Transgenic Rice for Stress Tolerance | Genetics

This article provides a case study on transgenic rice for stress tolerance. Production of agronomically useful transgenic rice has been given top priority in the improvement of crop plants. The loss of rice yield due to stress impact is estimated to cost at least several billion dollars a year. Genetic engineering offers effective way to deal with these problems. Moreover, [...]

Metabolic Engineering of Golden Rice | Genetics

In this article we will discuss about the metabolic engineering of golden rice. Golden rice was contributed by two German research team headed by Potrykus of Swiss Institute of Technology in Zurich. Peter Beyer of the University of Freiburg. The team has engineered Japonica rice variety by adding three genes, two of which are new to genetic engiĀ­neering and are [...]

Blood Group Alleles in Man | Genetics

In this article we will discus about the blood group alleles in man. The ABO blood group system in man provides an excellent illustration of a multiple allelic system. If blood from two persons is allowed to mix outside the body, sometimes it will mix well, at other times there is clumping (agglutination) of red blood cells. The reason for [...]
