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 [...]
Transformation of plants can be successfully accomplished by employing two basic strategies. One is co-cultivation of protoplast with Agrobacterium and the leaf disc procedure. The first transgene was obtained by co-cultivation. Basic methodology involves Agrobacterium transformation of regenerating protoplast, plus screening and regeneration. Leaf-disc transformation is used extensively in most of the transformation work. Surface- sterilized leaf disc or pieces [...]
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, [...]
