Cassava mosaic virus is one of the major problems affecting cassava industry in India. Currently there are no effective strategy to completely protect from viruses. In order attain resistance RNAi vectors targeting replicase gene Indian constructed this study. Their efficiency transform immature leaf lobes were also studied here. Replicase Tamilnadu cloned and sequenced. Conserved domains ident...

The traditional homologous recombination (HR) gene-editing method faces problems such as low editing efficiency and absence of marker genes. CRISPR–Cas9-editing is high has been widely used in bacteria yeast. In comparison with CRISPR–Cas9, CRISPR–Cas12a many outstanding advantages. Here, we report an Acidaminococcus sp. BV3L6 (As) Cas12a-based genome-editing for Starmerella bombicola. To demon...

We developed an efficient electrotransformation system for the pathogenic fungus Histoplasma capsulatum and used it to examine the effects of features of the transforming DNA on transformation efficiency and fate of the transforming DNA and to demonstrate fungal expression of two recombinant Escherichia coli genes, hph and lacZ. Linearized DNA and plasmids containing Histoplasma telomeric seque...

A system for Egyptian barley (Hordeum vulgare L. cv Giza 123) transformation via biolistic bombardment has been established. Immature embryos 1.0-1.5 mm in length were aseptically isolated from barley plants cultivated in the open field. Embryos were then cultured on callus induction medium with scutellum side up. Scutellum derived calli were bombarded with the plasmid pAHC25, containing the ma...

Cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.)  is an important fiber crop in Iran, cultivated on 150000-200000 ha of land.  In Iran the estimated loss due to the insect pest is more than 30%. Traditionally, pests are controlled by 10-12 times spraying per growing season of environmentally harmful chemical insecticides (e.g. endosulfan and/or methosystox). In order to produce transgenic cotton resistance to in...

Candida parapsilosis is a human pathogenic fungus with increasing importance, particularly in nosocomial infections. For detailed molecular genetic explorations of prototrophic clinical isolates of C. parapsilosis, we developed an efficient transformation system based on a dominant selectable marker. The gene encoding resistance to mycophenolic acid (MPA) was used for selection in yeast transfo...

BACKGROUND Techniques that enable high levels of transgene expression in plants are attractive for the commercial production of plant-made recombinant pharmaceutical proteins or other gene transfer related strategies. The conventional way to increase the yield of desired transgenic products is to use strong promoters to control the expression of the transgene. Although many such promoters have ...

We have designed a gene cassette for expression of the bleomycin-resistance protein from Streptoalloteichus hindustanus (ShBle) in the extremely halophilic archaeon Haloferax volcanii, and shown that transformed haloarchaea are resistant to bleomycin. Recombinant ShBle was purified by a one-step affinity-chromatography procedure as a correctly folded, dimeric protein. ShBle thus provides a usef...

A general method for constructing and selecting recombinant vaccinia viruses with insertions, deletions, or mutations in any gene that is similar in principle to one originally devised for Saccharomyces cerevisiae (S. Scherer and R. W. Davis, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 76:4951-4955, 1979) is described. The selectable marker used, Escherichia coli guanine phosphoribosyltransferase, is not retain...
