In this article we will discuss about the significance of genomics in agriculture. The main goal of agriculture research is to improve of economically important crops like rice, wheat, corn, oilseeds and vegetables etc. For the production of high quality food in substantial quantity, the above goal can be accomplished by optimising plant growth overcoming abiotic and biotic stress. Therefore, [...]
In this article we will discuss about the meaning of DNA microarray. DNA microarray is a new technology to monitor the whole genome on a single chip so that researchers can have a better image of the interactions among thousands of genes simultaneously. The new genome chip is preferred to monitor the whole genome on a single chip. DNA Microarray [...]
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 [...]
