Chemically Inducible Promoters and its Types | Genetics

Developments of promoters that are activated in response to a specific chemical are particularly desirable in plant transformation. Utility of chemically inducible promoters are increasingly relevant to the improvement of crops by genetic engineering. Besides, several biotechnological applications of chemically inducible promoters have been witnessed recently such as construction of a male sterile system, expression of transgene that interfere with [...]

Construction of Genomic Library | Genetics

A genomic library contains all the sequences present in the genome of an organism. In the construction of genomic libraries it is feasible to use vectors that could accommodate large size of inserts. The first step in the construction of genomic library is the isolation of genomic DNA, and entire DNA is subjected to restriction digestion. The fragmented DNA of [...]

Gene Transfer in Cereals | Genetics

Gene transfer in cereals is becoming established at the backdrop of recombinant DNA technology. Until recently, gene transfer in plants was accomplished only through certain conventional methods like sexual hybridization. The entire scenario of transformation was changed after the advancement of genetic engineering. Utility of Agrobacterium tumeifaciens as biological vector was found to be successful among dicots. However, its potential [...]
