biotechnology. I restrict biotechnology to mean techniques involving the use of molecular biology of DNA. These techniques facilitate two related but different applications: the extremely specific identification of the DNA in a biological organism, and the transfer and biological functioning of DNA from one organism to another. The first has led to the ability to detect the presence or absence ...

journal of cell and molecular research (jcmr) was first published in 2008 as the first journal in the field of cell and molecular biology research. the need for the establishment of jcmr was felt as a platform for the young cell and molecular biology researchers under the supervision of respective experts. jcmr was established to focus on almost all fields of cell and molecular research and som...

The development of plant biotechnologies has been very rapid in recent times, especially in the developed countries. The technologies have created a new branch of biotechnology known as molecular farming, where plants are engineered to produce pharmaceutical and technical proteins in large quantities. An evaluation of the status of plant biotechnology development in Africa revealed that majorit...

Appropriate plant biotechnology applications could be a major tool in the fight against hunger and poverty, especially in developing economies. Some promising results have already been reported through a range of biotechnology applications, for example the mass propagation of plants through in vitro clonal propagation, use of molecular markers and marker assisted breeding to improve plant breed...
