New technique for creating fruits and vegetables and vegetables of the other and vegetables that could be more resistant to pests and droughts.
Many fruits and vegetables we eat Embedded plants come Cut a part of a plant and generated by replacing a part of another. What makes it useful for vaccination is that plants related to hybridization can also be embedded together. For example, a desirable fruit plant can be inserted in a rootstock that is resistant to plague and disease.
Very occasionally, it arises from the crossroads between the plant plants, called vaccination-chimera. This can happen because the shoots are developed from different layers of the three-mother mother, and one of them form the skin of the plant. By chance, shooting from a scraping crossroads can end the two-plant cell type mixture.
Typically, the creation of a certain type of plant insert requires vaccination for each you want to practice, so it is tax to make large quantities. But small vaccinations can be extended by cutting from them or they simply turn their tubers, more desirable.
However, researchers occasionally deliberately created vaccination chimers, it is not easy. Many of the chimeras known to be known, such as citrus, are a very rare by-product of conventional inserts.
Now, Jeroen Stuurman In Keygene, a Netherlands crop technology company has said that it has developed a reliable way to create grapes chimers for the first time. It will not reveal the details of the method, but says that potatoes, tomatoes and eggplant uses different Christians between varieties and sweet peppers and peppers.
For a vaccination-chimera potato, other meat called pimpelel-called a variety and bintje, Keygene has given the rights of plant breeders: equivalent to copyright. This is a vaccination for a chimera. The achievement of these rights shows that production is a feasible business, as Stuurman says. “For us, this has now been the signal we can enter in the next step.”
The company also intends to create chimers embedded with properties Resistance to plague and disease. Strength of pest resistance is often due to structures such as trichomas on the surface of the plants, which can reproduce or Sticky substances to cheet insectsStuurman says. Trichomes is very difficult to transfer between conventional growth between varieties of plants or genetic engineering Because many genes involve, but his method provides an effectively “skin transplant” variety.
Because the potatoes have already grown tubers than seeds, the farmers would begin to grow tomorrow tomorrow, Stuurman says. “No changes needed things to grow.”
“It’s really interesting to make small inserts with commercially important properties,” he says Charles Melny From the University of Sweden in Agriculture Sciences. “I don’t notice before doing so, so their finding is very significant.”
Chimeras tend to be unstable, which means that they can return to a original form, but Keygen had to overcome this to obtain plant breeders Colin turnbull Imperial College in London. “Newness” seems to be the stability of skin inserts, such as marketing variety. “
