In this article we will discuss about the significance of protoplast culture. Cell Modification by DNA Uptake: The isolated plant protoplasts are best suited for the introduction of foreign genetic material. Protoplast acts as an efficient receptor for the uptake of foreign DNA. Protoplast can be regenerated into the whole plant and this is indispensable for genetic manipulation. The ratio [...]
In this article we will discus about the organization of plant mitochondrial DNA. The mitochondrial genome of higher plants is the largest and complex among the eukaryotes. However, the plant mitochondrial genome does not contain many genes. The complex nature of plant mitochondrial genome might be due to the presence of many chloroplast sequences in the mtDNA of higher plants. [...]
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 [...]
