Transgenic tomato plants containing the chimeric genes express the insect control protein gene. Such expression confers tolerance to lepidopteran larvae on the transgenic tomato plants and their progeny. These engineered tomato plants represent a significant step to increased selectivity, specificity and effi...
Notes: 25 3 1029 g is the amount of DNA template (measured by UV absorption) used in each reaction system, and 6.02 3 1023 is Avogadro's constant. The genome size of sugarcane can be determined by flow cytometry44 and the average molecular weight (MW) of a DNA base pair is 660 ...
Step-by-Step Solution1. Understanding the Question: The question asks about the development of salt-tolerant transgenic plants. We need to identify which crop has been genetically engineered to tolerate salt.</
Since dsRNA produced by plants can target important mRNAs from pathogens feeding in the crop and cause lethality, there is a growing interest in using RNAi for pest and disease control, both as a traditionally applied insecticide/fungicide and within GM plants [16]. However, while some GMOs ...

In plants, GAD is regulated via its calmodulin-binding domain (CaMBD) by Ca(2+)/CaM. We have previously reported that a C-terminal truncated version of one of the five rice GAD isoforms, GAD2DeltaC, revealed higher enzymatic activity in vitro and that its over-expression resulted in ...
Developing CRISPR/Cas9-mediated non-transgenic mutants in asexually propagated perennial crop plants is challenging but highly desirable. Here, we report a highly useful method using an Agrobacterium-mediated transient CRISPR/Cas9 gene expression system
(Vip). Recessive inheritance of pest resistance has favored sustained susceptibility, but even when inheritance is not recessive, abundant refuges of non-Bt host plants have substantially delayed resistance. These insights may inform resistance management strategies to increase the durability of current ...
It is also preferred to select fish that are stable without regard to the ambient physical environment of the tank (e.g., color of gravel, plants, etc.). This can be ensured by selecting fish that do no lose their color brilliancy over time or in response to the physical environment....
Methods of creating and enhancing insect resistance in plants by introducing non-plant lipases into plants are provided. Plants with enhanced insect resistance and seed from plants
