The following points highlight the six main screening strategies that are to be enforced for the selection of ideal somatic hybrids. The strategies are: 1. Microscopic Visual Selection 2. Auxin Autonomy 3. Chlorophyll Complementation 4. Biochemical Selection 5. Verification by Molecular Screening 6. Chromosomal Analysis. Strategy # 1. Microscopic Visual Selection: It is based on the fusion between coloured and [...]
In this article we will discuss about:- 1. Single Transduction Pathways in Plants 2. Mechanism of Signal Transduction 3. Calcium Signalling in Plants 4.Other Plant Signalling Molecules Single Transduction Pathways in Plants: Plant cells, due to their sessile nature, are able to interact with its surrounding environment. Plants use various environmental signals to alter their mode of developmental morphology. Throughout [...]
One of the significant developments in agriculture biotechnology is the successful transformation of plants by Agrobacterium as a vector. This has formed a basis for the better performance of plants. Existence of close proximity between plant and Agrobacterium leads to the exploitation of these bacteria for the production of transgenic plants. In addition, accumulation of substantial amount of information regarding [...]
