Manipulation of Fruit Softening | Genetics

In this article we will discuss about the manipulation of fruit softening by antisense RNA. Plant cell wall is responsible for providing mechanical strength to plant organs. Tissue and cells due to their complex structure and biomolecules are involved. During fruit ripening several hydrolytic enzymes such as PG, PME and cellulase cleaves various polymers that conĀ­stitute cell wall and consequently [...]

Early Experiments by Antisense RNA | Plants

In this article we will demonstrate the expression vector that make antisense gene RNA in laboratory. Inhibition of gene expression in natural system by antisense RNA led to the development of strategies to artificially regulate genes using antisense RNA. In a single manipulation, antisense RNA complementary to target mRNA can be synthesized in laboratory and may be used to down [...]

Control of Fruit Ripening | Plants

In this article we will discuss about the controlling of fruit ripening in banana, water melon and apple. Extended Longevity of Banana Fruit: Banana is a staple food for nearly more than 450 million people particularly from develĀ­oping world. They are ranked second in the world next to grapes. Banana is a climacteric fruit as tomatoes. Therefore, it is possible [...]
