Plant Signal Transduction | Biotechnology

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 [...]

Types of Marker Genes | Genetics

Depending on the nature of selection, marker genes are divided into two types: 1. Selectable Marker Genes 2. Reporter Genes. Type # 1. Selectable Marker Genes: One of the constraints in plant transformation technique is the obtaining of transformed plants with less frequency. Thus, it is indispensable to select transformed cells under cultural conditions itself. Selection is based on the [...]

Agrobacterium as Gene Transformation Vector | Genetics

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 [...]
