GM Rice in India
The rice transformation also included the bar gene for herbicide tolerance as a selectable marker driven by a CaMV promoter and terminated with tnos. The transgenic crop showed greater growth than the non-transgenic line under drought conditions [12]. Heat tolerance is important in most rice producing countries. It has been found that a heat shock ...
