Plant Signal Transduction | Biotechnology

In this article we will discuss about:- 1. Single Transduction Pathways in Plants 2. Mechanism of Signal Transduction 3. Calcium Signalling in Plants 4.Other Plant Signalling Molecules Single Transduction Pathways in Plants: Plant cells, due to their sessile nature, are able to interact with its surrounding environ­ment. Plants use various environmental signals to alter their mode of developmental morphol­ogy. Throughout [...]

Blotting Techniques Used for Gene Expression | Genetics

Blotting technique is an extremely powerful tool for analyzing gene structure and used to study gene expression, once cloned cDNA is isolated. There are three important types of blotting techniques are: 1. Southern Blotting 2. Northern Blotting 3. Western Blotting. Technique # 1. Southern Blotting: Developed by E.M. Southern, the technique of Southern blotting is one of the most im­portant [...]

Agrobacterium as Gene Transformation Vector | Genetics

One of the significant developments in agriculture biotechnology is the successful transformation of plants by Agrobacterium as a vector. This has formed a basis for the better performance of plants. Existence of close proximity between plant and Agrobacterium leads to the exploitation of these bacteria for the production of transgenic plants. In addition, accumulation of substantial amount of information regarding [...]
