  • Food And Agriculture Biotechnology, Its Ethical Concerns

    Introduction First product of biotechnology is cheese because chymosin was added to bitter milk exposed only by exposing milk to microbes. Yeast is another microbe which use manufacture fluently observing in production of bread, vinger, fermentation product. Firstly in 1946 researcher become aware of that DNA can move across individuals. It is clear that there…

  • Concept of Biotechnology in Divergent and Oryx and Crake

    Contrary to Jeanine, Crake wants to liberate humanity as a whole via his biotechnological inventions. Being frustrated with the entire humanity and its unwillingness to think and act responsibly in using the resources, Crake thinks of the new and improved human race. In order to pause the horrible end of the pillaged and polluted world,…

  • Plant Molecular Biology And Genomics

    Virus-induced-gene-silencing is an approach of reverse genetics that has been successfully used for to study gene fucntion. It is employed at postranscriptional level by taking advantage of plant defence mechanism against parasite infection. Usually, after viral infection, plants produce double stranded RNA (dsRNA) to degrade RNA viruses. By simulating this approach, in VIGS , genes…

  • Plant Biotechnology In Agriculture

    Introduction Bio-technology refers to the area of study in which the living organisms are used to produce the useful products through the manipulation of genes. ‘Genetic engineering refers to the process that alters the genetic structure of an organism by removing or introducing DNA. Rice genome has provided the foundation to improve the cereals. In…

  • Climate Change, Sahel Savanna, Gum Arabic And Biotechnology

    Climate change has assumed global concern such that several aspects of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations are relevant to climate change. Some of the climate change related aspects of the SDGs are SDG 7 (Affordable and clean energy), SDG 13 (Climate action), SDG 14 (Life below water) and SDG 15 (Life…

  • Applications Of Animal And Plant Biotechnology In Food Industry

    Food science is defined as the study of the physical, biological and chemical of food, which most of the studies related to food processing and food deterioration while food technology is the application of it involved in packaging, preservation and food safety (Institute of Fodd Technologies, 2019). The fields that closely related to the food…

  • Plant Biotechnology: Selection And Regeneration Of Transformed Plants

    After bombardment, the somatic embryos of the papaya (Carica papaya) will be selected on medium containing 150 g mL1 kanamycin monosulfate for 3 months. According to Drew and Smith(1986), germination of the papaya then will be induced on a modified de Fossard medium (de Fossard et al., 1974) and will be supplemented with 25 g…
