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.
Recent developments in transgenics for abiotic stress in legumes of the semi-arid tropics
Kiran K. Sharma,M. Lavanya +1 more
TL;DR: The current status of transformation technology for the genetic improvement of legumes of the SAT and it's possible application for developing transgenic plants with enhanced tolerance/resistance to abiotic stresses are reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genetic engineering of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) with the P5CSF129A gene for osmoregulation with implications on drought tolerance
TL;DR: Transgenic technology for the introduction of an osmoregulatory gene P5CSF129A encoding the mutagenized Δ1-pyrroline-5-carboxylate synthetase (P5CS) for the overproduction of proline indicates that the enhanced proline had little bearing on the components of yield architecture that are significant in overcoming the negative effects of drought stress in chickpea.
Journal ArticleDOI
An efficient protocol for shoot regeneration and genetic transformation of pigeonpea [ Cajanus cajan (L) Millsp] using leaf explants.
TL;DR: The usefulness of this system for further studies on the genetic transformation of pigeonpea has been demonstrated in biolistics-mediated gene transfer by using nptII and uidA as marker genes, where 50% of the selected plants showed gene integration and expression.
Journal ArticleDOI
Agrobacterium-mediated production of transgenic pigeonpea (cajanus cajan l. millsp.) expressing the synthetic bt cry1ab gene
TL;DR: The transgenic plants produced in this study offer immense potential for the improvement of this important legume of the semi-arid tropics for resistance to insect pests.
