Question

please answer all parts

1. A plant biotechnology company who wants to produce disease-resistant cereal plants disease resistant has employed you. The company has limited resources for extensive research and development strategies and is interested in immediate products. The company is willing to leave the decision of choosing the right breeding technology to you. a) What would be the breeding technology you would choose and why? (look at the last part of the breeding lecture slides) b) Would you consider vegetative propagation as an approach and if so how would you design a strategy? c) Will you choose cereal crops of different species to cross in your experiments or from same species? If either, why?

Answer 1

Biotechnology: Biotechnology deals with the use of biological process for the production of materials and services of benifit to humankinds.

1)By the Biotechnology use of techniques for improvement plant resistance and important of commercially important plants.

2)resistant against the herbicide

3)improvement method e.g selection,hybridisation ,protoplast fusion,

4)insect and pest resistance .

Technology can use

improvement in photosynthesis

The photosynthesis under certain conditions inhibit corboxylation as a result of which 25% of the fixed Corbin dioxide is photorespired as corbon diaoxide .one such gene controlling enzyme to increase plant yield.

Herbicide tolerance

By the herbicides kill the weed .it's apply by spraying process.

insect resistance

In this application insect kill and reduce plant infection.

vegetative propagation

Vegetative propagation of cross pollinating by tissue culture include DNA transformation,gene identification etc.it is most important to plant yield.

Cereals plant use for change the trait. Iplant breeding has increasing production of plants for increasing food demond.its aim to improving genetic makeup of crop plants.
