This document discusses advanced genetic tools that are being developed for plant biotechnology. It begins by outlining the need for new tools to address challenges in improving crop traits and developing biosensing abilities. Recent tools described include synthetic promoters and transcription factors for precise spatiotemporal gene expression control, and genome editing tools like CRISPR/Cas9 that allow for precise genetic modifications. Methods for assembling and transforming large DNA constructs, like entire pathways or synthetic chromosomes, are also discussed. Examples of applications around the world include engineering crops for improved biofuel production. Overall, the development of these new genetic tools is poised to greatly enhance the precision and capabilities of plant biotechnology.
Majority of agronomic traits are quantitative and are controlled polygenetically.Instead of producing transgenic plants through single gene transfer many researchers are attempting on multigene engineering. The simultaneous transfer of multiple genes in to plants will enable us to produce plants with more desirable characters. Engineering of genes coding for complete metabolic pathways, bacterial operons or biopharmaceuticals that require an assembly of complex multisubunit proteins etc are some of the successful examples of multigene engineering.

Introduction:
RNA interference (RNAi) or Post-Transcriptional Gene Silencing (PTGS) is an important biological process for modulating eukaryotic gene expression.
It is highly conserved process of posttranscriptional gene silencing by which double stranded RNA (dsRNA) causes sequence-specific degradation of mRNA sequences.
dsRNA-induced gene silencing (RNAi) is reported in a wide range of eukaryotes ranging from worms, insects, mammals and plants.
This process mediates resistance to both endogenous parasitic and exogenous pathogenic nucleic acids, and regulates the expression of protein-coding genes.
What are small ncRNAs?
micro RNA (miRNA)
short interfering RNA (siRNA)
Properties of small non-coding RNA:
Involved in silencing mRNA transcripts.
Called “small” because they are usually only about 21-24 nucleotides long.
Synthesized by first cutting up longer precursor sequences (like the 61nt one that Lee discovered).
Silence an mRNA by base pairing with some sequence on the mRNA.
Discovery of siRNA?
The first small RNA:
In 1993 Rosalind Lee (Victor Ambros lab) was studying a non- coding gene in C. elegans, lin-4, that was involved in silencing of another gene, lin-14, at the appropriate time in the
development of the worm C. elegans.
Two small transcripts of lin-4 (22nt and 61nt) were found to be complementary to a sequence in the 3' UTR of lin-14.
Because lin-4 encoded no protein, she deduced that it must be these transcripts that are causing the silencing by RNA-RNA interactions.
Types of RNAi ( non coding RNA)
MiRNA
Length (23-25 nt)
Trans acting
Binds with target MRNA in mismatch
Translation inhibition
Si RNA
Length 21 nt.
Cis acting
Bind with target Mrna in perfect complementary sequence
Piwi-RNA
Length ; 25 to 36 nt.
Expressed in Germ Cells
Regulates trnasposomes activity
MECHANISM OF RNAI:
First the double-stranded RNA teams up with a protein complex named Dicer, which cuts the long RNA into short pieces.
Then another protein complex called RISC (RNA-induced silencing complex) discards one of the two RNA strands.
The RISC-docked, single-stranded RNA then pairs with the homologous mRNA and destroys it.
THE RISC COMPLEX:
RISC is large(>500kD) RNA multi- protein Binding complex which triggers MRNA degradation in response to MRNA
Unwinding of double stranded Si RNA by ATP independent Helicase
Active component of RISC is Ago proteins( ENDONUCLEASE) which cleave target MRNA.
DICER: endonuclease (RNase Family III)
Argonaute: Central Component of the RNA-Induced Silencing Complex (RISC)
One strand of the dsRNA produced by Dicer is retained in the RISC complex in association with Argonaute
ARGONAUTE PROTEIN :
1.PAZ(PIWI/Argonaute/ Zwille)- Recognition of target MRNA
2.PIWI (p-element induced wimpy Testis)- breaks Phosphodiester bond of mRNA.)RNAse H activity.
MiRNA:
The Double-stranded RNAs are naturally produced in eukaryotic cells during development, and they have a key role in regulating gene expression .

