Precision of Transgene Integration | Genetics

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 [...]

Effect of Heat Stress on Plants | Genetics

In this article we will discuss about the effect of heat stress on plants. Elevation in the temperature of surrounding environment imposes heat stress on wide range of organisms. Heat stress is responsible for the induction of several heat inducible genes, commonly referred as heat shock genes, which encodes heat shock proteins. Expressions of heat shock genes are prevalent in [...]

Effect of Salt Stress on Plants | Genetics

In this article we will discuss about the effect of salt stress on plants. Agricultural productivity is severely affected by high soil salinity and is responsible for decline in soil fertility throughout the world. It is estimated that more than 30 percent of irrigated soil in India has been affected by high soil salinity. Nearly 20 million hectares are being [...]
