Genetic engineering has led to pest and herbicide resistance in plants. The document discusses how the Bt gene from Bacillus thuringiensis was introduced into plants like cotton to make them resistant to lepidopteran insect pests. It also describes how Roundup Ready soybeans were developed to be resistant to the herbicide glyphosate by expressing a modified version of the EPSPS enzyme. The mechanisms of action of Bt toxins and glyphosate resistance are explained at the molecular level. Overall, the genetic engineering of pest and herbicide resistance traits in crops provides environmental and economic benefits over traditional pesticide and herbicide use.
This presentation focus on how can be develop of herbicides resistant plants, Role of herbicides resistant plant, action of herbicides in unusual plants and agronomic importance of herbicides resistant plants.

An overview of the Agrobacterium-mediated gene transfer process. Moreover, studied different kinds of Agrobacterium species are involved in this mechanism.
Agrobacterium is a rod-shaped, Gram-negative bacteria found mostly in the soil. It is a plant pathogen that is responsible for causing crown gall disease in them. This bacteria is also known as the natural genetic engineer because of it's the ability to integrate its plasmid Gene into the plant genome.
Agrobacterium tumefaciens transfer of their genetic material T-DNA of Ti-plasmid into the plant cell: A: Agrobacterium tumefaciens; B: Agrobacterium genome; C: Ti Plasmid : a: T-DNA , b: Vir genes , c: Replication origin , d: Opines catabolism genes; D: Plant cell
A Ti-Plasmid (tumor-inducing plasmid) is a ds, circular DNA that often, but not always. It's a piece of genetic equipment that transfers genetic material from bacterial cells means Agrobacterium tumefaciens into plant cells used to induce tumors in the plant. The Ti-plasmid is damage when Agrobacterium is grown above 28 °C. Such cured bacteria don't induce crown gall disease in the plant due to they are avirulent. The Ti-Plasmid are classified into two types on the basis of opine genes are present in T-DNA.
The Plasmid has 196 genes that code for 195 proteins. There is no one structural RNA. The plasmid is 206.479 nucleotides long. the GC content is 56% and 81% of the genetic material is coding genes.
The modification of this plasmid is a very important source in the production of transgenic plants.
The T-DNA must be cut out of the circular plasmid. A VirD1/D2 complex nicks the DNA at the left and right border sequences. The VirD2 protein is covalently attached to the 5' end. VirD2 contains a motif that leads to the nucleoprotein complex being targeted to the type IV secretion system (T4SS).
In the cytoplasm of the recipient cell, the T-DNA complex becomes coated with VirE2 proteins, which are exported through the T4SS independently from the T-DNA complex. Nuclear localization signals, or NLS, located on the VirE2 and VirD2 are recognized by the importin alpha protein, which then associates with importin beta and the nuclear pore complex to transfer the T-DNA into the nucleus. So that the T-DNA can integrate into the host genome.
We inoculate Agrobacterium containing our genes of interest, onto wounded plant tissue explants. The Agrobacterium then transfers the gene of interest into the DNA of the plant tissue.

The different types of external stresses that influence the plant growth and development.
These stresses are grouped based on their characters
Biotic
Abiotic
Almost all the stresses, either directly or indirectly, lead to the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) that create oxidative stress in plants.
This damages the cellular constituents of plants which are associated with a reduction in plant yield.
A process where an embryo is derived from a single somatic cell or group of somatic cells. Somatic embryos (SEs) are formed from plant cells that are not normally involved in embryo formation.
Embryos formed by somatic embryogenesis are called Embryoids.
The process was discovered for the first time in Daucas carota L. (carrot) by Steward (1958), Reinert (1959).

Genetic Engineering in Insect Pest management Mohd Irshad
gene incorporation is gaining attention across the globe with the aim of improving plant health, crop protection, and sustainable crop production. This versatile method of Scientific cultivation should be adopted by the growers as it has been investigated and assessed by experts and environmentalists. There is not any kind of toxic effect on mammalian.
Introduction: Biotechnology is an emerging field of research as it has the potential to solve many biological problems which could not be solved till now with conventional techniques.
