چکیده

Phytate is the primary storage form of phosphate in plants. Phytases from microbial sources are supplemented to feedstuff of monogastric animals to increase the uptake of phytate phosphorus. The use of microbial phytase is associated with high production cost and also requires special care in feed processing. Expression of phytase in transgenic plants is an alternative approach to the production of phytase for commercial use (organic farming) as well as for animal feed. This review summarizes the current knowledge of transgenic plants overexpressing phy gene and their potential application in animal feed. The need for alterations in the phy gene for enhanced expression, accumulation and activity of phytase in transgenic plants is also discussed.

Biotechnological Approach to Improve the Nutritional Availability in Livestock and Consequence for Reduction the Environment Pollution by Implement of Transgenic Phytase in Animal Feed

Phytases are hydrolytic enzymes that initiate the release of phosphate from phytate In recent years the application of the phytase enzyme have been studied intensively. Phytase enzymes have a wide distribution in plants, microorganisms, and in some animal tissues. Many strategies have been developed for improving phosphate and mineral availability in feed. However in recent years, expression of...

Responses of Transgenic Tobacco (Nicotiana plambaginifolia) Over-Expressing P5CS Gene Underin vitroSalt Stress

Salinity is a major limiting factor for plant growth and development. To evaluate the impact of P5CS gene expression under in vitro salt stress condition, transgenic tobacco (Nicotiana plumbaginifolia) carrying P5CS gene and non-transgenic plants were treated with 0, 100, 150, 200 or 250 mM NaCl for 28 days. Proline content, lipid peroxidation and the activity of some antioxidant enzymes after ...

Assessment of salt tolerance in transgenic tobacco (Nicotiana tobacum L.) plants expressing the AUX gene

Transformation of plants using Agrabacterium rhizogenes may affect secondary metabolite production as well as morphological changes. In this study, T-DNA from Ri plasmid in A. rhizogenes carrying pRi15834-PRT35S-GUS was introduced into tobacco leaf segments to initiate development of transformed hairy roots. Plant regeneration from transgenic roots used MS medium, and plants regenerated fro...

Phytase, a new life for an "old" enzyme.

Phytases are phosphohydrolytic enzymes that initiate stepwise removal of phosphate from phytate. Simple-stomached species such as swine, poultry, and fish require extrinsic phytase to digest phytate, the major form of phosphorus in plant-based feeds. Consequently, this enzyme is supplemented in these species' diets to decrease their phosphorus excretion, and it has emerged as one of the most ef...

Molecular Characterization and Comparative Phylogenetic Analysis of Phytases from Fungi with Their Prospective Applications

Plant seeds that have high phytate content are used as animal feed. Phytases, enzymes that catalyze the breakdown of phytate into inorganic phosphorus and myoinositol phosphate derivatives, have been intensively studied in recent years and gained immense attention because of their application in reducing phytate content in animal feed and food for human consumption, thus indirectly lowering env...
