A general account of Quantitative (Multiple factor or Polygenic) Inheritance; Examples : Kernel colour in Wheat, Ear size (Cob length ) in Maize(Zea mays) ; Differences between Qualitative and Quantitative Inheritance
Introduction :
Mendel and subsequent workers assumed that a character was governed by a single gene.
But it was later discovered that many characters in almost all the organisms are governed by two or more genes. Such gene affect the development of concerned characters in various ways.
The phenomenon of two or more gene affecting the expression of each other in various ways in the development of a single character of on organism is known as gene interaction.
Maternal effects are the influences of a mothers genotype on the phenotype of her offspring. It results from the asymmetric contribution of the female parent to the development of zygotes.
In terms of chromosomal genes, both male and female parents contribute equally to the zygote. The female parent contributes to the zygotes initial cytoplasm and organelles. Sperm rarely contribute anything other than chromosomes. Therefore zygotic development begins within a maternal medium and hence the maternal cytoplasm directly affects zygotic development.
It is the fundamental law of population genetics and provides the basis for studying Mendelian populations ( Mendelian population: A group of sexually inbreeding organisms living within a circumscribed area). It describes populations that are not evolving.

A process where an embryo is derived from a single somatic cell or group of somatic cells. Somatic embryos (SEs) are formed from plant cells that are not normally involved in embryo formation.
Embryos formed by somatic embryogenesis are called Embryoids.
The process was discovered for the first time in Daucas carota L. (carrot) by Steward (1958), Reinert (1959).
A genetic disorder is a genetic problem caused by one or more abnormalities formed in the genome. Most genetic disorders are quite rare and affect one person in every several thousands or millions.
The process of production of RNA copy(exspecially mRNA) of a DNA sequence is called transcription.This reaction is catalysed by DNA-directed RNA polymerase enzyme or RNA polymerase .
RNA Polymerase enzyme plays a major role in synthesis of RNA from DNA.
In Prokaryote-ONLY ONE TYPE
This theory was proposed by a Drosophilist Calvin Blackman Bridges in 1921.
This theory fully explains
the sex determination in
Drosophila.
This theory shows that the
Maleness - Autosomes
Femaleness -X chromosomes.
Gene mapping means the mapping of genes to specific locations on chromosomes.
Such maps indicates the positions of genes in the genome and also distance between them.
Mendal (1866) proposed that inheritance is controlled by paired germinal units or factors , now called genes. Genes are present in all cells of the body and are transferred to the next generation through gametes .Factors or genes are thus physical basis of Heredity.

(May 29th, 2024) Advancements in Intravital Microscopy- Insights for Preclini...Scintica Instrumentation
Intravital microscopy (IVM) is a powerful tool utilized to study cellular behavior over time and space in vivo. Much of our understanding of cell biology has been accomplished using various in vitro and ex vivo methods; however, these studies do not necessarily reflect the natural dynamics of biological processes. Unlike traditional cell culture or fixed tissue imaging, IVM allows for the ultra-fast high-resolution imaging of cellular processes over time and space and were studied in its natural environment. Real-time visualization of biological processes in the context of an intact organism helps maintain physiological relevance and provide insights into the progression of disease, response to treatments or developmental processes.
In this webinar we give an overview of advanced applications of the IVM system in preclinical research. IVIM technology is a provider of all-in-one intravital microscopy systems and solutions optimized for in vivo imaging of live animal models at sub-micron resolution. The system’s unique features and user-friendly software enables researchers to probe fast dynamic biological processes such as immune cell tracking, cell-cell interaction as well as vascularization and tumor metastasis with exceptional detail. This webinar will also give an overview of IVM being utilized in drug development, offering a view into the intricate interaction between drugs/nanoparticles and tissues in vivo and allows for the evaluation of therapeutic intervention in a variety of tissues and organs. This interdisciplinary collaboration continues to drive the advancements of novel therapeutic strategies.
A brief information about the SCOP protein database used in bioinformatics.
