Plant Hormone Signalling | Biotechnology

In this article we will discuss about the three main plant hormone signalling involved in differential development and other physiological process in plants:- 1. Cytokinin Signalling 2. Auxin Signalling 3. Gibberellin Signalling. 1. Cytokinin Signalling: Cytokininis have been registered as one of the key plant hormones involved in differential development and other physiological process in plants, such as cell division, [...]

Gene Transfer in Cereals | Genetics

Gene transfer in cereals is becoming established at the backdrop of recombinant DNA technology. Until recently, gene transfer in plants was accomplished only through certain conventional methods like sexual hybridization. The entire scenario of transformation was changed after the advancement of genetic engineering. Utility of Agrobacterium tumeifaciens as biological vector was found to be successful among dicots. However, its potential [...]

Types of Gel Electrophoresis | Nucleic Acids

The following points highlight the two types of gel electrophoresis. The types are: 1. Polyacrylamide Gel Electrophoresis 2. Agarose Gel Electrophoresis Gel electrophoresis is the novel technique in which nucleic acid (even pro­teins) molecules are separated based on the size differences when subjected to electric field. In electrophoresis, the rate of migration in electric field depends on the field, net [...]
