Differentiation of Hybrid (COTH2) and Wild (CO3) Varieties of Tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum) Using Protein and Peroxidase Isozyme Profile
Abstract: The protein profile by SDS-PAGE and the native PAGE profile of the isoenzyme peroxidase of a hybrid tomato plant (Lycopersicon esculentum) variety (COTH2) and wild-type plants (CO3) were compared in order to adopt them as markers to differentiate them. The hybrid plant, which were resistant to leaf curl disease, was found to have higher protein content compared to its wild variety in the leaf extracts of the plants. Presence of …

Edible Transgenic Plant Vaccines – An Overview and Update
Abstract: Normal 0 false false false EN-IN X-NONE X-NONE Plants are used as bioreactors to express antigenic molecules to be administered as vaccines. Edible transgenic plant vaccines (ETPV) are plant materials (recombinant protein subunit vaccines), and the edible plant tissue functions as an oral vaccine. ETPV are mucosal targeted vaccines where stimulation of both systematic and mucosal immune network takes place and these diminish the utilization of conventional animal or bacterial …
