“…Genetic engineering (transgenic technique) allows addition of alien genes from any living organism to the rice gene pool to impart a useful function. This technique allows breeders to accomplish objectives which cannot be achieved through conventional plant breeding [12]. Quite recently, genome editing technique has been added to the rice breeding methods.…”

Hybrid rice varieties exploit the phenomenon of heterosis to out-yield their inbred counterpart to increase productivity per unit area. Unlike inbred rice varieties whose seeds could be used for replanting season after season, farmers will have to purchase seeds of hybrids every season to obtain the expected yield and other quality attributes. While the hybrid system is a disadvantage to farmers in terms of mandatory seed purchase, it serves as a motivation and opportunity for private seed companies to recoup their investment and therefore encourages their involvement in seed production research and development. Hybrid rice technology originated from China and is well commercialized in Asia and the Americas. Africa is among the few places where hybrid rice is still not fully commercialized. Besides Egypt, many African countries have just begun to exploit the benefits of hybrid rice technology. A number of introduced hybrids have exhibited a 15–20% yield advantage over the available top inbred varieties. Most African countries also have a conducive environment for viable hybrid rice seed production. Besides other pertinent challenges, some which can be addressed technically, there should be a recommended production package that will give farmers the best of yield to enable hybrid rice contribute to attaining rice self-sufficiency in Africa.

“…This method of genetic transformation involves the plant tissues or cells being bombarded with microscopic particles (gold or tungsten particles) coated with the DNA fragment containing the genes to be transferred using a device called gene gun. The DNA fragment coated on particles is incorporated into the host genome through a recombination and repair process (Sah et al, 2014). The microprojectile method helps to conquer some of the insufficiencis of Agrobacterium mediated method such as bacterial contagion, less-efficiency of transfer to cereal crops, and discrepancy of results (Strobek et al, 2014).…”

“…This method of gene delivery offers various advantages over other methods such as clean insertion, low-copy number of the inserted genes, easy to handle, higher efficiency, more predictable pattern of foreign DNA integration. Studies on A. tumefaciens provided the basis that has made this soil bacterium as a dominant customer for plant transformation (Sah et al, 2014). Nasu et al (1997) used Agrobacteriummediated transformation method to develop a transgenic plant of M. polymorpha but the transgenic plant developed was not intact.…”

“…Also the delivered DNA can be maneuvered to persuade the quality and structure of the consequential transgene loci. This strategy can be used for the transfer of more than one gene concurrently in a host plant (Sah et al, 2014). Gene-gun based transformation was used for the functional study of genes by over-expression, silencing of genes and mutagenesis (Kajikawa et al, 2003;Yamaoka et al, 2004;Kajikawa et al, 2008).…”

“…The study reported that the use of immature thalli grown from spores instead of gemmae (Takenaka et al, 2000) increases the particle bombardment transformation efficiency. This process is the most well-organized approach to attain plastid transformation in plants and is the lone method which is so far used to accomplish mitochondrial transformation (Johnston et al, 1988;Sah et al, 2014). Plastid transformation of M. polymorpha suspension cultured cells was done using particle bombardment (Chiyoda et al, 2007;Chiyoda et al, 2014).…”

The liverwort, Marchantia polymorpha L., one of the species of first land plants is a promising model plant system for the analysis of diverse facets of contemporary plant biology. The unique characteristics of the plant such as dominant haploid gametophytic generation enables the isolation and disruption of mutant for genetic analysis, rapid sexual and asexual reproduction can be induced under controlled conditions which leads to the formation of genetically homogenous lines and also the complete organelle genome sequence of chloroplast and mitochondria has been established. In addition, the ongoing whole genome sequencing of M. polymorpha by the community sequencing plan at the Joint Genome Institute specifies the conservation of several mechanisms of biological science that are instituted in other terrestrial plants in a smaller extent of intricacy. Thus, with the development of several feasible and reliable genetic transformation strategies, in vitro cell culture, gene silencing, targeted gene modification and its critical evolutionary position make this plant as a potential model plant to study evolutionary and developmental biology in detail.