The use of biology to develop technologies and products for the welfare of human beings is known as Biotechnology. It has various applications in different fields such as Therapeutics, Diagnostics, Processed Food, Waste Management, Energy Production, Genetically Modified Crops etc.
Biotechnology means 'applications of scientific and engineering principles to biological processes to provide goods and services'. Full understanding of biological processes is possible with detailed analysis of gene structure and function i.e. the Genetic Engineering means the introduction of manipulated genetic material (DNA) into a cell in such a way as to replicate and be passed on to progeny cells'. The outcome is attractive and promising.
The biotic stresses are caused by insects, pathogens (viruses, fungi, bacteria), and wounds. The abiotic stresses are due to herbicides, water deficiency (caused by drought, temperature, and salinity), ozone and intense light.
Insect-resistant transgenic crops were first commercialized in the mid-1990s with the introduction of GM corn (maize), potato and cotton plants expressing genes encoding the entomocidal δ-endotoxin from Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt; also known as Cry proteins). In 2010, 148 million ha of biotech crops were grown in 29 countries, representing 10% of all 1.5 billion hectares of cropland in the world. The global value of this seed alone was valued at US $11.2 billion in 2010, with commercial biotech maize, soybean grain and cotton valued at approximately US $150 billion per year. In recent years, it has become evident that Bt-expressing crops have made a significant beneficial impact on global agriculture, not least in terms of pest reduction and improved quality. However, because of the potential for pest populations to evolve resistance, and owing to lack of effective control of homopteran pests, alternative strategies are being developed. Some of these are based on Bacillus spp., e.g. vegetative insecticidal proteins (VIPs) or other insect pathogens.
Genetic modification of plants involves adding a specific stretch of DNA into the plant's genome, giving it new or different characteristics.

3. Pests and Crops
Insects attack agricultural products in field and during
storage
Even with the use of pesticides 13% of the harvested
plant products are lost to insect pests
Insects belonging to Coleoptera, Lepidoptera and
Diptera are major pests
Broad spectrum pesticides are used but have harmful
side effects
Problem tackled with the help of Genetic Engineering
5. Pest Resistance
Genetic transformation has led to enhanced resistance to
insects and pathogens
Rapidly getting commercialized
Chemical free and economically viable approach
Overall process of genetic transformation involves
introduction, integration and expression of foreign gene
in the recipient host plant.
6. Pest Resistance
First reported in tobacco and tomato.
Today, insect resistance transgenes can be introduced to
plants.
Approx 40 different genes conferring insect resistance have
been obtained from microorganisms.
Example: Bt gene from Bacillus Thuringiensis and Ipt gene from
Agrobacterium tumefaciens
7. Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt gene)
Free-living, gram-positive soil
bacterium
Employed as an insecticide from over
20 years
Specificity towards lepidopteran pests
Environmentally safe
8. Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt gene)
Bacillus thuringiensis discovered by Ishiwatari in 1901
Bacterium produces insecticidal crystal protein (ICP) also
known as Cry protein
They are a class of endotoxin – δ endotoxins.
Upon sporulation, B. thuringiensis forms crystals
of proteinaceous insecticidal δ-endotoxins which are encoded
by cry genes
In most strains of B. thuringiensis the cry genes are located on
the plasmid
9. Bt Spray
Earlier, Bt sprays were used to control insect attacks
on plants
Problems faced were:
High-cost of production of insecticide
Instability of the protoxin crystal proteins in field
conditions
Multiple applications were required
Bt products such as sprays are rapidly washed away
by rain, and degrade under the sun's UV rays.
