Mechanism of Agrobacterium mediated gene transfer
The last article described the Agrobacterium-mediated gene transfer in plants via Ti-plasmid, in this article the mechanism of transfer of T-DNA is described in detail. The process of integration of Ti-plasmid in plants is mediated…
Agrobacterium-mediated transformation of plants
As discussed in previous articles, the Agrobacterium-mediated transformation of plants is the most widely used technique for plant transformation. In this article, we will discuss the technique in detail. Agrobacterium is a naturally occurring, Gram-negative…
ABC model of flower development in plants
Flower development in plants is governed by flowering genes. Flowering genes in plants are of two types, floral meristem identity genes, and floral organs identity genes. The floral organ identity genes fall under the category…
Edible Vaccine
In near future, children can be immunized/vaccinated by chewing food instead of administering injections shots. HOW? By using Edible Vaccines. As explained in our previous articles, vaccines are biological preparations introduced in body to improve…
Genetically Modified Crops
Since the domestication of the plants, efforts are made all over the world to increase the yield of plant products and obtain different plant products via conserving the useful traits in plants. In the recent…
Northern Blotting
Each organism genome contains 1000s of genes, each gene (or DNA) is transcribed into RNA, which is eventually translated into protein. Blotting technique for the detection of RNA is known as Northern blotting. To study…
Plant Hormones
In complex organisms like mammals to keep all the cellular as well as physiological processes going, communication between cells, tissues and organs is of paramount importance. This communication is achieved because of specific molecules known…
