Overexpression of an Arabidopsis thaliana ABC transporter confers kanamycin resistance to transgenic plants

Article Abstract:

A plant gene, 'Atwbc19', the gene that encodes an 'Arabidopsis thaliana' ATP binding cassette (ABC) transporter and confers antibiotic resistance to transgenic plants is characterized. The mechanism of resistance is novel, and the levels of resistance achieved are comparable to those attained through expression of bacterial antibiotic-resistance genes in transgenic tobacco using the CaMV 35S promoter.

Herbicide-resistance conferred by expression of a catalytic antibody in Arabidopsis thaliana

Article Abstract:

A demonstration that herbicide-resistant plants could be engineered by designing an herbicide and expressing a catalytic antibody that destroys the herbicide in planta is presented. A carbamate herbicide that could be catalytically destroyed by the aldolase antibody 38C2 is developed.

Insect resistance conferred by 283-kDa Photorhabdus luminescens protein TcdA in Arabidopsis thaliana

Article Abstract:

The efficacy of transgenic toxin A in Arabidopsis thaliana for control of feeding insects is tested. The tcdA gene of Photorhabdus luminescens encodes a 283-kDa protein, toxin A that is highly toxic to a variety of insects including some agriculturally important pests.
