TRANSGENIC MALE STERLITY ARUSHI ARORA A-2016-30-050 MSc.1 st Year Crop improvement
TRANSGENE A transgene is a gene or genetic material that has been transferred naturally, or by any of a number of genetic engineering techniques from one organism to another. The introduction of a transgene has the potential to change the phenotype of an organism.
TRANSGENIC MALE STERILITY When the male sterility is induced by the techniques of genetic engineering , it is called as transgenic male sterility. It is heritable and basically comes under genetic male sterility. In this system, the two kinds of genes are involved. One gene causes male sterility (integrated with genome of A line) while the other suppresses it (in R line).
