In this article we will discuss about the regulation of zein gene. The molecular biology of the zein gene system is well established in plant system. Comparison of genomic and cDNA clones have shown that they are totally devoid of intervening sequences. The regulatory signals of zein is TATA box, which is found 30 bp upstream of the transcriptional initiation [...]
The following points highlight the top six plant promoters for genes. The promoters are: 1. Core Promoter 2. Light Responsive Promoters 3. Stress Responsive Promoters 4. Plant Hormonal Responsive Promoters 5. Sucrose Responsive Promoters 6. Low-Oxygen Responsive Promoters. 1. Core Promoter: Core promoter elements are defined as minimal promoter that contain TATA box. These are indispensable for initiation of transcription [...]
In this article we will discuss about the significance of haploids. Application in Crop Improvement: Productions of homozygous pure lines are the major goal in breeding strategy. These are obtained by back crossing and inbreeding. These processes are however, are time consuming. Once established, homozygous lines have potential for plant improvement in several ways. With the advent of anther culture, [...]
