Omic Technologies in Plant Biotechnology | Genetics

The following points highlight the three main omic technologies in plant biotechnology. The technologies are: 1. Transcriptomics 2. Metabolomics 3. Phenomics. Technology # 1. Transcriptomics: Utility of microarray and sequence-based process to expression profiling fueled additional approach to current genomic data within bioinformatics. Microarray technology helps in gene expression analysis in many plant species. Sequence based methods have real potential [...]

Applications of AFLP Marker | Genetics

In this article we will discuss about the applications of AFLP markers in plants. Also learn about its demerits. AFLP is primarily used in genetic mapping. Several economically important cereal crops such as rice, barley and wheat have been mapped by AFLP. The AFLP markers, which are produced by different combinations of restriction enzymes, are distributed throughout the genome. Evidence [...]

Applications of RAPD Marker in Plants | Genetics

In this article we will discuss about the applications of RAPD marker in plants. Also learn about its demerits. 1. RAPD is used to distinguish between variety is based on difference in DNA sequence. RAPD have been used to identify nearly 15 commercial sunflower varieties. The new bean varieties (Phaseolus vulgaris) which are difficult to distinguish based on mor­phological trait [...]