Observation of Io’s Resurfacing via Plume Deposition Using Ground-based Adapt...Sérgio Sacani
Since volcanic activity was first discovered on Io from Voyager images in 1979, changes
on Io’s surface have been monitored from both spacecraft and ground-based telescopes.
Here, we present the highest spatial resolution images of Io ever obtained from a groundbased telescope. These images, acquired by the SHARK-VIS instrument on the Large
Binocular Telescope, show evidence of a major resurfacing event on Io’s trailing hemisphere. When compared to the most recent spacecraft images, the SHARK-VIS images
show that a plume deposit from a powerful eruption at Pillan Patera has covered part
of the long-lived Pele plume deposit. Although this type of resurfacing event may be common on Io, few have been detected due to the rarity of spacecraft visits and the previously low spatial resolution available from Earth-based telescopes. The SHARK-VIS instrument ushers in a new era of high resolution imaging of Io’s surface using adaptive
optics at visible wavelengths.

Further driving market expansion are product formulation innovations and the use of cutting-edge technology for customized nutrition. With its worldwide reach, the nutraceutical industry is expected to keep growing and provide significant chances for research and investment in a number of categories, including vitamins, minerals, probiotics, and herbal supplements.
Cancer cell metabolism: special Reference to Lactate PathwayAADYARAJPANDEY1
Normal Cell Metabolism:
Cellular respiration describes the series of steps that cells use to break down sugar and other chemicals to get the energy we need to function.
Energy is stored in the bonds of glucose and when glucose is broken down, much of that energy is released.
Cell utilize energy in the form of ATP.
The first step of respiration is called glycolysis. In a series of steps, glycolysis breaks glucose into two smaller molecules - a chemical called pyruvate. A small amount of ATP is formed during this process.
Most healthy cells continue the breakdown in a second process, called the Kreb's cycle. The Kreb's cycle allows cells to “burn” the pyruvates made in glycolysis to get more ATP.
The last step in the breakdown of glucose is called oxidative phosphorylation (Ox-Phos).
It takes place in specialized cell structures called mitochondria. This process produces a large amount of ATP. Importantly, cells need oxygen to complete oxidative phosphorylation.
If a cell completes only glycolysis, only 2 molecules of ATP are made per glucose. However, if the cell completes the entire respiration process (glycolysis - Kreb's - oxidative phosphorylation), about 36 molecules of ATP are created, giving it much more energy to use.
IN CANCER CELL:
Unlike healthy cells that "burn" the entire molecule of sugar to capture a large amount of energy as ATP, cancer cells are wasteful.
Cancer cells only partially break down sugar molecules. They overuse the first step of respiration, glycolysis. They frequently do not complete the second step, oxidative phosphorylation.
This results in only 2 molecules of ATP per each glucose molecule instead of the 36 or so ATPs healthy cells gain. As a result, cancer cells need to use a lot more sugar molecules to get enough energy to survive.

