Transgenic Plants

9.2K
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...

In-vitro Mutagenesis

17.7K
To learn more about the function of a gene, researchers can observe what happens when the gene is inactivated or “knocked out,” by creating genetically engineered knockout animals. Knockout mice have been particularly useful as models for human diseases such as cancer, Parkinson’s disease, and diabetes.

DNA-only Transposons02:57

DNA-only Transposons

18.5K
DNA-only transposons are called autonomous transposons since they code for the enzyme transposase that is required for the transposition mechanism. Insertion of transposons can alter gene functions in multiple ways. They can mutate the gene, alter gene expression by introducing a novel promoter or insulator sequence, introduce new splice sites, and change the mRNA transcripts produced, or remodel chromatin structure.
The donor site from where the transposon is excised is either degraded or...

Conservative Site-specific Recombination and Phase Variation02:53

Conservative Site-specific Recombination and Phase Variation

7.4K
Because the DNA segments are cut and reorganized in a direction-specific manner, site-specific recombination has emerged as an efficient genetic engineering technique. Flippase and Cyclization recombinases or Flp and Cre, respectively, are two members of the tyrosine recombinase family derived from bacteriophages, that are used to mediate site-specific DNA insertions, deletions, and targeted expression of proteins in mammalian cell lines.
The recognition sites for Cre recombinase called LoxP...

Main Methods:

  • Utilizing designed nucleases to create targeted DNA double-strand breaks.
  • Implementing a modular, positive selection-based gene targeting strategy with selectable marker gene cassette exchange.
  • Demonstrating intragenomic recombination for sequential transformation and trait stacking.

Main Results:

  • Achieved preferential selection of targeted transgenic events over multiple transformation cycles.
  • Demonstrated successful stacking of transgenes via targeted integration.
  • Showcased the potential for efficient trait stacking independent of high transformation efficiency.

Conclusions:

  • A novel gene targeting strategy enables efficient and precise stacking of multiple transgenes in plants.
  • This method facilitates the development of crops with complex traits, overcoming limitations of random integration.
  • The approach paves the way for advanced plant genome editing and trait stacking in crop improvement.
