GENETIC ENGINEERING FOR IMPARTING ABIOTIC STRESS TOLERANCE IN RICE - A REVIEW
Journal Title: International Journal of Agriculture Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 8, Issue 54
Abstract
Rice is a very important cereal crop, grown on 160 million hectares worldwide. It is a chief and primary resource of pabulum for more than a moiety of the population and more than 90 per cent of the world’s rice is grown and consumed in Asia. Abiotic stress conditions such as cold, salinity and drought are the major limitations in modern agriculture, which negatively influence plant growth and productivity. Hence, it is high time to develop crop plants with traits conferring tolerance to these stresses. Conventional breeding and marker assisted breeding have substantially contributed to our thoughtful of the complexity of stress response. Whereas, genetic engineering techniques provide an efficient and faster way to insert beneficial genes of interest originating from not only same species but also cross barrier species and distant relative sources. Agrobacterium-mediated transformation and biolistic transformation are the most common methods used to introduce the gene enclose into plant cells. This review explains about the basic steps of Agrobacterium-mediated transformation for abiotic stress tolerant rice.
