In this article we will discuss about the significance of haploids. Application in Crop Improvement: Productions of homozygous pure lines are the major goal in breeding strategy. These are obtained by back crossing and inbreeding. These processes are however, are time consuming. Once established, homozygous lines have potential for plant improvement in several ways. With the advent of anther culture, [...]
The following points highlight the six main screening strategies that are to be enforced for the selection of ideal somatic hybrids. The strategies are: 1. Microscopic Visual Selection 2. Auxin Autonomy 3. Chlorophyll Complementation 4. Biochemical Selection 5. Verification by Molecular Screening 6. Chromosomal Analysis. Strategy # 1. Microscopic Visual Selection: It is based on the fusion between coloured and [...]
In this article we will discuss about:- 1. Single Transduction Pathways in Plants 2. Mechanism of Signal Transduction 3. Calcium Signalling in Plants 4.Other Plant Signalling Molecules Single Transduction Pathways in Plants: Plant cells, due to their sessile nature, are able to interact with its surrounding environment. Plants use various environmental signals to alter their mode of developmental morphology. Throughout [...]
