what's problem we can expect if we construct transplastomic plant where is one part of trans-gene located in nucleous and other in chloroplast?

Expert Solution

We can tackle the problems when one trans-gene is inserted into the nucleolus instead of the chloroplast wile creating transplastomic plants.There are distinct advantages of creating the transplastomic plants by introducing the trans-gene into the chloroplast in contrary to the nucleolus. They can be listed as follows:

1)Since the nucleolus is responsible for the proteins and the RNA, it is highly likely that when the trans-gene is inserted into the nucleolus, it will result in the foreign protein being produced because of the heightened expression levels of the trans-gene.

2)The chloroplast can be instantly injected with the trans-gene with no position barriers coming up especially as in the case of the nuclear genome, it becomes tedious to decide the actual position where the trans-gene will be injected.

3)The risk of epigenetic implications is eliminated due to the use of chloroplasts. Hence, the trans-gene will be automatically inherited.

4)The expression levels of the transgenes are not curbed in the chloroplast genome and the operons function actively in their genetic expression.

We performed a final experiment where we determined the tightness of DNA packaging for this gene in wild-type toe cells, and in toe cells in which the Talon enhancer had been mutated as described for constructs g-k. In this experiment we isolated chromatin and determined if an enzyme cuts in the gene very well or very poorly, depending on how tightly packed the DNA is at the site of cutting. c. Suggest why the ability of an enzyme to cut...

Gene duplication, as part of plant nuclear genome evolution, is considered an important contributor to total gene number and to overall genome size. In recent plant nuclear genome evolution, and post gene duplication, is sub-functionalisation or specialisation believed to be the mostly likely contributor to increased gene number in plant species with larger sized genomes? Explain your answer.
