the main aim of this study was to obtain the crimean-congo hemorrhagic fever virus (cchfv) glycoprotein, through either stable transgenic plants or using a transient expression system, and determine the yield, quality and finally the immunogenicity of the plant-made cchfv glycoprotein in a mouse model. we designed and synthesized a codon-optimized g1/g2 gene from the g1 and g2 parts of the cchf...

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...

conclusions the canola oilseeds could provide a useful expression system to produce hcv core protein as a vaccine candidate. results western blot analysis using anti-his antibody confirmed the presence of a 15 kda protein in the seeds of t1 transgenic lines. the amount of antigenic protein accumulated in the seeds of these transgenic lines was up to 0.05% of the total soluble protein (tsp). mat...

Paulownia tomentosa (Thunb.) Steud. is a very important hard woody plant, an extremely fast-growing tree and produce timber. Therefore, there is a demand to produce transgenic Paulownia plant resistant to bacterial infection. Microbial infection (especially bacterial one) is serious sever and cause a loss in plant productivity as they bear upon the character and amount of plan...

BACKGROUND: Nicotiana tobacco contains large amounts of alkaloid nicotine. Tobacco plant is used for smoking and causes many health problems since it is high in nicotine which is one of the widely-recognized toxic compounds with serious side effects for different body organs. Reducing nicotine content of this plant is a way to reduce its health hazards in cigarette smokers. Utilizing the new ...

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 ...

transgene integration and expression in host plant is quite unpredictable and is considered as the major problem in plant transformation. the variation in transgene copy number in transgenic plants influences the expression level and is one of such complication. in many plant species, the analysis of transgenic plants has shown that independent transgenic plants have one to many copies of trans...