introduction to WARBERG PHENOMENA:
WARBURG EFFECT Usually, cancer cells are highly glycolytic (glucose addiction) and take up more glucose than do normal cells from outside.
Otto Heinrich Warburg (; 8 October 1883 – 1 August 1970) In 1931 was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology for his "discovery of the nature and mode of action of the respiratory enzyme.
WARNBURG EFFECT : cancer cells under aerobic (well-oxygenated) conditions to metabolize glucose to lactate (aerobic glycolysis) is known as the Warburg effect. Warburg made the observation that tumor slices consume glucose and secrete lactate at a higher rate than normal tissues.
Deep Behavioral Phenotyping in Systems Neuroscience for Functional Atlasing a...Ana Luísa Pinho
Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) provides means to characterize brain activations in response to behavior. However, cognitive neuroscience has been limited to group-level effects referring to the performance of specific tasks. To obtain the functional profile of elementary cognitive mechanisms, the combination of brain responses to many tasks is required. Yet, to date, both structural atlases and parcellation-based activations do not fully account for cognitive function and still present several limitations. Further, they do not adapt overall to individual characteristics. In this talk, I will give an account of deep-behavioral phenotyping strategies, namely data-driven methods in large task-fMRI datasets, to optimize functional brain-data collection and improve inference of effects-of-interest related to mental processes. Key to this approach is the employment of fast multi-functional paradigms rich on features that can be well parametrized and, consequently, facilitate the creation of psycho-physiological constructs to be modelled with imaging data. Particular emphasis will be given to music stimuli when studying high-order cognitive mechanisms, due to their ecological nature and quality to enable complex behavior compounded by discrete entities. I will also discuss how deep-behavioral phenotyping and individualized models applied to neuroimaging data can better account for the subject-specific organization of domain-general cognitive systems in the human brain. Finally, the accumulation of functional brain signatures brings the possibility to clarify relationships among tasks and create a univocal link between brain systems and mental functions through: (1) the development of ontologies proposing an organization of cognitive processes; and (2) brain-network taxonomies describing functional specialization. To this end, tools to improve commensurability in cognitive science are necessary, such as public repositories, ontology-based platforms and automated meta-analysis tools. I will thus discuss some brain-atlasing resources currently under development, and their applicability in cognitive as well as clinical neuroscience.
(May 29th, 2024) Advancements in Intravital Microscopy- Insights for Preclini...Scintica Instrumentation
Intravital microscopy (IVM) is a powerful tool utilized to study cellular behavior over time and space in vivo. Much of our understanding of cell biology has been accomplished using various in vitro and ex vivo methods; however, these studies do not necessarily reflect the natural dynamics of biological processes. Unlike traditional cell culture or fixed tissue imaging, IVM allows for the ultra-fast high-resolution imaging of cellular processes over time and space and were studied in its natural environment. Real-time visualization of biological processes in the context of an intact organism helps maintain physiological relevance and provide insights into the progression of disease, response to treatments or developmental processes.
In this webinar we give an overview of advanced applications of the IVM system in preclinical research. IVIM technology is a provider of all-in-one intravital microscopy systems and solutions optimized for in vivo imaging of live animal models at sub-micron resolution. The system’s unique features and user-friendly software enables researchers to probe fast dynamic biological processes such as immune cell tracking, cell-cell interaction as well as vascularization and tumor metastasis with exceptional detail. This webinar will also give an overview of IVM being utilized in drug development, offering a view into the intricate interaction between drugs/nanoparticles and tissues in vivo and allows for the evaluation of therapeutic intervention in a variety of tissues and organs. This interdisciplinary collaboration continues to drive the advancements of novel therapeutic strategies.

Need of new genetic tools
1. Challenges in applied biology
challenges in translational and applied plant biology
At one end of the spectrum, there is a need to improve existing plant
characteristics for improving yield and stress tolerance in crops to
adapt to changing environments
At the other end of the spectrum, biosensing and producing valuable
compounds

4. In the middle of this continuum is the alteration of plant metabolism,
development and growth, which could improve existing functions or
make new products.
Biotechnology is required to help to meet these needs and
expectations in plant sciences and agriculture.
2. limitations of old genetic techniques
Genetic engineering in plants is not a new technology; 30 years old.
The main tools for introducing foreign DNA into plants, Agrobacterium
tumefaciens-mediated transformation and biolistics, were invented in
the 1980s. All transgenic crops were produced using these methods.

5. Genetic engineering directly manipulates the genome of an organism
a DNA construct is inserted into one or more chromosomes in a
random manner and into one or more loci.
effective in cases in which simple traits, such as herbicide tolerance
and insect resistance.
However, the random nature of gene insertions can have undesirable
effects, and are not favourable for making large concerted changes,
such as adding an entire metabolic pathway into a plant.

