Early Experiments by Antisense RNA | Plants

In this article we will demonstrate the expression vector that make antisense gene RNA in laboratory. Inhibition of gene expression in natural system by antisense RNA led to the development of strategies to artificially regulate genes using antisense RNA. In a single manipulation, antisense RNA complementary to target mRNA can be synthesized in laboratory and may be used to down [...]

Control of Fruit Ripening | Plants

In this article we will discuss about the controlling of fruit ripening in banana, water melon and apple. Extended Longevity of Banana Fruit: Banana is a staple food for nearly more than 450 million people particularly from devel­oping world. They are ranked second in the world next to grapes. Banana is a climacteric fruit as tomatoes. Therefore, it is possible [...]

Genetic Engineering of Flower Colour (With Diagram)

In this article we will discuss about the genetic engineering of flower colour. Ornamental plants having aesthetic value of flower colour is significant from the consumer’s point of view. Certain ornamental plants like roses, tulips, carnations and chrysanthe­mum occupy more than 60% of the cut flower industry. Flower colour has been understood biochemically and genetically. Synthesis of colour pigments is [...]
