Oct 13, 2003 · As pollen and seeds move in the environment, they can transmit genetic traits to nearby crops or wild relatives. Many self-pollinating crops, such as wheat, barley, and potatoes, have a low frequency of gene flow, but the more promiscuous, such as sugar beets and corn, merit greater concern.

VIGS is a rapid and high throughput technique for functional analysis of genes through transient post-transcriptional gene silencing (PTGS). In this method, a short cDNA sequence from the gene of interest is cloned into a VIGS vector, which is further transfected into the host plant via Agrobacterium tumefaciens or virus sap inoculation or RNA tran...
RNAi is a natural cellular process that downregulates the gene expression of the target gene by promoting the degradation of mRNA. It is a PTGS process and refers to a multi-step process, including the introduction of a DNA construct into a cell that produces dsRNA complementary to the gene of interest. This dsRNA is cleaved into ~ 21 to 25 nucleot...
SIGS is a powerful, fast, and environmentally friendly method for efficient crop protection and validation of gene function in plants. In this technique, RNAi based in vitro synthesized dsRNA molecules, targeting the virulence-related genes of pathogens molecules are topically applied onto the plants to silence the targeted genes of pathogens and i...
In mutagenesis, heritable changes are induced in the genetic information of an organism by chemical, physical and biological agents. Mainly, induced mutagenesis and insertion mutagenesis are employed in different mutation breeding programs. Induced mutagenesis is mostly instigated by radiations (gamma rays, X-rays, fast neutrons, etc.) or chemical ...
Sequence editing either by deleting or modifying the genes individually and then studying the subsequent mutant phenotypes could address the challenges of understanding the function of genes. For precise DNA manipulations, new genome editing systems have emerged in recent times. These can induce double-stranded breaks (DSBs) at specific sites in th...
Activation tagging is a powerful method to determine the function of a gene product by generating a gain of function mutants in plants that limits traditional screens for loss of function mutations. In this technique, T-DNA containing 4 tandem copies of multimerized transcriptional enhancers from the CaMV 35S gene is randomly integrated into the pl...
Jan 9, 2022 · Interestingly, transient expression of genome editing components in potato protoplasts was reported to generate edited plants without the integration of any foreign DNA, which is a valuable aspect from both a scientific and a regulatory perspective.
Jan 1, 2019 · Genome modification was achieved using particle bombardment of immature embryos with gold particles carrying six different plasmids encoding two gRNAs, the S. pyogenes CAS9 gene, the corn ODP gene, and the corn WUS gene, and the NPTII selectable marker for kanamycin and G418 resistance. In total, Wx1 deletions were generated in more than 10 ...
