Exploitation of antisense RNA technology in horticultural crops

:Antisense RNA is a trimming technique that rising in popularity agricultural research. "Sense" refers to the original DNA or molecular sequence. "Antisense" complementary sequence of RNA. Since it most practical and recent approach accessible, crop breeders employ antisense technology create different species variations. Long non-coding (lncRNA), (asRNA), number other enzymes molecules are all included category. Using asRNA technology, crops may have their nutritional value increased, undesirable toxic compounds reduced, male sterility created for breeding, shelf life extended, etc. The FLAVR SAVR tomato result genetic engineering by biotechnology company Calgene, which used modified bacterial parasite Agrobacterium tumefaciens transfer material into Flavr Savr plant cells slow down ripening tomatoes. RNAi β-carotene lutein levels potatoes been raised inhibiting beta-carotene hydroxylase (BCH), transforms zeaxanthins. Auxin response factor 7 (ARF7) was blocked silencing Solanum lycopersicum, resulting parthenocarpic fruits. Scientists developed tobacco strains sterile reducing expression TA29 gene, charge producing pollen. In order make plants male-sterile again, also essential. Because they limit completely remove genes implicated synthesis harmful food, technologies helpful development.
