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...

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.

Area of Science:

  • Plant Molecular Biology
  • Agricultural Science
  • Genetics

Background:

  • Wheat root systems are crucial for crop productivity.
  • Genetic modification of wheat root traits requires effective root-specific expression systems.
  • Rice promoters are investigated for potential application in wheat.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a robust root-specific expression system for bread wheat.
  • To identify and characterize rice promoters suitable for wheat root genetic engineering.
  • To evaluate the stability and specificity of candidate promoters.

Main Methods:

  • Transient expression analysis using a GREEN FLUORESCENT PROTEIN (GFP) reporter gene.
  • Investigation of promoters from root-specific rice genes.
  • Organ specificity and stability analysis in transgenic wheat across three generations.

Main Results:

  • Six rice promoters showed strong expression in wheat roots.
  • The GLYCINE-RICH PROTEIN 7 (OsGRP7) promoter demonstrated strong, root-specific expression in wheat.
  • The METALLOTHIONEIN-LIKE PROTEIN 1 (OsMTL1) promoter showed root preference but also expression in floral organs.
  • Expression driven by OsGRP7, OsMTL1, and RCg2 promoters was stable across three generations.

Conclusions:

  • The OsGRP7 promoter provides a strong, stable, and root-specific expression system for wheat.
  • This system serves as an enabling technology for genetic manipulation of wheat root traits.
  • The findings contribute to advancing wheat genetic engineering for improved agricultural outcomes.
