Web2.0 Release

Hello! I am Liuyw, Welcome! Here will release sharing Web 2.0 platform.

I just defined What is biotechnology?, now classification discuss. First is plant biotechnology. Plant biotechnology involves the application of genetic engineering, molecular biology and other advanced scientific techniques to develop food and fiber crops with enhanced beneficial traits, such as resistance to destructive insects and diseases, and production of more healthful oils.

Then how How does plant biotechnology work?

Plant breeders identify, select and move genes with beneficial traits from one plant to another in a process that is faster, more efficient and more precise than traditional techniques, such as cross breeding. This method mixes thousands of genes carried in pollen of a plant, such as corn, to isolate a desirable trait or traits. It takes years to complete and does not always result in a variety with the yield, quality traits and other characteristics sought by the breeder.

Biotechnology is a collection of techniques used to move genetic information from one organism to another. United Nations Convention on Biological Diversity defines biotechnology as

Any technological application that uses biological systems, living organisms, or derivatives thereof, to make or modify products or processes for specific use.

biotech1Before 1971, biotechnology was primarily used in the food processing and agriculture industries. Since the 1970s, it began to be used to refer to laboratory-based techniques being developed in biological research, such as recombinant DNA or tissue culture-based processes, or horizontal gene transfer in living plants. In fact, the term should be used in a much broader sense to describe the whole range of methods, both ancient and modern, used to manipulate organic materials to reach the demands of food production.

Biotechnology combines disciplines like genetics, molecular biology, biochemistry, embryology and cell biology, which are in turn linked to practical disciplines like chemical engineering, information technology, and biorobotics.

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to biotechgo.net. It is an honor to start, In fact, I hope i can bring something new and exciting to you through this diverse learning blog. Then i can assure every one of you be here because you deserve to be.

Biotechgo.net mainly observe biotechnology based on biology, especially used in agriculture, food science, and medicine. It absorb everything too. I conclude sharing my knowledge and skills. Challenge myself and my peers on a daily basis. And above all, have fun. I look forward to doing this with you,  Best of luck to each and every one of you!

So welcome!

Hello world!
