The “Doomsday” Seed Vault, also known as the Svalbard Global Seed Vault, is a secure facility located on a remote island in Norway. Its purpose is to preserve the world’s plant biodiversity by storing seeds from crop plants, wild relatives, and other plant species in case of a global catastrophe. …

Callus culture is a widely used technique in plant research and breeding. It involves inducing the formation of calluses, which are undifferentiated masses of cells that can be regenerated into whole plants. Establishing and maintaining calluses in tissue culture is a crucial step in many plant research studies. However, it …

Creating a fully-formed organism from a single cell is one of the most remarkable feats of biology. While this may seem like a daunting task, every living organism begins its life as a single cell that has the potential to differentiate and develop into every type of cell found in …

Crop diseases are a major concern for farmers and agricultural economies worldwide. These diseases can significantly impact crop yields and quality, leading to economic losses and food insecurity. In this article, we will discuss the ten most important economic impacts of crop diseases. 1. Yield Reduction Crop diseases can have …

Plants have been a crucial part of the earth’s ecosystem for millions of years. From towering trees to tiny mosses, they have diversified and adapted to various environments.

A variety is a genotype or group of genotypes approved for commercial cultivation by the Variety Release Committee and the Bangladesh government. A variety is also termed as ‘cultivar.’ The new variety should have morphological, physiological, and biochemical traits that set it apart from existing cultivars. In addition, it should …

The ultimate aim of any breeding program of any lab is to develop varieties superior to the existing ones in yielding ability, disease and insect resistance, and other characteristics. The release of a strain for use as a variety is based on a conclusive demonstration of its superiority over the …
