Genetic Enhancement for Plant Insect Resistance

This cloned soybean cysteine protease inhibitor gene is involved in plant response to biotic stress and its overexpression in plants leads to enhanced insect resistance. Biotic stresses such as destructive pests and plant diseases cause substantial losses in crop yield and quality. In the U.S. alone, pest-related crop losses are estimated at $33 billion...

Transgenic Creeping Bentgrass Plants with Enhanced Stress Tolerance (2014-070)

Overexpression of the miR396c gene in transgenic creeping bentgrass allows for better control of plant flowering and enhances crop performance under adverse environmental conditions. Abiotic stresses such as drought, salt, and nitrogen deficiency are limiting factors for plant growth, development, and agricultural productivity. Therefore, it is critical...
