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 [...]
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 [...]
