Biotechnology for Global Health : Solutions for the Developing World
Identifying and developing emerging biotechnologies is important in improving health in the poorest nations because current health products and practices are generally not suited for their developing economies, their inadequate transport and power infrastructures, their largely rural populace, and their rugged and often tropical environments. Advances in biotechnology will more likely be valued...
متن کاملPlant biotechnology in agriculture.
Knowledge on plant genomes has progressed during the past few years. Two plant genomes, those of Arabidopsis thaliana and rice, have been sequenced. Our present knowledge of synteny also indicates that, despite plasticity contributing to the diversity of the plant genomes, the organization of genes is conserved within large sections of chromosomes. In parallel, novel plant transformation system...
متن کاملAGRICULTURE AND ENVIRONMENTAL bIOTECHNOLOGY
Survival of microorganisms in the Antarctic and Arctic conditions of life requires of the relevant genera and species special adaptability and resistance against stressors such as lack of substrate, UV-radiation, low temperatures for a long time and short-term intense heat during the Antarctic and Arctic summer. Therefore genetic adaptation of Antarctic and Arctic organisms to stress factors wo...
متن کاملBiotechnology in Agriculture
■ Abstract The consequences of the invention of DNA-based molecular techniques and their application to agriculture have been pervasive. This review examines the key consequences for farmers and the public. These include widespread commercial applications of agricultural biotechnology in a limited number of countries, a large private-sector investment in biotechnology research, significant econ...
متن کاملBiotechnology: Catalyst for Change in Agriculture
tation of productive new technologies that provide more food, shelter, and industrial materials for an expanding world population. Agricultural output needed to produce an abundant food supply for nations where economies and distribution systems are adequate is currently achieved on approximately six million square miles of cultivated land, the same land use as in 1950, despite a doubling in wo...
