Download or read book Micropropagation of Populus Trichocarpa Nisqually 1 and Genetic Engineering Populus with CaMV35s AtWBC19 CaMV35s AgNt84 and 60CaMV35s GUS Genes written by Byung-guk Kang and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 139 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Chapter one, we described development of a highly efficient micropropagation protocol from greenhouse-grown shoot tips of 'Nisqually-1'. The optimal micropropagation protocol involves growing in vitro shoots in plant growth regulator free Murashige and Skoog (MS) basal medium supplemented with 3% sucrose, 0.3% Gelrite and 5--10 g·L−1 of activated charcoal. Plants grown on this medium were significantly longer, and contained significantly higher concentrations of chlorophyll. In chapter II, we transferred the plant-originated Arabidopsis Atwbc19 gene encoding an ATP binding cassette transporter which confers resistance to aminoglycoside antibiotics. Transgenic plants were confirmed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) with Atwbc19- specific primer pair. The expression was confirmed by the reverse transcription PCR. Transgenic plants were tested for aminoglycoside antibiotic resistance. The level of resistance conferred by CaMV35S-Atwbc19 is similar to that conferred by nptII gene. Therefore, plant-ubiquitous Atwbc19 gene can serve an alternative gene as a plant transformation selective marker gene to current bacterial antibiotic-resistance marker genes and alleviate the potential risk for horizontal transfer of bacterial resistance genes in transgenic plants. In Chapter III, we transformed a Populus clone with the enhancer trapping vector, pD991. All 250 transgenic lines were screened and 71 of them (28%) showed positive staining. They showed various patterns of the reporter gene expression, including expression in one tissue and simultaneously in two more tissues. These results confirmed the previously reports that enhancer trap lines can be produced in Populus, and these enhancer trap lines can be used for future gene cloning and studying gene expression in Populus. In Chapter IV, we transformed with the heavy metal binding protein agNt84 gene. Seven putative transgenic lines were confirmed by PCR with the agNt84 specific primers and two lines shoot tips of transgenic- and non-transgenic plants grown on cadmium (Cd) -containing rooting media to evaluate of Cd resistance. 33% of shoot tips from one line and 44% of those from another transgenic line survived on medium containing 250 mM Cd, respectively, but only 22% of the non-transgenic shoot tips survived on rooting medium with 150 mM Cd at week 8. Also, the Cd analysis by ICP-OES indicated that the transgenic plants which were grown on 100 mM Cd medium accumulated about 45% more Cd in the tissue than non-transgenic plants.

This book was released on 2013-03-14 with total page 615 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Genetic variability is an important parameter for plant breeders in any con ventional crop improvement programme. Very often the desired variation is un available in the right combination, or simply does not exist at all. However, plant breeders have successfully recombined the desired genes from cultivated crop gerrnplasm and related wild species by sexual hybridization, and have been able to develop new cultivars with desirable agronomie traits, such as high yield, disease, pest, and drought resistance. So far, conventional breeding methods have managed to feed the world's ever-growing population. Continued population growth, no further scope of expanding arable land, soil degradation, environ mental pollution and global warrning are causes of concern to plant biologists and planners. Plant breeders are under continuous pressure to improve and develop new cultivars for sustainable food production. However, it takes several years to develop a new cultivar. Therefore, they have to look for new technologies, which could be combined with conventional methods to create more genetic variability, and reduce the time in developing new cultivars, with early-maturity, and improved yield. The first report on induced mutation of a gene by HJ. Muller in 1927 was a major mi1estone in enhancing variation, and also indicated the potential applica tions of mutagenesis in plant improvement. Radiation sources, such as X-rays, gamma rays and fast neutrons, and chemical mutagens (e. g. , ethyl methane sulphonate) have been widely used to induce mutations.

This book was released on 2013-03-14 with total page 373 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Changing environmental conditions substantially affect genetic variation and its dynamics in forest ecosystems and various systems of plantations. In response to these challenges, the present book focuses on the response to stress in terms of case studies which address physiological and genetic characters as well as various metric traits. Furthermore a choice of studies is presented which refers to diversity and geographic variation of various species and site conditions, respectively. In addition, genetic resources are characterised and a variety of studies is compiled which address reproduction and migration as well as management aspects. Finally, a set of studies is presented which focus on forest tree breeding with respect to uncertain climatic futures.
