in this article we will discuss about the production of medium and longer chain fatty acids. Productions of Medium Chain Fatty Acids: Several plant oil is made up of medium chain or short chain fatty acids. Major portion of the vegetable oil consist of fatty acids like stearic, palmetic, oleic, linoleic and linolenic acids. These are C16 and C18 in [...]
In this article we will discus about the models for post-transcriptional gene silencing (PTGS). Production of dsRNA from inverted transgene repeats and single copy transgene triggers PTGS. It was proposed that dsRNA would be act as template for an RNA-directed RNA polymerase. Atleast four models have been proposed to explain induction of PTGS. First model is known as threshold model [...]
In this article we will discuss about: 1. Methods of Cloning, 2. Cloning of a Specific Gene, 3. Cloning of a Specific Gene, 4. Expression of Cloned Genes, 5. Cloning of Genes in Eucaryotic Cells and 6. Precautions to be taken during Experiments of Genetic Recombination. Methods of Cloning: In the past few years, an increasing number of laboratories have [...]