The Structural Classification of Proteins (SCOP) database is a comprehensive and authoritative resource for the structural and evolutionary relationships of proteins. It provides a detailed and curated classification of protein structures, grouping them into families, superfamilies, and folds based on their structural and sequence similarities.
Cancer cell metabolism: special Reference to Lactate PathwayAADYARAJPANDEY1
Normal Cell Metabolism:
Cellular respiration describes the series of steps that cells use to break down sugar and other chemicals to get the energy we need to function.
Energy is stored in the bonds of glucose and when glucose is broken down, much of that energy is released.
Cell utilize energy in the form of ATP.
The first step of respiration is called glycolysis. In a series of steps, glycolysis breaks glucose into two smaller molecules - a chemical called pyruvate. A small amount of ATP is formed during this process.
Most healthy cells continue the breakdown in a second process, called the Kreb's cycle. The Kreb's cycle allows cells to “burn” the pyruvates made in glycolysis to get more ATP.
The last step in the breakdown of glucose is called oxidative phosphorylation (Ox-Phos).
It takes place in specialized cell structures called mitochondria. This process produces a large amount of ATP. Importantly, cells need oxygen to complete oxidative phosphorylation.
If a cell completes only glycolysis, only 2 molecules of ATP are made per glucose. However, if the cell completes the entire respiration process (glycolysis - Kreb's - oxidative phosphorylation), about 36 molecules of ATP are created, giving it much more energy to use.
IN CANCER CELL:
Unlike healthy cells that "burn" the entire molecule of sugar to capture a large amount of energy as ATP, cancer cells are wasteful.
Cancer cells only partially break down sugar molecules. They overuse the first step of respiration, glycolysis. They frequently do not complete the second step, oxidative phosphorylation.
This results in only 2 molecules of ATP per each glucose molecule instead of the 36 or so ATPs healthy cells gain. As a result, cancer cells need to use a lot more sugar molecules to get enough energy to survive.

introduction to WARBERG PHENOMENA:
WARBURG EFFECT Usually, cancer cells are highly glycolytic (glucose addiction) and take up more glucose than do normal cells from outside.
Otto Heinrich Warburg (; 8 October 1883 – 1 August 1970) In 1931 was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology for his "discovery of the nature and mode of action of the respiratory enzyme.
WARNBURG EFFECT : cancer cells under aerobic (well-oxygenated) conditions to metabolize glucose to lactate (aerobic glycolysis) is known as the Warburg effect. Warburg made the observation that tumor slices consume glucose and secrete lactate at a higher rate than normal tissues.

2. What is Self-incompatibility?
Inability of a plant with
functional pollen to set
seed when self-pollinated.
Hindrance to self-
fertilization.
Prevents inbreeding and
promotes outcrossing.
Reported in about 70
families of angiosperms
including crop species.
3. HISTORY OF S.I
First discussion on SI by
Darwin (1877).
SI was coined by Stout
(1917).
First reported SI by
Kolreuter in the middle of
18th century in Verbascum
phoenicieum plants.
Reported SI in flowering
plants by East (1940).
Kolreuter
4. General features of S.I
Prevents selfing and promotes out-crossing.
Increases heterozygosity and reduces homozygosity.
Causes may be morphological, physiological, genetical
or biochemical.
SI can operate at any stage between pollination and
fertilization.
Normal seed set on cross pollination.
In plants, SI is governed is often inherited by a single
gene (S) with multiple alleles (S1,S2,S3 etc,) in the
species pollination.
7. Heteromorphic system
Distyly:
Two types of styles (long
and short) and stamens
(low and high).
Seen in Primulaceae
family.
In Primula, there are 2
types of flowers:
Thrum type- Has short
style and high anthers.
Pin type- Has long style
and low anthers.
12. Tristyly:
Style and anther have 3
positions, viz. short,
medium and long.
Common in the family
Lythraceae (Lythrum
salicaria).
Controlled by two
genes(Ss and Mm).
S – short style,
s and M – medium style,
S and m – long style.
