In this article we will discuss about the examples of transgenic plants for phytoremediation. 1. Phytoremediation of Mercury: There have been reports on the ability of certain plant species which have ability to accumulate mercury both from atmospheric and soil sources. However, plant species never ventured hyper accumulation of mercury, researcher use engineered plants by introducing bacterial specific genes for [...]
In this article we will discuss about the applications of AFLP markers in plants. Also learn about its demerits. AFLP is primarily used in genetic mapping. Several economically important cereal crops such as rice, barley and wheat have been mapped by AFLP. The AFLP markers, which are produced by different combinations of restriction enzymes, are distributed throughout the genome. Evidence [...]
In this article we will discuss about the applications of RAPD marker in plants. Also learn about its demerits. 1. RAPD is used to distinguish between variety is based on difference in DNA sequence. RAPD have been used to identify nearly 15 commercial sunflower varieties. The new bean varieties (Phaseolus vulgaris) which are difficult to distinguish based on morÂphological trait [...]
