چکیده

Nucleotide sequencing of the Arabidopsis genome is nearing completion, sequencing of the rice genome has begun, and large amounts of expressed sequence tag information are being obtained for many other plants. There are many opportunities to use this wealth of sequence information to accelerate progress toward a comprehensive understanding of the genetic mechanisms that control plant growth and development and responses to the environment.

Bioinformatics Study and Investigation of the Expression Pattern of Several Important Genes Involved in Glycyrrhizin Synthesis of Glycyrrhiza glabra L. in Autumn and Spring Seasons

Glycyrrhiza is one of the important medicinal plants that is in danger of extinction. Search for finding accessions that have a higher glycyrrhizic acid is very important in breeding programs. Functional genomics methods such as EST sequencing prepare the ability to identify consensus gene families among studied species and interpretation of the genome. In this research, 55960 EST sequences of ...

RNAi for Plant Functional Genomics

A major challenge in the post-genome era of plant biology is to determine the functions of all the genes in the plant genome. A straightforward approach to this problem is to reduce or knock out expression of a gene with the hope of seeing a phenotype that is suggestive of its function. Insertional mutagenesis is a useful tool for this type of study, but it is limited by gene redundancy, lethal...
