Journal ArticleDOI
Transgenic chickpeas (Cicer arietinum L.) expressing a sequence-modified cry2Aa gene.
Sumita Acharjee,Bidyut Kumar Sarmah,P. Ananda Kumar,Karen Olsen,R. J. Mahon,William J. Moar,Andrew D. Moore,Thomas J. V. Higgins +7 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that a sequence-modified cry2Aa gene expressed in chickpea is effective against pod borer larvae however accompanying reduction in productivity needs further investigation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biotechnologically generating 'super chickpea' for food and nutritional security.
TL;DR: Use of modern multi-gene vectors that contain recognition sites for zinc finger nucleases (ZFNs) and homing endonucleases may simplify the incorporation of multiple genes into chickpeas.
Journal ArticleDOI
Activity of defense related enzymes and gene expression in pigeon pea (Cajanus cajan) due to feeding of Helicoverpa armigera larvae
Aheibam Loyanganba Meitei,Mamta Bhattacharjee,Santanu Dhar,Naimisha Chowdhury,Richa Sharma,Sumita Acharjee,Bidyut Kumar Sarmah +6 more
TL;DR: An insight of herbivore-induced biochemical and molecular changes in pigeon pea is revealed and both the PR-4 and Ltp genes appeared to be important for defense against H. armigera in pigeonpea.
Journal ArticleDOI
An efficient Agrobacterium rhizogenes -mediated transformation protocol of Withania somnifera
TL;DR: A. rhizogenes mediated expression of transgene (s) in hairy roots of W. somnifera is established as a robust and efficient method for expression of a foreign gene in hairy Roots of Agrobacterium.
Journal ArticleDOI
Enhanced expression of Arabidopsis rubisco small subunit gene promoter regulated Cry1Ac gene in chickpea conferred complete resistance to Helicoverpa armigera
Nayana Hazarika,Sumita Acharjee,Rashmi Rekha Boruah,Kiran Babar,Srinivas Parimi,Bharat Char,Joel Armstrong,Andrew D. Moore,Thomas J. V. Higgins,Bidyut Kumar Sarmah +9 more
TL;DR: Transgenic chickpeas containing a cry1Ac gene conferred a high degree of resistance to H. armigera, and trCry1Ac lines could be suitable for crossing with existing Cry2Aa lines for generation of a pyramided Bt chickpea for enhanced insect resistance management in the field.
