Examples of Molecular Markers | Plant Genetics

Molecular markers are DNA sequences, whose inheritance pattern can be established. Classic examples of molecular markers are: 1. Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (RFLP) 2. Randomly Amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD) 3. Amplified Fragments Length Polymorphism (AFLP) 4. Sequence Characterized Amplified Region (SCAR). Example # 1. Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (RFLP): This novel non-PCR based approach is based on hybridization of probe [...]

Manipulation of Fruit Softening | Genetics

In this article we will discuss about the manipulation of fruit softening by antisense RNA. Plant cell wall is responsible for providing mechanical strength to plant organs. Tissue and cells due to their complex structure and biomolecules are involved. During fruit ripening several hydrolytic enzymes such as PG, PME and cellulase cleaves various polymers that con­stitute cell wall and consequently [...]

Bioinformatics: Concept and Development | Genetics

In this article we will discuss about the concept and development of bioinformatics. Concept of Bioinformatics: Bioinformatics or life science informatics has emerged as a new branch of biotechnology, offering a fundamental tool to the biologist to accelerate commercialization of biotechnology. Bioinformatics is the classic example of convergence of biotechnology and information technol­ogy. Bioinformatics has been the most powerful tools [...]
