Gene Expression in Plants | Biotechnology

In this article we will discuss about:- 1. Gene Expression in Vegetative Organs 2. Gene Expression in Reproductive Organs 3. Gene Expression in Seeds 4. Gene Expression in Fruits. Successful studies on gene expression in plants are undoubtedly due to the contribution of early botanical monograph in which cytological structure and function of organs were de­fined. With the advent of [...]

Top 6 Plant Promoters for Genes | Biotechnology

The following points highlight the top six plant promoters for genes. The promoters are: 1. Core Promoter 2. Light Responsive Promoters 3. Stress Responsive Promoters 4. Plant Hormonal Responsive Promoters 5. Sucrose Responsive Promoters 6. Low-Oxygen Responsive Promoters. 1. Core Promoter: Core promoter elements are defined as minimal promoter that contain TATA box. These are indispensable for initiation of transcription [...]

Composition of Plant Culture Media | Biotechnology

Plant culture media contains: 1. Macronutrients 2. Micronutrients 3. Adjuvant 4. Carbon Source. 1. Macronutrients: Macronutrients or macroelements are basically inorganic salts. There are six major ele­ments indispensable for growth of plants—nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, magne­sium and sulphur. Carbon, hydrogen and oxygen are obtained from the environment. In culture media concentration of these elements are well balanced depending on the [...]
