PCR TECHNIQUE ANIMATION

Hi friends.......

                

                  we all are know about PCR technique...how it works,what is the basic principle and what is the final results we obtained after completion of PCR cycles....but the above information is theoretical only.

                  So here  i am providing you animation of PCR technique,this is the real scenario.i think this animation is helps you to undrstand clearly about PCR technique.

Origin of cultivated plants

Hi friends........
                In my first sem of AgBT we don't have material regarding origin of cultivated plants in BA PB....But now i got one e book about this topic.so please go through this book..
               i think this book is use full to u...

BT Cotton

Cotton and other monocultured crops require an intensive use of pesticides as various types of pests attack these crops causing extensive damage. Over the past 40 years, many pests have developed resistance to pesticides.

So far, the only successful approach to engineering crops for insect tolerance has been the addition of Bt toxin, a family of toxins originally derived from soil bacteria. The Bt toxin contained by the Bt crops is no different from other chemical pesticides, but causes much less damage to the environment. These toxins are effective against a variety of economically important crop pests but pose no hazard to non-target organisms like mammals and fish. Three Bt crops are now commercially available: corn, cotton, and potato.
As of now, cotton is the most popular of the Bt crops: it was planted on about 1.8 million acres (728437 ha) in 1996 and 1997. The Bt gene was isolated and transferred from a bacterium bacillus thurigiensis to American cotton. The American cotton was subsequently crossed with Indian cotton to introduce the gene into native varieties.
The Bt cotton variety contains a foreign gene obtained from bacillus thuringiensis. This bacterial gene, introduced genetically into the cotton seeds, protects the plants from bollworm (A. lepidoptora), a major pest of cotton. The worm feeding on the leaves of a BT cotton plant becomes lethargic and sleepy, thereby causing less damage to the plant.
Field trials have shown that farmers who grew the Bt variety obtained 25%–75% more cotton than those who grew the normal variety. Also, Bt cotton requires only two sprays of chemical pesticide against eight sprays for normal variety. According to the director general of the Indian Council of Agricultural Research, India uses about half of its pesticides on cotton to fight the bollworm menace.

Use of Bt cotton has led to a 3%–27 increase in cotton yield in countries where it is grown.

OUR AGBT STUDENTS AND PRESENT POSITIONS

Lot of the people don't know the potential that our course has. So, to prove that wrong, here is the google spreadsheet that has information of what the old AU AgBT students are doing and where they are placed . . .

As batches leave the campus this spreadsheet will be updated.

Always be proud to be an AU AgBT student . . . :-)

HI FRIENDS......

GOOD MORNING.....
                
                OUR GROUP AGRICULTURAL BIOTECHNOLOGY IS STARTED IN THE YEAR 2004,DEPARTMENT OF BOTANY ANDHRA UNIVERSITY VIZAG..
                FROM THAT YEAR 5 BATCHES OF STUDENTS COMPLETED THE COURSE SUCCESSFULLY..NOW 6TH & 7TH BATCHES R RUNNING...
                ALL STUDENTS FROM THIS GROUP WERE SETTLED WELL,IN DIFFERENT FIELDS LIKE RESEARCH,R & D,RESEARCH ASSOCIATES,SEED PRODUCTION AND SOME OF THEM ARE ALSO SETTLED IN OTHER COUNTRIES.....
                 SO IN THIS BLOG I WILL PROVIDE YOU THE NECESSARY INFORMATION REGARDING THE COURSE JOBS AND OTHER RELATED INFORMATION....
                 NOW I WILL ENCLOSE THE DETAILS OF OUR 5 BATCHES OF STUDENTS.......

What is agricultural biotechnology?Agricultural biotechnology is an advanced technology that allows plant breeders to make precise genetic changes to impart beneficial traits to the crop plants we rely on for food and fiber.
For centuries farmers and plant breeders have labored to improve crop plants. Traditional breeding methods include selecting and sowing the seeds from the strongest, most desirable plants to produce the next generation of crops. By selecting and breeding plants with characteristics such as higher yield, resistance to pests and hardiness, early farmers dramatically changed the genetic make-up of crop plants long before the science of genetics was understood. As a result, most of today's crop plants bear little resemblance to their wild ancestors.
The tools of modern biotechnology allow plant breeders to select genes that produce beneficial traits and move them from one organism to another. This process is far more precise and selective than crossbreeding, which involves the transfer of tens of thousands of genes, and provided plant developers with a more detailed knowledge of the changes being made.
The ability to introduce genetic material from other plants and organisms opens up a world of possibilities to benefit food production. As an example, "Bt" crops that are protected against insect damage contain selected genes found in the common soil bacteria, Bacillus thuringiensis. The Bt genes contain information that the plant uses to produce a protein toxic to the larvae of certain plant pests but is safe for humans, animals and other insects. Pest-protected Bt plants stop these insects from eating and destroying the plant, which improves yields and reduces the need for pesticide applications, saving the farmer time and money. Organic farmers use this same Bt to protect their crops from insects.
