Transplastomic plants for innovations in agriculture. A review

Update on Plastid Proteostatis in Transplastomic Plants Plastid Proteostasis and Heterologous Protein Accumulation in Transplastomic Plants

The insertion of transgenes into the plastid genome (plastome) has proved to be an effective alternative to nuclear transformation for producing stable transformants expressing heterologous proteins. Recently, methodology, characteristics, and possible fields of application of plastome transformation have been extensively reviewed (Lössl and Waheed, 2011; Scotti et al., 2012). From these report...

Plastid proteostasis and heterologous protein accumulation in transplastomic plants.

Metabolic Adaptation in Transplastomic Plants Massively Accumulating Recombinant Proteins

BACKGROUND Recombinant chloroplasts are endowed with an astonishing capacity to accumulate foreign proteins. However, knowledge about the impact on resident proteins of such high levels of recombinant protein accumulation is lacking. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS Here we used proteomics to characterize tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) plastid transformants massively accumulating a p-hydroxyphenyl...

Application of Gis and Gps in Precision Agriculture (a Review)

Agriculture is a complex system science and the knowledge of it is consisting of much concepts and relationships. Examinations in connection with site-specific farming have been carried out by our institute since 1998. Precision farming is a way of agricultural production, which takes into account the in-field variability, a technology where the application-seeding, nutrient replacement, sprayi...
