Crop Biotech Update July 30, 2014 www.isaaa.org/kc/cropbiotechupdate

International Team Decodes African Rice Genome Section: News from Around the World An international team of researchers has sequenced the complete genome of African rice Oryza glaberrima. This new development will enable scientists to develop new rice varieties that are better able to cope with increasing environmental stresses to help solve global hunger challenges. The research effort was led by Rod Wing, director of the Genomics Institute at the University of Arizona. "Rice feeds half the world, making it the most important food crop," Wing said. He added that the African rice genome is important because many of the genes code for traits that make African rice resistant to environmental stress, such as drought, salinity, and flooding. The genetic information will enhance understanding of the growing patterns of African rice, and will allow scientists to search for ways to cross Asian and African species to develop new varieties of rice. The results of the sequencing project were published in an open-access paper by Nature Genetics (doi:10.1038/ng.3044). For more information, read the news release available at: http://uanews.org/story/generating-a-genome-to-feed-the-world-ua-led-team-decodes-african-rice.

Biotechnology in Africa – Emergence, Initiatives and Future Section: News from Around the World The newly published  book Biotechnology in Africa: Emergence, Initiatives and Future contains the summary of biotechnology status in Africa with stress on the importance of political will in solving food and nutritional security in Africa. The book was edited by Florence Wambugu and Daniel Kamanga of Africa Harvest Biotech Foundation. The book offers African voices from multidisciplinary fields to be allowed to set the continent's biotechnology development agenda. According to the authors, Africa's political leaders must see both clear benefits and have elbow-room to drive the change required. This is the way that African... [READ MORE] Seedcake Extract from GM Flax Has Broad Spectrum Antibacterial Activity Section: Research Highlights The antibiotic resistance of pathogenic microorganisms is a worldwide problem. To solve this, new antibiotics are needed. Magdalena Zuk and researchers from the Wroclaw University in Poland now study the potential of genetically modified flax in producing antibiotics. Transgenic flax plants produce compounds with potential antimicrobial activity. An alkali hydrolyzed seedcake extract from flax seeds was used against several pathogenic bacteria. Results showed the antibacterial activity of the extract which may be due to bacterial topoisomerase II inhibition and genomic DNA disintegration... [READ MORE]
