Precision of Transgene Integration by Site-Specific Recombination ! Possibility of site-specific recombination and homologous recombination process has been exploited in recent days to potentially increase transgene integration. It has been developed into the genetic engineering tool for higher eukaryotes. Despite the efficiency of using Agrobacterium for transformation, integration is still random and has no control over the impact of genomic [...]
In this article we will discuss about the physiology of cold stress on plants. Plants produce number of proteins in response to cold and freezing temperature. More than 54 cold-inducible genes have been identified using cDNA microarray technology. In the process of various stress inducible gene expression, nearly 10% of the drought inducible genes are also induced by cold-stress indicating [...]
In this article we will discus about the strategies for stress-tolerant plant. Several microorganisms have been used as a model system to characterize stress inÂduced genes. It is because they are equipped with wide array of stress relieving genes. Recently, attention has been focused towards higher plants in search of stress tolerance genes and sucÂcessful attempt to introduce these genes [...]
