manipulation of different genes in crop plants to get desirable characters has become an important tool of plant biotechnology. in the current study, cotton variety mnh-786 was modified for its characteristics to show resistance against lepidopteran insects and herbicide by transformation of cry1ac+cry2a and gtgene cloned in a different cassette under 35s promoter. mature embryos of cotton mnh-...

Copper sulphate, CuSO4.5H2O (Fine Chemical, India), Purity (99%) and CAS No. 7758-98-7, a broad-spectrum inorganic pesticide, has many-fold uses as fungicide, molluscicide and weedicide. The adult Indian skittering frog, Euphlyctis cyanophlyctis was treated In vivo with different sublethal concentrations of CuSO4 (3.5, 5.0, 6.5 and 8.0mg/kg) after calculating the LC50 value which was found to b...

The fertilizer subsidies reintroduced in various sub-Saharan African countries from 2007 aim to increase agricultural production and assist the development of markets. present study evaluates impact a subsidy program among farmers Ghana who employ highly mechanized irrigation systems. results indicate that received under used 45% more fertilizer. However, they did not use weedicide were likely ...

Expression of the transgene with a desirable character in crop plant is the ultimate goal of transgenic research. Transformation of two Bt genes namely Cry1Ac and Cry2A cloned as separate cassette under 35S promoter in pKHG4 plant expression vector was done by using shoot apex cut method of Agrobacterium. Molecular confirmation of putative transgenic cotton plants for Cry1Ac, Cry2A and GT gene ...
