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 [...]
The following points highlight the three main omic technologies in plant biotechnology. The technologies are: 1. Transcriptomics 2. Metabolomics 3. Phenomics. Technology # 1. Transcriptomics: Utility of microarray and sequence-based process to expression profiling fueled additional approach to current genomic data within bioinformatics. Microarray technology helps in gene expression analysis in many plant species. Sequence based methods have real potential [...]
In this article we will discuss about the classification of genomics. Genomics is any attempt to analyse or compare the entire genetic complement of a species. Several classifications of genomes have been proposed. Structural genomics predicts the structure of all proteins. The wide efforts to determine 3-D proteins structure are still in their infancy. The relationship between sequence structure and [...]
