Opportunities exist for increasing food production in a sustainable manner through the genetic improvement of field crops. One of the potential tools for improvement of the crop performance is the genetic alteration and selection.
Industrial microbiology or microbial biotechnology is the application of scientific and engineering principles to the processing of materials by microorganisms (such as bacteria, fungi, algae, protozoa and viruses) or plant and animal cells to create useful products or processes. The microorganisms utilized may be natural isolates, laboratory selected mutants or microbes that have been genetically engineered using recombinant
DNA methods. The terms ...
“Biotechnology is technology based on biology, agriculture, food science and medicine. Modern use of the term refers to genetic engineering as well as cell and tissues culture technologies. However, the concept encompasses a wider range and history of procedures for modifying living organisms according to human purposes, going back to domestication of animals, cultivation of plants and “improvements” to these through breeding programmes that ...
Opportunities exist for increasing food production in a sustainable manner through the genetic improvement of field crops. One of the potential tools for improvement of the crop performance is the genetic alteration and selection. The ability to modify plant characteristics or select plants with desirable attributes, or both, has enormous implication for the potential productivity of a crop, sustainability of the crop and the cropping system along with the ...
