Upload NowThe below mentioned article provides notes on genetic engineering of crops. Genetic engineering of crops became available in the early 1980’s as genetic engineering techniques were being perfected. The advantage of genetic engineering is that it allows the transfer of a single gene, or a couple of genes, in a much more precise, controllable and […]

Notes on Application of Molecular Markers | Biotechnology
Article shared by :
The below mentioned article provides notes on application of molecular markers. The development of molecular markers is a rapidly expanding field. To date a major effort has been applied to model species such as Arabidopsis, and to major crops such as tomato, rice and maize. There has been some application of isozyme markers to tropical […]
Notes on Traditional Plant Breeding | Biotechnology
Article shared by :
The below mentioned article provides notes on traditional plant breeding. When crossing two plants using traditional breeding techniques, breeders mix thousands of genes in order to transfer the protein products to enhance one or a few genetic traits. Therefore, the odds of something —such as a naturally occurring toxin —being transferred unintentionally are far greater […]
