Realising the role of antisense RNA technology in the reduction of ethylene production, a cDNA (pTOM13) encoding ACC oxidase has been isolated from a tomato fruit ripening library. An antisense gene construct from the cDNA strongly inhibited expression of ACC oxidase activÂity in transgenic tomatoes. A chimaeric pTOM13 antisense gene, encodes ACC oxidase consistÂing of 1.3 kilobase (kb) fragment of [...]
In this article we will discuss about the current status and collaborative work on rice genomics. Rice (Oryza sativa) is a model species for monocotyledonous plants, particularly for members in the grass family. With the completion of the Arabidopsis genome, plant biologist will have greater opportunity to assess the entire gene sequence of a plant for the first time and [...]
In this article we will discuss about the classification of genomics. Genomics is any attempt to analyse or compare the entire genetic complement of a species. Several classifications of genomes have been proposed. Structural genomics predicts the structure of all proteins. The wide efforts to determine 3-D proteins structure are still in their infancy. The relationship between sequence structure and [...]
