Transgenic Plants

8.3K
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...

Plant Breeding and Biotechnology

21.3K
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.

Synthetic Biology

5.4K
Synthetic biology is an interdisciplinary science that involves using principles from disciplines such as engineering, molecular biology, cell biology, and systems biology. It involves remodeling existing organisms from nature or constructing completely new synthetic organisms for applications such as protein or enzyme production, bioremediation, value-added macromolecule production, and the addition of desirable traits to crops, to name a few.

Area of Science:

  • Agricultural Science
  • Biotechnology
  • Genetics

Background:

  • Transgenic technology has revolutionized crop improvement by introducing foreign genes for desirable traits.
  • Genetically modified (GM) crops offer benefits including herbicide tolerance, insect resistance, and improved nutrition.
  • Over 525 transgenic events in 32 crops are approved globally, demonstrating significant advancements.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide a comprehensive update on the current status of GM crops.
  • To discuss challenges hindering the widespread adoption of transgenic crops.
  • To explore alternative technologies like cisgenesis and genome editing for future crop development.

Main Methods:

  • Review of current literature on transgenic crop technology.
  • Analysis of concerns associated with GM crop adoption.
  • Examination of alternative breeding techniques and their potential.

Main Results:

  • Transgenic technology has led to increased crop yields and reduced pesticide use.
  • Concerns regarding potential toxicity, allergenicity, and environmental risks impede GM crop acceptance.
  • Alternative methods like cisgenesis and genome editing offer pathways to develop gene-free genetically engineered crops.

Conclusions:

  • While GM crops provide advantages, public and environmental concerns necessitate alternative approaches.
  • Cisgenesis and genome editing hold promise for developing crops with enhanced traits and greater consumer acceptance.
  • Future crop improvement strategies may shift towards gene-editing and cisgenesis to overcome existing barriers.
