 Reverse Breeding

Reverse breeding is used to establish parental lines for desired hybrid lines (not genetically modified). Homozygous lines are produced from heterozygous plants to achieve this. This is accomplished by introducing a gene that prevents recombination during meiosis into the heterozygous line (the hybrid). As a result, the genetically engineered plant's haploid gametes have completely non-recombined chromosomes. After that, the gametes can be used to create plants. Only non-genetically modified plants are used, and those that have the transgenic DNA are removed. Genes that aid recombination in meiosis can be suppressed via RNAi. Meiotic recombination involves a number of genes. Biotechnology Training Program in Lucknow


Asy1 or sds, which ensure that homologous chromosomes pair in the first phase of meiosis, are genes that can be silenced. Furthermore, the spo11-1gene, which is responsible for the occurrence of double-strand breaks during recombination, can be turned off. Additionally, the dmc1 gene can be switched off, which aids in the exchange of chromosome segments during recombination.


One copy of the RNAi transgene is introduced into the plant to obtain the desired effect. Due to the fact that meiotic recombination is disabled, only half of the haploid gametes will contain the transgene during meiosis. The number of chromosomes in the microspores generated is then doubled. Plant microspores are unripe pollen grains that can become embryos in tissue cultures. Microspores are haploid; however, following chromosomal number doubling, completely disome, homozygous plants can be produced. The twofold haploid approach is another name for this method. Transgenic plants are then removed. Only plants without the RNAi construct are used in this method. Biotechnology Training and Research Lab in Lucknow


The original heterozygote genotype is reconstructed and seed produced using these diploid, homozygote plants as parents. The reverse breeding technique's end product is not transgenic since it lacks any foreign genetic material or mutations in the genome.

Ethics and Requirements of Plant Tissue Culture Laboratory | Experiome Inc

  Ethics and Requirements of Plant Tissue Culture Laboratory Plant tissue culture generally refers to   in vitro culture of all plant parts under sterile conditions. Basic facilities are must in the laboratory where tissue culture technology is to be performed. This includes general cleaning and media preparation, sterilization, storage, sterile transfer, observation / data acquisition, and environmentally controlled incubator or culture room areas. The most important work area is the Cultural Transfer Office, where   core activities take place. Plant tissue culture should be cultured for a specified period of time under well-controlled temperature, humidity, airflow, and light quality. Plant culture techniques require a variety of organic and inorganic chemicals to prepare the   culture medium. The growing room is an equally important area where plant cultures are maintained under controlled environmental conditions for optimal growth. After in vitro culture of plants they are transfe

Use of Genetically Engineered Cyanobacteria in Therapeutics Spirulina is a blue-green algae or cyanobacteria which is found in high-salt alkaline water, subtropical and tropical places such as America, Mexico, Asia, and Central Africa.   It’s asexual reproduction reduces the danger of gene escape into the food chain, as well as the accompanying food security and regulatory concerns. It contains a lot of macro and micronutrients, important amino acids, proteins, lipids, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. With these characteristics, photosynthetic cyanobacteria have been used in a variety of industries, including food, health, and pharmaceuticals. It is consumed mainly in central Africa and later NASA started using spirulina as a nutritional supplement for astronauts on space missions. It gained attention for therapeutic benefits like hypercholesterolemia, hyperglycerolemia, cardiovascular diseases, inflammatory diseases, allergies, cancer and viral infections.  Spirulina, as a plan

  Experiome | Summer Training in Biotechnology and Bioinformatics CRISPR-Casuse to meet the need of Vitamin A Nutrition is essential for healthy growth and development. Macronutrients or micronutrients are the two types of nutrients. Requirements of macronutrients including fats, proteins, and carbohydrates are relatively higher to that of micronutrients including several vitamins and minerals. In comparison, if the amount of micronutrients in the diet is low, it has an impact on the child's physical and mental development. Vitamin A is a lipid-soluble vitamin that is required for cell growth, metabolism, immunological function, eyesight, and reproduction. It is absorbed in the duodenum and stored in hepatic stellate cells, as well as in adipose tissue and the pancreas in small amounts. Vitamin A is found naturally in dark leafy greens, orange-colored vegetables, milk products, liver, and fish. Vitamin A intake should be around 200 micrograms per day for children aged 1 to5, 70
