Spread of engineered genes to wild relatives.
Over the past 20 years, it has become possible to isolate genes from microbes, plants, and animals and to insert them into a range of plant species. During the next two decades, it is likely that genetically engineered crops will become widespread in agriculture. This presents new opportunities for making plants resistant to pests and diseases, better able to withstand stressful environments, a...
متن کاملUse of wild relatives to improve salt tolerance in wheat.
There is considerable variability in salt tolerance amongst members of the Triticeae, with the tribe even containing a number of halophytes. This is a review of what is known of the differences in salt tolerance of selected species in this tribe of grasses, and the potential to use wild species to improve salt tolerance in wheat. Most investigators have concentrated on differences in ion accumu...
متن کاملInvestigation of Diversity of Different Agronomic and Morphological Traits in Wild Wheat Relatives
Extended Abstract Introduction and Objective: Wild relatives of wheat are one of the most important genetic resources for use in wheat breeding programs. Therefore, identifying wheat wild relatives and Awareness of the diversity in them, also protecting these species is undeniably effective in expanding the richness of the gene pool and the genetic base of new cultivars and can be a good tool ...
متن کاملQuantifying Gene Flow from Oilseed Rape to Its Wild Relatives
EXTENDED ABSTRACT Gene flow is defined as the movement of genes between populations and is a naturally occurring phenomenon among sexually compatible individuals. Crops have exchanged genes with their wild and weedy relatives for centuries, however this process has recently caused concern. The rapid advances in genetic engineering have hit an immense wall of opposition and gene flow is now seen...
متن کاملEngineered Crops: Transgenes Go Wild
Genetically modified Agrostis stolonifera has escaped from cultivation. For the first time, a herbicide-resistant perennial weed has established itself in wild populations.
