In this article we will discuss about the transgenic strategy of stress in plants. In Arabidopsis, overexpression of cDNA encoding DREB1 and DREB2 triggered expression of many stress tolerance genes under normal growing conditions. Thus, transgenic strategy resulted in increased tolerance to drought, salinity and cold stress. Researchers from Japan International Research Center for Agricultural […]
Many antibodies and antibody derivatives have been produced in plant systems (Table 16.1) but only seven have reached advanced stages of product development and in main pipeline to achieve commercial status. 1. Avicidin: This is an immunoglobulin G (IgG) produced in corn plants, was the first, to be administered to humans and showed some anti-cancer […]
In this article we will discuss about the types of abiotic stress. Extreme environmental conditions such as drought, salinity and freezing temperature cause adverse effect on the growth and productivity of crop plants. The temperature (heat, chilling and freezing), drought and salinity stress together represent abiotic stress. Exposure of plants in general to these abiotic […]
