Time.com People Fortune EW Scientists compare an immunized ear of barley (top) with one infected with a virus By CNN's Grant Holloway CANBERRA, Australia (CNN) An Australian breakthrough in gene technology has the potential to prevent agricultural crop losses caused by plant viruses. It also could be used to reduce the use of pesticides. Researchers at the Commonwealth Scientific Industrial Research Organization have developed a genetic-modification technique that enables plants to immunize themselves against a virus attack. Working in much the same way as vaccines do in humans, the CSIRO technology inserts into a plant's DNA or genetic blueprint a small sequence of a viral genetic material called RNA. Usually the plant would interact with the viral RNA, replicating it and allowing the virus to destroy or damage the plant. But the CSIRO has modified the RNA into a double strand which the plant recognizes as foreign immediately, triggering its natural defenses against the virus. When the real virus invades the plant, it is countered straight away because the plant's system has been primed to fight it.

Strategies for cross-pollinated crops INTRODUCTION back to top Plant breeders generate new crop varieties by carefully choosing and crossing parents, controlling the amount of inbreeding or outcrossing in their progeny, and selecting the best types from among them. Much of the work involved is in evaluation of the progeny during selection. It is as much an art as a science. The crosses between parents are staggered in order to provide a steady flow of plants to evaluate. Basic Genetics for Plant Breeding back to top Genes, Traits, Genome- The modern biological model which explains the inheritance of traits (such as eye color or height) is based on the concept of genes. Genes (from the Greek for race, stock, or descent) are the basic unit of heredity transmitted in the chromosome. Exactly what a gene looks like is not known, but it is known that they posess definite physical locations in the chromosome. Any given trait might be inherited from one gene, or dozens. The genome is sum of an organism's genes together. The majority of genes are the same in all life. A small amount of genes account for the differences between species. Genes can be turned on or off in response to the environment. Changes in the timing of gene expression can dramatically affect a trait. In sexually reproducing organisms, each parent contributes 1 copy of the genome to the children in the sex cells (egg or sperm), all other cells normally contain two copies of each gene (1 from each parent).

http://photoscience.la.asu.edu/photosyn/courses/BIO_343/lecture/genengap.html

Extractions: "Pharming" and "plantibodies" An increasingly viable option is the production of highly valuable enzymes by plants and animals. In addition to production of human proteins in these organisms (see a subsequent section), other valuable proteins that are currently produced by microorganisms could very well be produced by higher organisms instead. Animal and plant "bioreactors" in some respects may be superior to recombinant bacterial systems, because eukaryotes deliver proteins in the generally more desirable glycosylated form. These organismal systems may also be cheaper than cell fermentation techniques. Two examples of production of human proteins in plants include the production of human serum albumin in transgenic tobacco and potato, and production of human insulin by tobacco. In both cases, the produced protein appears to be fully effective in humans. Unfortunately, however, one cannot raise his/her insulin level by eating transgenic tobacco leaves, as the protein in most cases will be broken down to amino acids before it reaches the blood stream. Therefore, in these cases one cannot escape the practice of protein isolation and purification before transgenic leaves are converted into drugs. Over the last few years, also antibodies have been produced in plants. Initially, the antibody's light and heavy chains were produced in different plants. But a subsequent cross of these two varieties resulted in progeny carrying assembled and functional antibodies. These "plantibodies" are now used for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes (see

http://photoscience.la.asu.edu/photosyn/courses/BIO_343/lecture/geneng.html

Extractions: Plant transformation Genetic engineering of plants is much easier than that of animals. There are several reasons for this: (1) there is a natural transformation system for plants (the bacterium Agrobacterium tumefaciens ), (2) plant tissue can redifferentiate (a transformed piece of leaf may be regenerated to a whole plant), and (3) plant transformation and regeneration are relatively easy for a variety of plants. The soil bacterium Agrobacterium tumefaciens ("tumefaciens" meaning tumor-making) can infect wounded plant tissue, transferring a large plasmid, the Ti plasmid, to the plant cell. Part of the Ti (tumor-inducing) plasmid apparently randomly integrates into the chromosome of the plant. The integrated part of the plasmid contains genes for the synthesis of (1) food for the bacterium, and (2) plant hormones. Genes from the Ti plasmid that are integrated in the plant chromosome are expressed at high levels in the plant. Overproduction of the plant hormones leads to continuous growth of the transformed cells, causing plant tumors. Rapid, cancerous growth of the transformed plant tissue obviously is advantageous to the bacterium: more food gets produced. The Ti plasmid has been genetically modified ("disarmed") by deleting the genes involved in the production of bacterial food and of plant hormones, and inserting a gene that can be used as a selectable marker. Selectable marker genes generally are coding for proteins involved in breakdown of antibiotics, such as kanamycin. Any gene of interest can be inserted into the Ti plasmid as well. In principle, one can thus transform any plant tissue, and select transformants by screening for antibiotic resistance. However, unfortunately, there are some complications: (1) it has proven difficult to transform monocots (grasses, maize) by

After the material was exposed, it was returned to the home organization for propagation and mutation screening. The organization then tracked mutations that appeared useful. Aside from the color and size changes that were achieved in a number of ornamental plants, an outstanding success story of this program concerns peppermint. Some years ago, the sole source of peppermint oil in the U.S. was the Mitcham variety, until it fell to a wilt disease caused by the verticillium fungus.
