In this article we will discuss about:- 1. Subject Matter of CamV35S Promoter 2. Molecular Dissection of CamV35S Promoter 3. Functional Regions. Subject Matter of CamV35S Promoter: The 35S promoter is one of the major promoters of cauliflower mosaic virus (CamV). This virus infects crucifers and contains double-stranded genome as the genetic material. Based on the 8 kb genetic map, [...]
The following points highlight the ten main physical methods of gene transfer. The methods are: 1. Biolystic or Particle Bombardment 2. Electroporation 3. Microinjection 4. Pollen Transformation 5. Liposome Mediated Transfer 6. Microlaser 7. Macro-Injection 8. Silicon Carbide Fiber (SCF) Mediated Transfer 9. Poly Ethylene Glycol (PEG) Mediated Transformation 10. Ultrasound Mediated Transfer.

In this article we will discuss about the applications of plant transformation. Plant transformations/transgenics have immense utility in improving plant productivity and improving plant product quality. Transformations may be used to introduce new or novel genes into the existing cultivars to create altogether new market or to displace the old product. The improvements may relate to the improvement in nutritional [...]
