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 morÂphological trait [...]
The following points highlight the four main applications of RFLP marker in plants. The applications are: 1. Linkage Construction 2. Disease Management 3. Analysis of Somaclonal Variation 4. Prediction of Genetic Distance. Application # 1. Linkage Construction: Restriction fragment length polymorphism facilitated in the construction of linkage maps of any genotypes and genes linked to certain specific agronom characters have [...]
In this article we will discuss about the current status and collaborative work on rice genomics. Rice (Oryza sativa) is a model species for monocotyledonous plants, particularly for members in the grass family. With the completion of the Arabidopsis genome, plant biologist will have greater opportunity to assess the entire gene sequence of a plant for the first time and [...]
