Abstract:
Genes in plants that confer race-specific resistance to rusts and mildews are widely exploited in agriculture and can prevent huge losses at little cost. However, nothing is known of the molecular basis of their action. Genetic studies, together with observations of responses at the ultrastructural level, can provide broad insights into how resistance is achieved, which may help in cloning resistance genes.

Transgenic Plants
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...
