In this article we will discuss about the Mendel's experiment with garden pea plant. In 1856 Mendel began his experiments on plant hybridisation with garden peas in the monastery garden. Although similar work had already been done by contemporary botanists, the significant features of all these experiments had been overlooked because the investigators made overall observations of all inherited characters [...]
The failure of pollen formation results in male sterile plants. In some crop plants male sterile mutants occur in which inheritance of male sterility follows one of the following two patterns: those in which the trait is inherited through a single recessive chromosomal gene segregating in Mendelian ratios; secondly, those that show maternal transmission. Rhoades in 1933 described maternal inheritance [...]
In this article we will discuss about the exchange procedures of transgenic plants in India. Any transgenic material to be imported requires a permission which could be issued by the government after screening by the Review Committee on Genetic Manipulation (RCGM). RCGM examines the desirability of import of transgenic line, from the biosafety point of view under the Environment (Protection) [...]
