Deleterious effects of plant cystatins against the banana weevil Cosmopolites sordidus

Description : The general potential of plant cystatins for the development of insect-resistant transgenic plants still remains to be established given the natural ability of several insects to compensate for the loss of active cysteine proteases following inhibitor ingestion. Here we assessed the potential of cys...

Transfer of genetic material between the chloroplast and nucleus : how is it related to stress in plants?

Description : BACKGROUND: The presence of chloroplast-related DNA sequences in the nuclear genome is generally regarded as a relic of the process by which genes have been transferred from the chloroplast to the nucleus. The remaining chloroplast encoded genes are not identical across the plant kingdom indicating ...

Effect of water-deficit stress on cotton plants expressing the Bacillus thuringiensis toxin

Description : Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) crops require a high dosage of Bt toxin to delay development of insect resistance, in particular, when the refuge strategy is applied. This strategy is threatened by plant developmental and environmental factors that might reduce Bt toxin concentration and Bt efficacy in ...
