Methods of Gene Transfer used in Plants

The following methods highlight the two important methods of gene transfer used in plants. The methods are: 1. Indirect Method 2. Direct Method. 1. Indirect Method: Transfer via Agrobacterium: The transfor­mation of a plant can be carried out directly by using Agrobacterium spp. which is a common bacterium causing crown gall tumour in legumes. This bacterium carries a plasmid with [...]

Short Notes on Genomic and cDNA Libraries

The below mentioned article provides a short note on the genomic and cDNA libraries in genetic engineering. A genomic library is a collection of independently isolated vector linked DNA fragments derived from a single organism. It contains at least one copy of every DNA sequence in the genome. An ideal library is one that represents all of the sequences with [...]
