Depending on the nature of selection, marker genes are divided into two types: 1. Selectable Marker Genes 2. Reporter Genes. Type # 1. Selectable Marker Genes: One of the constraints in plant transformation technique is the obtaining of transformed plants with less frequency. Thus, it is indispensable to select transformed cells under cultural conditions itself. Selection is based on the [...]
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 [...]
In this article we will discuss about:- 1. Basic Strategies for Secondary Metabolite Production 2. Factors Affecting the Production of Secondary Metabolite Production 3. Specialized Strategies 4. Regulation. In the beginning of the plant tissue culture, studies were heavily focused on the fundamental assessment of nutrition, growth and differentiation. Several advancements in cell and tissue culture techniques have taken place [...]
