Rapid Gene Regulation by Auxin | Biotechnology

In this article we will discuss about the rapid gene regulation by auxin. Naturally occurring hormone indole acetic acid (IAA) is the fastest known hormonal action among plant in terms of rapid cell elongation within a short span of 10-20 minutes. Auxin exhibits two types of response. One is short-term effect with 20 min leads to cell elonga­tion. Second is [...]

Process of Cybrids Production | Biotechnology

In this article we will discuss about the process of cybrids production. These are cytoplasmic hybrids. In cybrids, nucleus of one parent and cytoplasm of both the parents constitute cytoplasmic hybrids. More precisely, cybrids can be accomplished by fusing protoplast derived from one of the parent plants with enucleated protoplast of other. Cybrids can also be obtained through various other [...]

Anther Culture for Haploid Production | Genetics

In this article we will discuss about:- 1. Anther Culture Technique 2. Microspore Culture 3. Diploitization 4. Anther Vs. Pollen Culture 5. Plant Regeneration 6. Characteristics of Microspore Derived Plants 7. Ontogeny of Androgenesis. The term haploid refers to those plants which contains gametophytic number of chromo­somes. Anther/pollen culture mediated production of haploid plants approves the concept of totipotency. Guha [...]
