The following points highlight the three important characteristics of genetically modified crops (GMC). The characteristics are: 1. Increased Nutrition 2. Allergens Modification 3. Improved Functional Properties. Characteristic # 1. Increased Nutrition: Using bioengineering, scientists have added or modified nutrients in various crops, and created several nutritionally enhanced products. Although few have reached commercialization, examples include […]

Genetic Resources in Crop Production | Biotechnology
Article shared by : 
In this article we will discuss about the genetic resources in crop production. Genetic resources are the raw materials which scientists use to alter plant performance, and with which they hope to achieve the dramatic increase in crop production that will be required in the decades ahead. Another factor of concern when considering biodiversity has […]
In Vitro Regeneration of Plants: 4 Techniques | Biotechnology
Article shared by : 
The following points highlight the four main techniques adopted for in vitro regeneration of plants. The techniques are: 1. Micro-Propagation Technique 2. Embryo Culture Technique 3. Gene Transfer Techniques 4. In vitro Techniques. 1. Micro-Propagation Technique: Micro propagation has been defined as ‘in vitro regeneration of plants from organs, tissues, cells or protoplasts’ and ‘the […]
