Pharming, also referred to as, genetic engineering and genetic transformation is a system of methods and technologies that make it possible to identify, isolate, clone and transport individual genes. Broadly, the processes come under the category of Biotechnology. In the broad sense, the term "biotechnology" refers to the use of living organisms for the production of various forms of energy as well as treating diseases. Nevertheless, for a long time, biotechnology was understood, above all, precisely
Plant breeding started with agriculture particularly the domestication of the agriculture plants, a practice which is estimated to date back 9,000 to 11,000 years. Initially, early human farmers selected food plants with particular desirable characteristics and used these as a seed source for subsequent generations, resulting in an accumulation of characteristics over time. Farmer crops are cultivated for grain, forage, fiber, oil and other products that have commercial importance. The yield and
are very diverse. Some are tiny, single-celled organisms with flagella. Others are large, multicellular organisms like seaweed. Like plants, algae have chloroplasts, which contain the photosynthetic pigment chlorophyll. Another group in this category is called the euglenoids. These single-celled protists have both plant-like and animal-like characteristics. Like plants, they contain chloroplasts and photosynthetic pigment. However, they do not have cell walls. Like some of the protozoa, euglenoids
2.1. Introduction: Biotechnology is a commercial technology which can be defined in several ways. The most relevant definition is the application of scientific and engineering principle to the processing of material by biological agents to provide goods and services useful to human and human welfare. It is defined as a science which involves cell biology, microbiology, molecular biology, biochemistry, Genetic Engineering, Tissue culture, Bioprocess, Bio-informatics, Nanotechnology etc. Any technique
are safe to eat. Introduction Attention Getter: Did you know that most of the food we consume on a daily basis is in some way genetically modified? Overview of Main Points: Today I am going to talk to you about genetically modified organisms for food, otherwise known as GMOs. I will go over what GMOs are, where they are found, and if they are safe to eat. (What is a GMO?) I. GMOs are plants created through gene splicing techniques of biotechnology. In other words, the plant DNA structure is
‘Nothing is all wrong, even a clock that has stopped running is correct twice a day'. This is the philosophy of my life. After rejecting medical admission test, I take admission test in various universities and finally I get admission in Food Engineering & Tea Technology department at Shahjalal University of Science & Technology. As my dream was to work in medical field, I always explored something that relates food, nutrients, and human health. Finally, I was pondering to read an article in 2010
bstract When new genetic information is incorporated into an organism genome, genetic transformation has taken place, bacterial transformation is a form of genetic transformation and also the easiest to create within a lab due to the single cell nature of the bacteria used. For this particular experiment pGLO plasmid will be incorporated into E. coli bacteria which will give it genes that code GFP and beta-lactamase proteins into the modified genome of the bacteria. For the experiment two plates
