The following points highlight the four main applications of RFLP marker in plants. The applications are: 1. Linkage Construction 2. Disease Management 3. Analysis of Somaclonal Variation 4. Prediction of Genetic Distance. Application # 1. Linkage Construction: Restriction fragment length polymorphism facilitated in the construction of linkage maps of any genotypes and genes linked to certain specific agronom characters have [...]
In this article we will discuss about:- 1. Meaning of Proteomics 2. Types of Proteomics 3. Significance. Meaning of Proteomics: The term proteomics was coined in mid 1990s at the back drop of successful genomics. In bioinformatics point of view proteomics is the databases of protein sequence, databases of predicted protein structures and more recently, databases of protein expression analysis. [...]
In this article we will discuss about the antisense RNA in post harvesting improvement of plants. Engineering of Fruit Ripening Process: Efficacy of antisense RNA technology in post harvesting has been implicated well in extending shelf life of fruits, vegetables and vase life of flowers. Infact the first genetically modified products commercialized in markets were calgenes flavr savr tomatoes. Antisense [...]
