Plant Breeding and Biotechnology

Plant Breeding and Biotechnology

Crop cultivation has a long history in human civilization, with records showing the cultivation of cereal plants beginning at around 8000 BC. This early plant breeding was developed primarily to provide a steady supply of food.

Transgenic Plants

Transgenic Plants

Recombinant DNA technology called transgenesis is often used to add a foreign gene or remove a detrimental gene from an organism. Such genetically modified organisms are called transgenic organisms.
The first-ever transgenic plant was a tobacco plant developed in 1983 that showed resistance against the tobacco mosaic virus. Since then, many transgenic plants have been developed and commercialized for improving the agricultural, ornamental, and horticultural value of a crop plant. Transgenic...

Responses to Drought and Flooding

Responses to Drought and Flooding

Water plays a significant role in the life cycle of plants. However, insufficient or excess of water can be detrimental and pose a serious threat to plants.

Bioreactor Controls-III

Bioreactor Controls-III

Strain improvement is a foundational strategy in industrial microbiology aimed at maximizing microbial productivity, particularly because natural isolates typically yield commercially valuable products in very low concentrations. Although optimizing the culture medium and environmental conditions can improve yields, these adjustments are inherently limited by the organism’s genetic potential. As a result, the focus shifts toward genetic modifications to enhance biosynthetic capacity. The...

Area of Science:

Agricultural Science
Genomics
Plant Breeding

Background:

Sustainable rice production faces challenges: pests, diseases, fertilizer overuse, water scarcity, and marginal land cultivation.
Genomic research offers solutions to develop resilient and efficient rice varieties.
Green Super Rice aims to improve yield and quality while reducing environmental inputs.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop advanced rice cultivars (Green Super Rice) addressing key sustainability challenges.
To enhance rice resistance to insects, diseases, and drought.
To improve nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) use efficiency and grain quality.

Main Methods:

Screening germplasm collections and mutant libraries.
Gene discovery, identification, and functional testing via transgenic analysis.
Microarray analysis for gene expression under stress conditions.

Main Results:

Genes for multiple desired traits (pest/disease resistance, nutrient efficiency, drought tolerance) have been identified globally.
These genes are being incorporated into elite rice cultivars using marker-assisted selection and transformation.
Progress has been made in isolating genes for almost all target traits.

Conclusions:

Genomic strategies are crucial for developing sustainable rice varieties.
Green Super Rice cultivars are expected to significantly reduce the need for pesticides, fertilizers, and water.
Continued research and gene introgression will lead to the realization of Green Super Rice.
