A Wide Cross-Tolerance of Transgenic Rice Containing Human CYP2B6 to Various Classes of Herbicides
نویسندگان
چکیده
Pesticides have played very important roles against food shortages and plant diseases, and our modern life would be vastly different without their use. Weed infestation adversely affects crop production by reducing yields and decreasing market prices of the crop. For cost-effective land use, crop yield and price must be maximized, and the cost of weed control minimized. Herbicides substantially lighten the farmer’s heavy physical workload and improve crop yield and product quality. Herbicides are now widely used for crop cultivation and for management of lawns, railroad rights-of-way, highway margins, and other purposes, although there remains the possibility of non-target effects of pesticides to the environment caused by agricultural runoff.

Transgenic Rice and Potato Plants Expressing Human Cytochrome P450s Show Cross-tolerance to Herbicides by Detoxifying Them
Transgenic plants expressing various species of the detoxifying enzyme, cytochrome P450 monooxigenase from mammals, were bred by Agrobacterium-mediated transformation. The transgenic plants metabolized exogenous chemicals, including herbicides which they were able to tolerate. Because the enzymes had broad substrate specificity, the transgenic plants showed crosstolerance to several herbicides,...
متن کاملEvaluation of MYB93 and MAD8 Genes in Transgenic and Non-Transgenic Rice
Increasing drought tolerance, especially in rice, which is one of the most important crops in Asia, is necessary. Transcription factors are specific sequence DNA-binding proteins that are capable of activating or suppressing transcription. These proteins regulate gene expression levels by binding to cis regulatory elements in the promoter of target genes to control various biological processes ...
متن کاملDevelopment and Event-specific Detection of Transgenic Glyphosate-resistant Rice Expressing the G2-EPSPS Gene
Glyphosate is a widely used herbicide, due to its broad spectrum, low cost, low toxicity, high efficiency, and non-selective characteristics. Rice farmers rarely use glyphosate as a herbicide, because the crop is sensitive to this chemical. The development of transgenic glyphosate-tolerant rice could greatly improve the economics of rice production. Here, we transformed the Pseudomonas fluoresc...

Variability in the cultivated germplasm for economic traits such as resistance to rice tungro virus, sheathblight, yellow stem borer, drought and salt tolerance is limited. This necessitated search for the genes in secondary and tertiary gene pool of genus Oryza. Fortunately, wild species are an important reservoir ofuseful genes for resistance to major disease, pest and tolerance t...

To investigate some common herbicides of transplanted rice for direct wet-seeding of Hashemi cultivar, this study was conducted in a randomized complete block design with three replications. Treatments were as follow: (i) recommended dose of pretilachlor, (ii) oxadiargyl + bensulfuron-methyl, (iii-vi) adding propanil or thiobencarb to treatment (i) and (ii), (vii-x) adding cinosulfuron to treat...