7. RECENT GENETIC TOOLS
synthetic promoters
‘tunable’ transcription factors I.e. Synthetic
transcriptional activators and repressors.
Precise genome editing tools
methods for the assembly and synthesis of large DNA
molecules,
plant transformation with large constructs (organelle,
nuclear transformation and plant artificial chromosomes)
7
8. 1. Synthetic promoters
Synthetic promoters typically use computationally designed and
empirically tested cis-regulatory elements (or motifs), which act as
sites for transcription factor binding.
The typical synthetic promoter contains DNA sequences that are found
in native plant promoters, but these sequences are usually rearranged
and condensed in a form that does not exist in nature
synthetic promoters can be designed to be short and strong, and they
can be used as regulatory devices for constitutive, inducible, spatial
(tissue-specific) or temporal (developmental stage-specific) gene
expression.
8
9. EXAMPLE
multimerized cis-regulatory elements and signal
transduction pathways were used to create
phytosensors that detect plant pathogenic
bacteria.

11. SOME LIMITATIONS FOUND
Synthetic promoter engineering in plants is currently limited by the
availability of known functional cis-regulatory elements and by computational
modelling software.
experience regarding the design strategy for the assembly of different units
to generate functional promoters.
Such integration will result in synthetic promoters that bear little
resemblance to those found in nature.
11
12. 2. Synthetic transcriptional activators and
repressors
first priority for fine-tuning transgene expression in plants is synthetic
promoter but synthetic transcriptional activators or repressors are also there
COMPOSITION
Fusion proteins that consist of engineered DNA-binding domains and catalytic
effector domains.
Types
1. (ZF-TFs)
2. Engineered transcription activator-like effectors (TALEs)
12
13. 1. ZF-TFs
Engineered zinc-finger proteins (ZFPs) have been used for
gene activation or repression in plants by fusing them to
transcriptional activation or repression domains,
respectively
Synthetic zinc-finger-transcription factors (ZF-TFs) that
contains activation domains have been used for the
targeted activation in A. thaliana and canola.
13
14. 2. TALEs
Major virulence factors (containing an amino terminus, a unique type
of centr, a DNA-binding domain and a carboxyl terminus with the
activation domain) that are secreted by the pathogenic Xanthomonas
spp. Bacterium when it infects plants.
Their DNA-binding domains can be custom-designed to specifically
bind to any DNA sequences.
Synthetic TALEs might be simpler to design than ZFPs, as they do not
have to be screened against expression libraries, which is a
requirement of ZFP design
14
16. Some downsides…..
The distance from the transcription initiation
sites to the DNA-binding sites of TALE-TFs and ZF-
TFs is not fixed.
generating ZF-TFs and TALE-TFs with suitable
specificity and efficiency will require careful
design and testing.
16
17. 3. Precise genome editing
genome editing by deletion and/or mutation of genes of
interest is poised to have, perhaps, the greatest effect on
plant biotechnology
Site-specific recombinases and/ or various newer tools are
useful for creating DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) within
plant genomes.
Types
Engineered nucleases such as zinc-finger nucleases (ZFNs)
TALE nucleases (TALENs)
17
18. Zinc-finger nucleases
Fusions of engineered zinc-finger arrays to a non-specific
DNA-cleavage domain of the FokI endonuclease.
TALE nucleases
Fusions of truncated TALEs to a non-specific DNA-cleavage
domain of the FokI endonuclease.
have also been used for multiple gene knockouts of four
genes in rice and eight genes in Brachypodium spp
18
20. 4. Advanced DNA assembly and synthesis
tools
Engineering plants for a greater range of applications requires the
introduction of multiple genes or entire pathways into the plant
genome. Our ability to meet this goal is highly limited by traditional
approaches that rely on multiple rounds of transformation, traditional
breeding methods and transgenes that are located on multiple loci.
So far, the integration of 4–9 genes has resulted in the production of
multimeric protein complexes.
20
21. The commercial synthesis of ~1–3 kb-long DNA fragments is routine.
de novo synthesis of entire plant genomes is out of reach, but it is
feasible to synthesize small artificial chromosomes and to by-pass
cloning steps.
Recently developed DNA assembly methods have been applied to
bacterial systems and could be used in plants in the future.
several automation and assembly software packages have been
published to greatly help gene assembly. For example, j5

