10 Real Breakthroughs in Green Biotechnology

               Agricultural Biotechnology's real developments

           Green Biotechnology made real advancement is classical agriculture approaches. The newly emerged branch developed the agriculture all branches for example plant breeding and genetics, pathological studies of plants, entomology and many more. There are following revolutionary steps appeared which are given below;
  1. Genome sequencing helped to sequence the whole genome of major crops that aided selective breeding to enhanced the genetically controlled traits and decreased the duration of breeding cycle. 
  2. Genetically modified crops(GMO) are the revolution in green biotechnology, it is reported fact that about 57 major and minor plant species modified with the help of biotechnological approaches.
  3. Gene Biotechnology is used to transfer gene from one plant variety to another variety even inter-specific or inter-generic transfer became feasible. 
  4. Non Gene Biotechnology is most widely used branch in agricultural biotechnology in different ways like tissue culture and hybrid seed production etc.
  5. Bio-fortification improved crop nutrient values and enhanced the calories that mitigate the population needs of food with better quality.
  6.  Comparative genomics aided the bio technologists to study the evolutionary history of plants and their interrelationship at gene level.
  7. Epi-genetics variations are also helpful for breeding process in crop plants are the fruit of agricultural biotechnology.
  8.  Increased food production, milk production, meat production with the help of genetic engineering are the real advancements of green biotechnology.
  9. Disease resistance crops, herbicide tolerance, fertilizer responsive varieties, insect tolerance and resistance, and high yielding varieties are the real breakthroughs of research in this field.
  10. Tissue culture,Somoclonal variation, micro propagation and haploid production are the success stories of biotechnology.
