Plantation Crop Biotechnology Applications

A collection of genetic material from a species, preserved for future use.

The process of analyzing DNA to identify specific genetic markers for desired traits.

A method of selecting desirable traits in plants using genetic markers, like a shortcut for breeders.

The use of advanced technologies to study the complete set of genes, proteins, and metabolites in a sample.

Changes in gene expression without alterations in DNA sequence, influenced by environmental factors.

The organelle responsible for energy production in cells, also linked to yield and clonal abnormalities.

A genetic method for incorporating genetic material from one species into another, like mixing genes.

A technique used to preserve living tissue cells at extremely low temperatures, preventing degradation.

The process of growing plants from a small piece of tissue taken from the parent plant.

A technique used to modify the genetic makeup of plants, often to improve traits like yield or oil content.

Using a technique to multiply desirable strains of oil palms, resulting in increased yields.

Practices that aim to minimize the negative impact of agriculture on the environment.

The study and application of biological processes, such as gene modification, to improve plant traits.

A technique used to rapidly multiply plants that reproduce slowly, like rubber trees.

Micropropagation is a valuable technique for maintaining valuable plants, breeding difficult species, and regenerating healthy plants.

The study and application of biological processes to improve the yield and quality of rice production.

A technique that aims to increase rice production by utilizing land that's not ideal for traditional rice cultivation (marginal land).

A type of rice that's been genetically modified to produce higher yields. It's expected to increase rice production by up to 20%.

The study of the complete set of genes (genome) of a rice plant. Understanding these genes is crucial for improving rice quality and yield.

Strategies to increase the amount of plant material (biomass) in rice plants. Focuses on improving photosynthesis and grain filling.

Research that focuses on increasing rice's resistance to pests, diseases, and adverse environmental conditions.

Using new DNA technologies to analyze how rice plants respond to various stresses. This helps us develop more resilient rice varieties.

Understanding how different stress-related pathways in rice plants interact. This opens new avenues for genetic manipulation to create rice that's resistant to multiple stresses.

Altering the genes of rice plants to enhance their tolerance to various pests, diseases, and unfavorable environmental conditions.
