to investigate the impact of overexpression of atnrt2.1 transgene from arabidopsis on nitrate uptake rate and to understand the regulation of endogenous hats by nitrate and glutamine amino acid (gln) in tobacco plants, wild-type and transgenic (f line) plants grown on soil for 4 weeks were transferred to hydroponic culture in a controlled-environment with a 16/8h l:d photoperiod at 24? c/20...

One concern about using transgenic plants is the genetic variation that occurred from theirs tissue culture and regeneration. Molecular markers are an important element for efficient and effective determination of genetic variation. The present work was carried out to assess the genetic uniformity of transgenic cottons (Bt and chitinase lines), using RAPD, ISSR molecular markers and SDS-PAGE an...

Abstract Background: Selectable marker gene (SMG) systems are critical for generation of transgenic crops. Transgenic crop production Background: Selectable marker gene (SMG) systems are critical for generation of transgenic crops. Transgenic crop production without using SMG is not economically feasible. However, SMGs are non-essential once an intact transgenic plant has been established. Eli...

The aim of this paper is to describe the evaluation of engineered herbicide-resistance in transgenic sugarcane of Herbicide treatment of crops allows economic weed control. To be useful, herbicides must distinguish between crop plant variety NCo3 10 under field conditions. and weed, and this often limits usage. Engineering herbicide resistance into crop plants via genetic transformation techniq...

in this study, an efficient agrobacterium-mediated transformation method was developed forpomegranate (punica granatum l.), a difficult-to-transform plant. in vitro shoot segments wereinoculated with agrobacterium tumefaciens strain lba4404 harboring the binary vectorpbi121 carrying the neomycin phosphotransferase (nptii) gene as a selectable marker and β-glucuronidase (gus) gene as a reporter....

environmental stresses trigger a wide variety of plant responses, such as altered gene expression to changes in cellular metabolism and growth. the several plant reactions exist to circumvent the potentially harmful effects caused by light, drought, salinity, pathogen infections and other stresses. a-tocopherol is the major vitamin e compound found in leaf chloroplasts. this antioxidant deactiv...

polychlorinated biphenyls (pcbs) are chlorinated biphenyl rings that due to their properties such as heat resistance and stability were widely used in different industries from 1920s to 1980s. due to their characteristics such as stability, resistance to decomposition and harmful effects on human health, their production was banned in 1980s., worldwide contamination of water and soil with pcbs ...
