3. Biotechnology- An introduction
In fact , is a product of interaction between science of biology and technology.
It is the technological exploitation and control use of biological system.
According to US national science foundation
It is controlled use of biological agent such as micro-organism or cellular
components for beneficial for bacterial use
According European Federation of Biotechnology

13. Stages of biotechnology development
Ancient biotechnology - 8000-4000 B.C
Early history as related to food and shelter; includes domestication
Classical biotechnology - 2000 B.C.; 1800-1900 AD
Built on ancient biotechnology; fermentation promoted food production
and medicine
1900-1953: Genetics
1953 - 1976: DNA research, science explodes
Modern biotechnology - 1977
History of Biotechnology
Term Biotechnology- Karl Ereky (Hungarian engineer) in 1919
14. History of Biotechnology- Old
The origin of biotechnology can be traced back to prehistoric times when
microorganisms were already used for process like:
Fermentation using yeast
Formation of yogurt using Lactocillius bulgaricus or Strptococcus lactis
Formation of cheese from milk ( Lactic group, Proionibacterium,
Penicillium roquefort)
Production of vinegar from molasses (Acetobacter spps)
Production of butanol and acetone from starch using Clostridium
acetobutylicum
Production of antibiotics from Penicillium notatum
15. Biotechnology got a boost in 1970’s with discovery of restriction
enzymes which led to the development of a variety of gene technology
which is considered to be greatest technology of the century
Gene technology / genetic engineering: refers to a number of new
techniques for changing plants genetically that do not rely on sexual
methods instead involves genetic manipulation at cellular or molecular
level
These are non sexual methods of gene transfer
16. 1838 – Schwann and Schleiden put forward the Cell Theory
Which states that cells are basic unit of living organisms, was very
quick to gain acceptance.
However the second portion that states that these structural units are
distinct and potentially totipotent and in principle, are capable of
regenerating into a complete plant, failed to gain universal acceptance,
because of the inability to demonstrate totipotency in labs
Their theory was the foundation of plant cell and tissue culture.
Historical developments of plant biotechnology
17. 1902 – Gottlieb Haberlandt conducted the first but unsuccessful
attempt of tissue culture using monocotyledons.
He is regarded as Father of tissue culture
He was successful in culturing cells to synthesize starch as well as
increase in size and survival for several weeks but failed to induce
these cells to divide.

35. Plant biotechnology can be defined as the application of tissue culture and molecular
genetics to develop or produce a commodity from plants.
Plant biotechnology and its scope
The plants are mainly manipulated for two major objectives
A. Crop improvement
1. Herbicide tolerance (Glyphosate and Glufosinate tolerant crops)
2. Pest resistance (Bt Cotton)
3. Drought tolerance ( DroughtGard maize)
4. Virus resistant (UH Rainbow resistant to papaya ringspot virus)
5. Acidity and Salinity tolerance
6. Increased shelf life ( Flavr-Savr tomato: antisense polygalacturonase)
B. Nutritional value of crops
1. Improving food quality and safety
2. Healthier cooking oils by decreasing the conc. of saturated fatty acids in vegetable
oils
3. Functional foods: foods containing significant levels of biologically active
components that impart health benefits ( Vitamin A-enriched golden rice)
37. Farmers have widely adopted GM technology.
Between 1996 and 2011, the total surface area of land cultivated with GM crops had
increased from 17,000 square kilometers (4,200,000 acres) to 1,600,000 km2 (395
million acres).
10% of the world's crop lands were planted with GM crops in 2010.
As of 2011, 11 different transgenic crops were grown commercially on 395
million acres (160 million hectares) in 29 countries such as the USA, Brazil,
Argentina, India, Canada, China, Paraguay, Pakistan, South Africa, Uruguay,
Bolivia, Australia, Philippines, Myanmar, Burkina Faso, Mexico and Spain.
To date most genetic modification of foods have primarily focused on cash
crops in high demand by farmers such as soybean, corn, canola, and cotton seed
oil.
