Engineering disease resistant plants through CRISPR-Cas9 technology GM Crops Food (IF 3.074) Pub Date : 2020-10-20 Swati Tyagi, Robin Kumar, Vivak Kumar, So Youn Won, Pratyoosh Shukla
ABSTRACT Plants are susceptible to phytopathogens, including bacteria, fungi, and viruses, which cause colossal financial shortfalls (pre- and post-harvest) and threaten global food safety. To combat with these phytopathogens, plant possesses two-layer of defense in the form of PAMP-triggered immunity (PTI), or Effectors-triggered immunity (ETI). The understanding of plant-molecular interactions and

Identification of a defense response gene involved in signaling pathways against PVA and PVY in potato GM Crops Food (IF 3.074) Pub Date : 2020-10-07 Zhila Osmani, Mohammad Sadegh Sabet, Kenji S. Nakahara, Ali Mokhtassi-Bidgoli, Khabat Vahabi, Ahmad Moieni, Masoud Shams-Bakhsh
ABSTRACT Potato is the most important non-grain food crop in the world. Viruses, particularly potato virus Y (PVY) and potato virus A (PVA), are among the major agricultural pathogens causing severe reduction in potato yield and quality worldwide. Virus infection induces host factors to interfere with its infection cycle. Evaluation of these factors facilitates the development of intrinsic resistance

The impact of using genetically modified (GM) corn/maize in Vietnam: Results of the first farm-level survey GM Crops Food (IF 3.074) Pub Date : 2020-09-30 Graham Brookes, Tran Xuan Dinh
ABSTRACT This study assessed the farm-level economic and environmental impacts from the use of genetically modified (GM) corn in Vietnam (resistant to Lepidopteran pests of corn and tolerant to the herbicide glyphosate). It was largely based on a farmer survey conducted in 2018–19. The GM varieties out-performed conventional varieties in terms of yield by +30.4% (+15.2% if the yield comparison is with

Apomixis and strategies to induce apomixis to preserve hybrid vigor for multiple generations. GM Crops Food (IF 3.074) Pub Date : 2020-09-02 Sajid Fiaz,Xiukang Wang,Afifa Younas,Badr Alharthi,Adeel Riaz,Habib Ali
Hybrid seeds of several important crops with supreme qualities including yield, biotic and abiotic stress tolerance have been cultivated for decades. Thus far, a major challenge with hybrid seeds is that they do not have the ability to produce plants with the same qualities over subsequent generations. Apomixis, an asexual mode of reproduction by avoiding meiosis, exists naturally in flowering plants

Improvement of sugarcane for borer resistance using Agrobacterium mediated transformation of cry1Ac gene. GM Crops Food (IF 3.074) Pub Date : 2020-08-30 Eldessoky S Dessoky,Roba M Ismail,Nagwa I Elarabi,Abdelhadi A Abdelhadi,Naglaa A Abdallah
The sugarcane (Saccharum X officinarum) is one of the most important crops used to produce sugar and raw material for biofuel in the world. One of the main causes for sucrose content and yield losses is the attack by insect. In this investigation, cry1Ac gene was introduced into sugarcane variety GT54-9(C9) using the Agrobacterium tumefaciens transformation method for transgenic sugarcane production

Consumer perception, mandatory labeling, and traceability of GM soybean oil: evidence from Chinese urban consumers. GM Crops Food (IF 3.074) Pub Date : 2020-08-23 Mingyang Zhang,Yubing Fan,Chao Chen,Jingxia Cao,Hongshan Pu
ABSTRACT Consumer preference for the mandatory labeling of genetically modified (GM) foods promotes public support for the implementation of GM food policies. This study analyzes consumers’ preference for the traceability of GM soybean oil. Survey data were collected through a self-administered survey covering 804 randomly sampled urban residents in the eastern, central and western regions of China
