Sexual and Asexual Plant Propagation Sexual and Asexual Plant Propagation: Unlike agronomic plants, many horticultural plants are troublesome for seed propagation methods. Horticultural plants have annual to perennial life cycle and seed propagation is not economical. In such cases vegetative propagation is more effective. It is done by using various plant parts for …

Nucleic acid hybridization is a basic technique in molecular biology which takes advantage of the ability of individual single-stranded nucleic acid molecules to form double-stranded molecules. According to Watson-Crick base pairing, adenine binds with thymine and guanine binds with cytosine by hydrogen bonding. Southern hybridization: The basic principle behind the …

A genomic library contains all the sequences present in the genome of an organism (apart from any sequences, such as telomeres that cannot be readily cloned). It is a collection of cloned, restriction-enzyme-digested DNA fragments containing at least one copy of every DNA sequence in a genome. The entire genome …

Recombinant DNA technology, joining together of DNA molecules from two different species that are inserted into a host organism to produce new genetic combinations that are of value to science, medicine, agriculture, and industry. Since the focus of all genetics is the gene, the fundamental goal of laboratory geneticists is …
