Abstract:
Study of beta-1,3-glucanase is one of the hot points in plant genetic engineering of disease resistance,big progress has been made in the past few years. This paper briefly reviewed the main biological characters and mechanism involved in the disease resistance,the classification,structure,function and the transformation of beta-1,3-glucanase genes.

01:59Plant Breeding and Biotechnology
Crop cultivation has a long history in human civilization, with records showing the cultivation of cereal plants beginning at around 8000 BC. This early plant breeding was developed primarily to provide a steady supply of food.
02:50Transgenic Plants
Recombinant DNA technology called transgenesis is often used to add a foreign gene or remove a detrimental gene from an organism. Such genetically modified organisms are called transgenic organisms.
The first-ever transgenic plant was a tobacco plant developed in 1983 that showed resistance against the tobacco mosaic virus. Since then, many transgenic plants have been developed and commercialized for improving the agricultural, ornamental, and horticultural value of a crop plant. Transgenic...
