TL;DR: Transgenic plants expressing Hvt alone or in combination with onion leaf lectin are resistant to Phenacoccus solenopsis (cotton mealybug), Myzus persicae (green peach aphids) and Bemisia tabaci (silver leaf whitefly) and the employment of the Hvt and onion leaf Lectin transgenic constructs at the commercial level will reduce the use of chemical pesticides for control of hemipteran insect pests.

TL;DR: This review focuses on genome-editing tools for rice improvement to address current challenges and provides examples of genome editing in rice, and sheds light on expanding the scope of genome edited and systems for delivering homology-directed repair templates.

TL;DR: Primers to a conserved region of the master replication-associated protein that are useful for the polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-mediated detection of BBTV are designed and used as an internal control in the effort to control BBTV.

TL;DR: The results show that OLCd in Pakistan is associated with a DNA beta molecule that is distinct from that reported on cotton and Ageratum, and the DNA beta of CLCuD and OLCD originating from Pakistan are sufficiently diverse not to cross-hybridize under the conditions used here, and are most likely different disease complexes.

TL;DR: A durable resistance strategy against bollworms is used by developing a double gene construct containing Cry1Ac and Cry2Ab (pGA482-12R) for cotton transformation by incorporating these genes in cotton lines having no Bt genes or expressing Cry1ac gene.