To tackle this, Bt gene has been introduced into
plants
10. The Monsanto Company is a U.S.-
based multinational agricultural biotechnology corporation
It is the world's leading producer of the herbicide
glyphosate, marketed as "Roundup“
Monsanto is also the leading producer of genetically
engineered(GE)seed; it sells 90% of the US's GE seeds
The Company is focused on enabling both small-holder
and large-scale farmers to produce more food, feed, fibre
from their land
10
11. History
First group to report success was Belgian Biotech Company,
Plant Genetic Systems
Truncated Bt gene inserted into tobacco plants
Produced enough endotoxin to kill Manduca sexta larvae
eating its leaf
12. Bt Cotton
The gene coding for Bt toxin has been inserted
into cotton as a transgene
the main pests in commercial cotton
are lepidopteran larvae
eliminates the need to use large amounts of
broad-spectrum insecticides to kill lepidopteran
pests
Bt cotton is ineffective against many cotton pests
such as plant bugs, stink bugs, and aphids
13. Mechanism of Action
Sporulating bt produces non-toxic proteinaceous endotoxin
called protoxin
Upon hydrolysis under alkaline pH of the insect gut, produces
insecticidally active peptides
The active peptides attck specifically brush border membrane of
gut epithelial cells
Paralyses the insect and eventually kills it
Diiferent strains produce different endotoxins specific for
different insects
Bt toxin is safe to humans and other mammals
14.
15. Mechanism of Action
Bt cotton was created through the addition of genes encoding
toxin crystals in the Cry group of endotoxin
When insects attack and eat the cotton plant the Cry toxins are
dissolved due to the high pH level of the insects stomach
The dissolved and activated Cry molecules bond to cadherin-like
proteins on cells comprising the brush border molecules
The epithelium of the brush border membranes separates the
body cavity from the gut whilst allowing access for nutrients
16. Mechanism of Action
The Cry toxin molecules attach themselves to specific locations on
the cadherin-like proteins present on the epithelial cells of the
midge
ion channels are formed which allow the flow of potassium
Regulation of potassium concentration is essential and, if left
unchecked, causes death of cells
Due to the formation of Cry ion channels sufficient regulation of
potassium ions is lost and results in the death of epithelial cells
The death of such cells creates gaps in the brush border
membrane.
17. Problems of Bt cotton cultivation
Seeds are not reusable
Development of resistance to Bt toxins in pests
availability of fake seeds of Bt cotton in the market
gene contamination
17
19. Weeds and Crops
Weeds compete with crop plants for nutrient, light, moisture
Cause considerable decline in quality and yield
Herbicidal compounds are available for weed management
Selection of herbicide depends on:
I. Its effectiveness against the weeds
II. Crop sensitivity
III. Herbicide treatment
20. Problem with herbicides
Several classes of herbicides are
effective for broad spectrum weed
control
Act by inactivating vital enzymes
(involved in photosynthesis)
Hence non-selective and kill or
damaze crop plants
To face this problem, herbicide
resistant plants are generated
21. Herbicide resistant plants
Three approaches:
A. Modification of plant enzyme target of herbicidal action to
render it insensitive to herbicide
B. Overproduction of the unmodified target protein permitting
normal metabolism to occur even in herbicide presence
C. Introduction of an enzyme to degrade herbicide prior to its
action
22. Roundup Ready Soyabean
In 1994 the first genetically modified soybean
was introduced to the U.S. market,
by Monsanto
In 2014, 90.7 million hectares of GM soy were
planted worldwide, 82% of the total soy
cultivation area
Roundup Ready Soybeans are a series
of genetically engineered varieties
of glyphosate-resistant soybeans produced
by Monsanto
23. Glyphosate (A Herbicide)
Also known as Roundup
Glyphosate kills plants by interfering with the synthesis of the essential
amino acids phenylalanine, tyrosine and tryptophan
These amino acids are called "essential" because animals cannot make
them; only plants and micro-organisms can make them and animals obtain
them by eating plants
Plants and microorganisms make these amino acids with an enzyme
called 5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate synthase (EPSPS)
At the molecular level, Glyphosate inhibits this enzymes activity
24.
25. Mechanism of Resistance
express a version of EPSPS from the CP4 strain of the
bacteria, Agrobacterium tumefaciens
expression of which is regulated by an enhanced 35S promoter
(E35S) from cauliflower mosaic virus (CaMV), a chloroplast transit
peptide (CTP4) coding sequence from Petunia hybrida, and a
nopaline synthase (nos 3') transcriptional termination element
from Agrobacterium tumefaciens
The plasmid with EPSPS and the other genetic elements mentioned
above was inserted into soybean germplasm with a gene gun by
scientists at Monsanto and Asgrow
