaccination has been proven to be most effective treatment as it can avoid risk drugs or antibiotics resistance. Microalgae are commonly used feed for aquatic organisms and Nannochloropsis sp. highly utilized species fish feed. This study focused on use microalga, a vaccine ...

Cover illustration: The cover image is based on the Research Article Repetitive short-pulsed illumination efficiently activates photoactivatable-Cre as continuous in embryonic stem cells and pre-implantation embryos of transgenic mouse by Kanae Kishi et al., https://doi.org/10.1002/dvg.23457.

it has been more than half a century that plant geneticists and breeders have been trying to assemble a combinationof genes in crop plants, in order to make them as suitable and productive as possible. plant transformation technology incrop plants was first undertakenin the 1980s based on the ability of foreign gene integration into host plant genome andregeneration of transformed plant cells i...