23. 5. Transformation with large constructs
Large DNA constructs and multigenes can be
integrated into a suitable plant host by either
organelle or nuclear transformation. However,
artificial chromosomes provide the most
promising transgenic technology for integrating
long
23
24. 5 (a). Organelle genome transformation
In this approach, the construct is flanked by two plastid
sequences in the transformation vectors, which can be
delivered into plastid genomes by biolistics or by
polyethylene glycol treatment of protoplasts
It permits non-Mendelian inheritance of co-delivered
genes, prevents pollen-mediated spread of transgenes and
avoids unwanted epigenetic effects.
24
25. Transplastomic plants have been shown to stably
express transgenes at high levels owing to the
numerous plastid copies
ADVANTAGES AND APPLICATIONS
powerful approach for the production of synthetic
recombinant proteins and pharmaceuticals
for the engineering of metabolic pathways or
pest resistance
25
26. 5 (b) Nuclear genome transformation
Nuclear genome transformation is now widely carried out in
most economically important plant species.
Multiple genes are also routinely stacked in transgenic plants
by iterative processes; that is, successive rounds of crossing
or sequential transformation of transgenic plants with
additional genes.
26
27. methods include
virus-mediated transfer
the use of transformation-competent artificial chromosomes (TACs)
Binary bacterial artificial chromosomes (BIBACs)
Multiple round in vivo site specific assembly (MISSA-assisted transfer)
plant artificial chromosome-assisted transformation
27
28. virus-mediated transfer
Viruses naturally invade and replicate in their hosts, and
they can naturally express many viral genes in the host.
Viral vectors can travel between cells and have the
attractive feature of not integrating into the host plant
genome.
Currently, most plant biotechnology work using viral
vectors consists of the non-transgenic overproduction of
one or two recombinant proteins in tobacco or petunia.
28
29. TAC
Each TAC vector contains a bacteriophage P1
origin of replication, a Cre–loxP recombination
system and two rare-cutter endonucleases,
allowing multiple rounds of recombination in
bacteria for the transfer of up to 80 kb of DNA.
29
30. BIBAC
BIBAC vectors, which combine the features of A.
tumefaciens binary plasmids and bacterial artificial
chromosomes (BACs) that contain the assembled DNA
inserts, have permitted the transfer of 150 kb of DNA into
tobacco.
One downside of BIBACs is the potential for the transfer
of plasmid backbone sequences
30
31. MISSA
This system is composed of bacterial donor
and recipient strains, and corresponding
donor and recipient vectors that are based
on either TAC or BIBAC vectors. It allows
completely in vivo multigene transfer and
assembly within the donor strains before
transformation into rice
31
32. Plant artificial chromosome
A functional minichromosome requires three types of
elements: a centromere, telomeres and an origin of
replication.
have the potential to allow gene stacking, engineering of
complete metabolic pathways into plants, coordinated
transformation of complex traits.
32
33. Progress around the world
the US Department of Energy Advanced Research Projects Agency-
Energy (ARPA-E) has recently funded ten projects for their Plants
Engineered to Replace Oil (PETRO) programme130.
A total of US$36 million has been provided for projects by Energy
Advanced Research Projects Agency- Energy (ARPA-E) to modify
bioenergy feedstocks to produce novel compounds that can be used as
drop-in fuels.
One example is a grant given to the University of Illinois of more than
$3.2 million to engineer sugarcane (Saccharum spp.) and Sorghum
bicolor with increased photosynthesis and oil production efficiencies.
33
34. Conclusion
A primary goal of plant biotechnology is to increase crop yield
However, great advances in plant biotechnology will require more
precise tools than those that have been widely used so far.
The next iteration of technological advancement will depend on how
we use systems biology for the discovery and better understanding of
genes and pathways that can be modified using the new genetic tools.
We can apply to plants the engineering principles that are used to
design and alter microorganisms, and those used to construct artificial
biological systems and devices that exhibit predictable behaviours
