  Secondary metabolites obtained from medicinal plant species by using Tissue culture Techniques 20 medicinal plant species used for the production of secondary metabolites P lants play a dominant role in the introduction of new therapeutics agents and also drugs from the higher plants continue to occupy an important niche in modern medicine. Pharmaceuticals companies depend largely upon materials procured from naturally occurring strands that are being rapidly depleted because of the use of parts like roots, barks, wood, stem, and the whole plant in the case of herbs. This poses a definite threat to the genetic stocks and the diversity of medicinal plants.  Plant tissue culture is an alternative method of propagation and is being used widely for the commercial propagation of a large number of plant species, including many medicinal plants. For some years, there has been great interest in the exploitation of plant cell cultures to produce fine chemicals. Plant material enriche...

20 Selected Definitions of Biotechnology Definitions of Biotechnology  B iotechnology is the perfect combination of biology and technology(Bio +Technology) actually it is the combination of these two fields that are applied to benefits for industrial areas, our medical field, environment health, many more. The term, biotechnology is of recent origin, the discipline itself is very old.  Different scientists and researchers have different views to explain the term biotechnology, here are 20 different definitions that explain biotechnology. These definitions are reproduced below with the view orient the readers to the nature and scope of the discipline.  1. Biotechnology is a fusion of biology and technology means the use of biological agents or their components for generating useful products services. 2. The applications of scientific and engineering principles to the processing of materials by biological agents to provide goods and services. 3. Any technological applicatio...

  17 Most Important Applications Of Green biotechnology Agrobiotechnology  Green biotechnology related to plants of improving both the quality and quantity of plants. The main goal of green biotechnology is the production of an improved variety of plants, with the help of biotechnology-based techniques that should be environmentally friendly solutions.  The main aim of green biotechnology is to tackle food security issues and reduce the environmental footprint of the industry. Green biotechnology can improve the global food situation.  17 Most Important Applications Of Green Biotechnology :  1. Micropropagation  One of the most important applications of green biotechnology is the micropropagation of plant species. this technique has attained the status of a large plant-based industry. Micropropagation is the true type of propagation of selected genotypes using small pieces of tissues which can stay as an important technique for rapid production of many...

  20 Major Applications Of Red Biotechnology Red Biotechnology is a branch of modern biotechnology T he term Biotechnology was introduced by a Hungarian engineer, Karl Ereky in 1917. Ereky defined biotechnology as “ all lines of work by which products are produced from raw materials with the aid of living things”. Biotechnology is a multidisciplinary application. Biotechnological research has a wide range of applications that are shown in medical and health science, agriculture science, and environmental science. Bio-Pharmaceutical is known as Red- Biotechnology. This branch of biotechnology is related to health care. The main utilization of this branch is shown in the field of medicine. Red biotechnology helps to improve the quality of life. Red-Biotechnology has a wide range of applications. Many applications are shown in medical and health science, genetic engineering, gene therapy, and many more fields related to the medical line. 20 Major Applications of Red Biotechnology are...

  20 enzymes that are used in the food & Beverages industry Enzymes name and its uses E nzymes are biological molecules typically made up of proteins, it is a fundamental task of proteins. The enzyme is very sensitive in nature. many physiochemical changes in the enzyme are affecting by changes in pH, temperature, substrate concentration, etc.  The enzyme has a wide range of applications. There are several uses of an enzyme in the biofuel industry, biological detergent, culinary uses, dairy industry, molecular biology, paper industry, personal care, starch industry, food production, food processing, and food preservation.  As per recent estimates, a great majority of industrially produced enzymes are useful in processes related to foods(45%), detergents (35%), textiles ( 10%), and leather(3%).   An enzyme is a biocatalyst that increases the rate of a chemical reaction without itself undergoing any change, Virtually all cellular reactions are mediated by...

  eDNA eDNA -Environmental monitoring technique D NA is the genetic material of living organisms that contain characteristics related information of the specific organism. In modern laboratory diagnostics, DNA analysis is a very useful and sensitive tool.  For the Diagnosis of target  DNA, there is an essential DNA sequence required for the laboratory work. This can be achieved by nucleic acid hybridization, DNA probes, and DNA chips microarray of gene probes all of these tools are essential for DNA diagnosis purposes. DNA analysis for environmental monitoring  Today, environmental pollution is a major problem that we face. Pollutants that cause environmental pollution degrade the purity of our environment. Some several pathogenic microorganisms and viruses may cause environmental pollution, particularly water pollution.  DNA analysis can also be employed for the specific detection of indicator bacteria such as Escherichia coli to check the quality of potable wa...

  How real time-RT-PCR helps to detect coronavirus? The application part of Modified PCR Image Credit/@cdc on unsplash.com Coronavirus is a newly discovered virus that causes coronavirus disease .i.e. COVID-19. Coronavirus also is known as Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2(SARS-CoV-2). It is highly pathogenic to the human population in the twenty-first century. The emergence of the COVID-19 introduced in late December 2019 in Wuhan, China. Biology of CoronaVirus Coronavirus is large and has enveloped RNA .ie.RNA virus. During genome, translation coronavirus replicate entails ribosome frameshifts. Coronavirus viral family has intensified with the causative agent of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS). Coronavirus has a large enveloped with a positive-sense single-stranded RNA genome. This virus has high genomic nucleotide substitution rates and recombination properties. It is recognized as one of the most rapidly evolving. How coronavirus spread...
