In this article we will discuss about the use of antibiotic resistance markers in crops. Antibiotic resistance genes have the ability to selectively inactivate certain antibiotics and consequently protect cells against these antibiotics. An antibiotic resistance gene can thus be used to “tag” a gene carrying a trait or characteristic of interest. In practice the […]

Use of Biotechnology in Agriculture and Food Production
Article shared by :
In this article we will discuss about the use of biotechnology in agriculture and food production. The use of biotechnology in agriculture and food production could elicit concerns similar to those expressed about agricultural chemicals. In addition, other dimensions of biotechnology are also starting to draw public attention. Researchers at North Carolina State University conducted […]
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 […]
