explain the role of biotechnology in the plant breeding
Answers
⏩One major aspects of biotechnology is the practice of growing plant cells and tissue in a suitable culture medium under control laboratory conditions called
⏩The basics for tissue culture is the of plant cells defined as the capacity of a cell to differentiate into an new organism tissue culture is extensively used for :
1) large scale propagation of medicinal and ornamental plants
2) propagating crops and forest plants
3)developing disease free plants
4)extraction of many useful metabolites .
⏩ Modification of genes in a plant instead of randomly mixing jeans as in conventional plant breeding a specific gene responsible for desired rate it selected and introduced directly into the new plant variety called .
⏩ RecombinantDNA technology involves manipulation of genetic material of an organism and the laboratory conditions the DNA containing the desired gene is isolated from a cell of its normal occurrence and transferred into a new host cell with the help of a career DNA called

Role of Bio-technology in plant breeding
O It helps in vegetative propagation .
⇒ Bio - technology helps in asexual reproduction of plants or artificial reproduction of plants .
⇒ The benefits of vegetative propagation are as follows :-
(i) It is economical .
(ii) It leads to better growth of new plants .
(iii) It is environment friendly .
(iv) It helps in generating employment .
(v) It produced more seeds and efficient offspring plants.
(vi) It is hence a method of afforestation .
There are various kinds of propagation and it is helpful in plant breeding .
O Bio - technology helps in nutrition of plants
⇒ The plant which will breed requires care and proper nutrients to produce the best offspring .
⇒ This is achieved by bio-technology.
⇒ Proper care and supply of efficient nutrients helps in better breeding and better production .
O It produces the desired plant
⇒ Bio-technology helps in producing the desired plant type .
⇒ In order to get a hybrid plant , we have to make a cross breed between fully recessive and fully dominant plants .
⇒ Thus it is very economical and at the same time it does not cause problems to the ecology of the plant life !
O Conservation of plant parts
⇒ Bio - technology helps to conserve tissues , cells and other organs of the plant .
⇒ They are stored in suitable temperatures and is helpful in many industries.
I have explained 4 points if you need more comment ...
Hope it helps !
