Plant Breeding and Biotechnology

21.0K
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 Plants02:50

Transgenic Plants

8.2K
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...

Synthetic Biology

5.3K
Synthetic biology is an interdisciplinary science that involves using principles from disciplines such as engineering, molecular biology, cell biology, and systems biology. It involves remodeling existing organisms from nature or constructing completely new synthetic organisms for applications such as protein or enzyme production, bioremediation, value-added macromolecule production, and the addition of desirable traits to crops, to name a few.

Microorganisms play a crucial role in agriculture and the food industry, contributing to soil fertility, crop protection, and food production. Their functions range from nitrogen fixation and biopesticide production to fermentation and food preservation, making them indispensable to sustainable farming and food safety.Role in AgricultureNitrogen-fixing bacteria, such as Rhizobium (symbiotic) and Azotobacter (free-living), convert atmospheric nitrogen into ammonia through biological nitrogen...

Area of Science:

  • Agricultural Science
  • Biotechnology
  • Regulatory Science

Background:

  • Agricultural biotechnology offers significant benefits for global food security and livelihoods.
  • Developing countries are increasingly adopting genetically modified (GM) crops, necessitating robust regulatory frameworks.
  • Effective product stewardship is vital for the sustainable commercialization and post-release management of GM crops.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess stakeholder knowledge of agricultural biotechnology benefits and commercialization barriers.
  • To identify key areas for capacity building in product stewardship for GM crops.
  • To explore strategies for the post-release management of GM crops.

Main Methods:

  • A survey was conducted with 66 stakeholders attending international agricultural biotechnology short courses, primarily from Africa and Asia.
  • Respondents' knowledge of biotechnology benefits and perceived commercialization barriers were evaluated.
  • Stakeholders' ideas for building product stewardship capacity were collected.

Main Results:

  • Stakeholders demonstrated awareness of biotechnology's advantages and identified potential hurdles to GM crop commercialization.
  • Sixteen GM crops currently in the commercialization pipeline were identified.
  • Participants provided insights into enhancing product stewardship for GM crops.

Conclusions:

  • Strengthening regulatory compliance and product stewardship is essential for sustainable agricultural biotechnology adoption.
  • Capacity building initiatives should focus on various aspects of post-release management, including resistance management and consumer acceptance.
  • Shared responsibility across the product lifecycle is key to successful GM crop commercialization and stewardship.
