Journal ArticleDOI
Transgenic approaches for abiotic stress tolerance in plants: retrospect and prospects.
TL;DR: This review focuses on the recent progress in using transgenic technology for the improvement of abiotic stress tolerance in plants, including discussion on the evaluation of abiotics stress response and the protocols for testing the transgenic plants for their tolerance under close-to-field conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
High efficiency transformation ofBrassica napus usingAgrobacterium vectors.
TL;DR: The frequency of transformation and yield of transgenic plants was higher than in previously reported methods with this species and Southern blotting revealed that integration of the T-DNA frequently occurred in multiple copies and at multiple loci in the genome.
Journal ArticleDOI
Stress-inducible expression of At DREB1A in transgenic peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) increases transpiration efficiency under water-limiting conditions.
Pooja Bhatnagar-Mathur,M. Jyostna Devi,D. Srinivas Reddy,M. Lavanya,Vincent Vadez,Rachid Serraj,Kazuko Yamaguchi-Shinozaki,Kiran K. Sharma +7 more
TL;DR: A transcription factor DREB1A from Arabidopsis thaliana was introduced in a drought-sensitive peanut cultivar JL 24 through Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated gene transfer and did not result in growth retardation or visible phenotypic alterations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Applications of biotechnology for crop improvement: prospects and constraints
TL;DR: The development, testing and release of agricultural products generated through biotechnology-based processes should be continuously optimized based on the most recent experiences, and will require a dynamic and streamlined regulatory structure, clearly supportive of the benefits of biotechnology, but highly sensitive to the well being of humans and environment.
Journal ArticleDOI
An efficient method for the production of transgenic plants of peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) through Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated genetic transformation.
Kiran K. Sharma,Vanamala Anjaiah +1 more
TL;DR: The cotyledon regeneration system proved to be an excellent vehicle for the production of a large number of independently transformed peanut plants and provides new opportunities for the crop improvement of peanut via genetic transformation.
