An Insight into Transgenic Development Activities in Fruit Crops

Transgenic Fruit Crops – A Review

Present increasing trend of population is alarming for food shortage. It was estimated that by the year of 2050 the population rate may increase up to 9 billion. Rapid increase of human population together with global climate variability resulted in increased demand of plant based food and energy sources. Conventional breeding is still limited due to genetic restrictions (high heterozygosity an...

An Insight into Professional Development Obstacles Facing Ethiopian Primary School EFL Teachers

This study was conducted to identify self-directed and external professional development obstacles facing primary school EFL teachers in Southern Zone of Tigray Region in Ethiopia. The participants of the study were 63 primary school EFL teachers, 10 school principals and 2 clusters of supervisors. School teachers were selected using random sampling technique whereas school principals and clust...

Clean Vector Technology for Marker-free Transgenic Fruit Crops

Marker-free transgenic crops confer several advantages over transgenic crops equipped with selection genes coding e.g. for antibiotic resistance. Firstly, the European Union has prepared a guidance document for risk assessment of GM-crops to be introduced in the environment (E.U. Joint Working Group on Novel Foods and GMO’s, 2003). In this document based on compliance to consumer demands the EU...