15. HOMOMORPHIC SYSTEM
Self-fertilization inhibition depends on genetic or
biochemical or physiological mechanisms.
Mostly seen in crop plants.
It occurs in various ways,
• Pollen grains do not germinate on the stigma of same
flower.
• Even if they germinate, the pollen tube fails to
penetrate the stigma. Eg:Rye,Cabbage,Radish.
• If penetrates, pollen tube growth retards or very slow
rate of pollen tube growth occurs.
• No release of male gametes from the pollen tube
having normal growth.
18. Gametophytic S.I
• Governed by genotype of pollen.
• Stima is smooth and wet.
• Pollen tube inhibition in style.
• Pollen-Pistil interaction is governed by
haploid genome of each male gametes
and diploid genome of pistil tissue
(Haplo-Diplo).
• 1st discovered by East and Mangelsdorf in
Nicotiana sanderae .
• Reported in rye, red clover, white clover,
potato, tomato etc,.
19. Sporophytic S.I
Governed by genotype of pollen
producing plant.
Stigma is papilate and dry.
Pollen germination, tube entry inhibited
on the stigmatic surface.
Pollen-Pistil interaction govern by genome
of the plant on which the male and female
gamete produced (Diplo-Diplo).
1st discovered by Hughes and Babcock
(1950) in Crepis foetida and Gerstel
(1950) in Parthenium argentatum.
Reported in radish, cabbage, cauliflower,
sunflower, cosmos etc,.
20. Mechanism of S.I
Complementary hypothesis:
Proposed by Bateman in
1952.
S.I is due to absence of
stimulation by the pistil or
pollen in the like
genotypes(S1S2xS1S2)
which are essential for
pollen tube penetration.
Oppositional hypothesis:
Interaction between like
alleles,(S1S2xS1S2) leads
to production of inhibitor
in pollen and pistil which
inhibits enzyme or auxin,
block pollen tube
membrane, inhibit enzyme
necessary for pollen tube
penetration.
21. Site of Gene Expression
• S.I may express only at three different locations in the
flower;
Stigmatic inhibition:
Inhibition of pollen germination or pollen tube growth
in the stigmatic surface in S.I plant species with
trinucleate pollen (except Oenothera sp.)
Stylar inhibition:
Inhibition of pollen tube growth in the stylar region
in S.I plant species with binucleate pollen.
Ovarian inhibition: In some species, S.I reaction
occurs only when the pollen tube reaches the ovary.
Reported in Theobroma cacao.
22. How to overcome S.I?
Bud pollination
Delayed pollination
Late season pollination
Irradiation
High temperature
Mutilation of style
In vitro fertilization.
23. Utilization in Plant Breeding
1. Production of Hybrids: S.I helps in hybrid seed
production without emasculation and without resorting to
genetic or CMS. Eg: Commercial hybrids in Brassica
(cabbage and Brussels sprouts) and Sunflower.
2. Combining Desirable Genes: S.I permits combining
desirable genes in a single genotype from two different
sources through natural cross pollination. It helps fruit
growers to increase yield by providing suitable pollinators.
24.
25. LIMITATIONS IN S.I
• Very difficult to produce homozygous inbred
lines in a S.I species.
• Affected by environmental factors such as
temperature and humidity.
• Sometimes, bees visit only one parental line
in the seed production plot resulting in sib-
mating. Eg: Brussels sprouts.
26. Pseudoalleles
Two genes with similar
functions located so close
to one another on a
chromosome that they are
genetically linked.
Affect the same
character.
Given by Morgan(1928)
and Lewis(1948).
Pseudoallelic series or
complex series.
Eg: Affect pigmentation in
Drosophila.
Drosophila melanogaster
27. Isoalleles
An allele considered as a normal but can be
distinguished from another allele by its differing
phenotypic expression when in combination with
dominant gene.
2 types:
If the phenotype is wild, these are normal or wild
alleles.
If the phenotype is mutant, these are called mutant
alleles.
