Plant biotechnology dissertation

The project work-training of five to six months will be offered to students doing M.Sc/ M.Tech in Biotechnology/ Bioinformatics or Life Science disciplines, and B.Tech (Biotech/Bioinformatics) degree programmes. The training aims at providing an opportunity for carrying out research in Plant Biotechnology and Genomics.

Biotechnology has been described as "Janus-faced". This implies that there are two sides. On one side techniques allow DNA to be manipulated to move genes from one organism to another. On the other, it involves relatively new technologies whose consequences are untested and should be met with caution. Stages of biotechnology development

Biotechnology at the beginning of the twentieth century began to bring industry and agriculture together. During World War I, fermentation processes were developed that produced acetone from starch and paint solvents for the rapidly growing automobile industry.

Another important ground for research in plant biotechnology is making an investigation of the genetic determinants of plant retorts to scarcity and salinity that have a major impact on crop yielding and food. Identification and classification of genes shaping plant responses to drought and salinity. Part of small signing molecules in plant ...
