How Terminator Gene Works ? | Genetics

Get the answer of: How terminator gene works ? The key to the efficacy of terminator technology is the ability to make abundant toxin confined to seeds and kill the embryo in last stages of development. To accomplish this, the strategy to select the promoter from gene normally activated late in seed development. This promoter is fused with coding sequence [...]

Gene Interaction in Resistance Development | Plants

In this article we will discuss about the representation of gene for gene interaction in resistance development. Plants, in nature, contain several resistance genes as a defensive role. Since the turn of this century plant breeders have used these disease resistance genes commonly known as 'R' genes to counter plant disease. Knowledge about genetic and biochemical basis of plant disease [...]

Restoration of Fertility in CMS Plants | Genetics

In this article we will discuss about the mechanism of restoration of fertility in CMS plants. Restoration of fertility in nature is of two types, one is sporophytic and other is gametophytic. The sporophytic restorer functions before meiosis whereas gametophytic restorer acts after meiosis in pollen grain. As a consequence, a diploid plant act after meiosis in pollen grain and [...]
