IN SITU REFRACTORIES USED IN THE CONTAINMENT OF MOLTEN IRON AND STEEL STRATEGIES FOR THEIR DEVELOPMENT
In situ refractories are defined as brick or unshaped products, which react internally or with furnace atmospheres and/or slag components so as to be enhanced in their performance. Examples of such products are discussed with emphasis on those that are currently employed and are being developed for the melting of iron and steel. Some strategies for the development of future in situ products are...
متن کاملEvaluating biological containment strategies for pollen-mediated gene flow.
Several biological containment methods have been developed to reduce pollen dispersal; many of them only have a proof of concept in a model plant species. This review focuses on biological containment measures which were tested for their long-term efficiency at the greenhouse or field scale level, i.e. plastid transformation, transgene excission, cleistogamy and cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS)...
متن کاملTransgenic Crops for Herbicide Resistance
A year after the introduction of the first commercial transgenic crop (Flavr SavrTM tomato with a longer shelf life) in 1994, transgenic, herbicide-resistant crops (HRCs) were introduced (Table 3.1) with the introduction of bromoxynil(3,5dibromo-4-hydroxybenzonitrile) resistant cotton and glufosinate[2-amino-4(hydroxymethylphosphinyl)butanoic acid] resistant canola. Bromoxynil resistance had li...
متن کاملThe effect of gene drive on containment of transgenic mosquitoes.
Mosquito-borne diseases such as malaria and dengue fever continue to be a major health problem through much of the world. Several new potential approaches to disease control utilize gene drive to spread anti-pathogen genes into the mosquito population. Prior to a release, these projects will require trials in outdoor cages from which transgenic mosquitoes may escape, albeit in small numbers. Mo...
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...
