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...
متن کاملRecent Advances in Transgenic Crops: a Review
In recent years there has been a tremendous increase in the application of transgenic crop for the production and development of variety of commercially valuable biological molecules for the purpose of human and animal healthcare. Intriguingly, recent advancement made transgenic crops (as a whole and cell culture systems) as a melting pot or biological factories for the production of large-scal...
متن کاملGlobal review of commercialized transgenic crops
THE unprecedented rapid adoption of transgenic crops during the initial five-year period (1996 to 2000) when genetically modified (GM) crops were first adopted, reflects the significant multiple benefits realized by large and small farmers in industrial and developing countries that have grown transgenic crops commercially. Between 1996 and 2000, a total of fifteen countries – 10 industrial and...
متن کاملSpecial Section: Transgenic Crops
AFTER centuries of improving crop plants by breeding for desirable traits, agricultural scientists are now using the tools of molecular biology and genetic engineering to develop transgenic plants with the desired genes. Enormous progress has been made over the past decade in our understanding of the highly complex molecular events that occur in plant–pathogen interactions. This knowledge in tu...
