Nematode Resistant Plants Flashcards
RNA interference
which nematode infects the plant roots ?
meloidegyne incognitia
How can we prevent this infestation nematode?
by the help of RNA interference
What happens when RNA interference takes place?
Gene Silencing occurs
how does it take place?
this method involves silencing of a specific mRNA due to a complementary dsRNA molecule that binds to and prevents translation of mRNA.
Which enzyme cleaves the ds RNA to make the siRNA?
Dicer enzyme
The siRNA molecules formed are incorporated into a multi subunit _______?
RISC (RNA inducing silencing complex )
Vector used for introducing nematode- specific genes into the host plant?
Vector agrobacterium
change in golden rice due to transgenesis
Vitamin A and beta carotene rich
change in bt cotton due to transgenesis
Pest resistance , herbicide
change in flavr savr tomato due to transgenesis
gene for the production of polygalacturonase enzyme was inhibited due to which fruit remains fresh for a longer time .
