This document summarizes research on transgenic vegetables for horticulture. It discusses how transgenic crops can be used to enhance pest resistance, quality traits, and sustainability in vegetable production. Specifically, it reviews advances in transgenic tomato, potato, eggplant, squash and sweet corn. Transgenic tomatoes have been developed to delay fruit ripening. Transgenic potatoes with resistance to the Colorado potato beetle and viruses were commercialized in the 1990s but later removed from the market due to trade and consumer issues. The document argues that transgenic crops have potential to address challenges in vegetable production, but their development and commercialization faces high costs and regulatory hurdles.
The document discusses biofortification in fruit crops. It defines biofortification as adding nutritional value to crops through breeding to address vitamin and mineral deficiencies in humans. It discusses the need for biofortification due to issues like malnutrition and "hidden hunger." It then describes various methods of biofortification including plant breeding, agronomic practices, and genetic engineering. Examples provided include biofortified orange sweet potatoes, cassava, potatoes, cowpeas, and bananas bred to increase nutrients like vitamin A, iron, and zinc. The conclusion states that biofortified crops can complement existing interventions to significantly impact health, especially of vulnerable groups.

Organic plant breeding aims to develop crop varieties without using chemicals. It focuses on creating varieties that are well-adapted to organic farming systems and resistant to biotic and abiotic stresses without the use of pesticides. Organic varieties are developed and tested exclusively under organic conditions. The objectives of organic plant breeding include improving competitiveness against weeds, quality over yield, biodiversity, and resistance to stresses. Common breeding techniques include selection, hybridization and plant introduction, but GMOs, radiation, and synthetic chemicals are prohibited.
White mold, caused by the fungus Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, has become a serious problem for soybean production, especially with intensive production techniques. The disease is favored by specific weather conditions during soybean flowering. To manage white mold, farmers can select moderately resistant soybean varieties, practice canopy management with appropriate row spacing, use delayed planting and rotation to non-host crops like corn or small grains. Reduced tillage may also help by exposing sclerotia to weathering instead of distributing them throughout the soil. The biofungicide Contans, containing the predatory fungus Coniothyrium minitans, shows effectiveness against white mold.
What is a GMO? Genetically modified organisms (GMOs) are living organisms whose genetic material has been artificially manipulated in a laboratory through genetic engineering. This creates combinations of plant, animal, bacteria, and virus genes that do not occur in nature or through traditional crossbreeding methods.
One specific concern is the possibility for GMOs to negatively affect human health. This could result from differences in nutritional content, allergic response, or undesired side effects such as toxicity, organ damage, or gene transfer.
Contrary to what some believe, GMO crops can actually allow farmers to use less (and less toxic) pesticides on their fields. ... “On average, GM technology adoption has reduced chemical pesticide use by 37%, increased crop yields by 22%, and increased farmer profits by 68%.”
This document summarizes biotechnological approaches that can be used to improve sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) and niger (Guizotia abyssinica) crops.

Finally, the potential of genetic engineering to transfer beneficial genes, especially for seed oil quality, from other sources is mentioned. Overall, the document outlines various biotechnological strategies, including tissue culture, molecular breeding, and genetic transformation, that can help overcome challenges facing sesame and niger improvement.
Effect of foliar application of water soluble fertilizer on growth, yield and...Innspub Net
The tomato is the one of the most famous crops in Pakistan. It is used and consumed as fresh as well as in processed form. Its botanical name is Solanum lycopersicon Mill. The proposed study had been conducted in the year 2017-2018 in order to find the best combination of water soluble NPK fertilizers as compared to control. Five different types of water soluble fertilizers were collected from different sources and were applied at 5% concentration during the entire growing period of the tomato crop. The experiment was designed using Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with five treatments and three replications of each. Different vegetative, reproductive and bio-chemical parameters were recorded and analyzed statistically at 5% level of significance. The treatments were compared using LSD test. It was concluded that different NPK water soluble fertilizers showed variation in physical and bio chemical parameters in tomato plants as compared to control. The plants showed variation in plant height, No. of fruit per plant, fruit yield per hectare, Individual fruit weight, fruit weight per plant, No. of diseased fruit per plant, date of first harvest, Fruit color Fruit length (cm), fruit size (cm), fruit firmness, total NPK contents, vitamincmg Chlorophyll concentration, pH, (TSS), Electricity conductivity (EC) and Titratable acidity Among all the water soluble treatments, the T3 treatment (WSF 20:20:20) yielded the comparatively better results as compared to other WSF treatments. So it was concluded that T3 was the recommended water soluble fertilizer for tomato.
Plant Domestication and selection in plant breeding SHWETA GUPTA
Plant domestication began around 10,000 years ago when humans began agriculture. Through domestication, humans brought wild plant species under human management by selecting for desirable traits. This led to changes in the physical characteristics of plants over many generations as domesticated plants became dependent on humans for propagation. The main purposes of domestication were to obtain food, clothing, shelter and medicines. The process involved natural selection, spontaneous mutations, and selective breeding to develop cultivated varieties that differed from their wild ancestors in traits like yield, germination rates, and disease resistance. Domestication made plants better suited for agriculture but also less resistant to stresses over time.

A genetically modified organism (GMO) is an organism whose genetic material has been altered using genetic engineering techniques. This involves combining DNA from different sources to create new genes, which are then transferred to an organism to give it modified or novel genes. GMOs have widespread applications in biological research, medicine, agriculture, and more. Some advantages of GMOs include higher crop yields, lower food prices, and using fewer pesticides. However, some disadvantages include possible harm to other organisms, cross-pollination with non-GMO plants, and concerns about risks to health and the environment. Views on GMOs are mixed, as some see benefits in addressing issues like hunger and malnutrition, while others have concerns about their effects.

Strobilurin fungicides effectively control disease and reduce yield loss in corn. However, overuse can contribute to fungal resistance. Alternative fungicide programs using ProAct and propiconazole have been shown to increase corn yields and success rates comparable to or better than programs relying solely on strobilurin fungicides. This suggests such alternatives may help reduce reliance on at-risk chemistry like strobilurins, while maintaining yield benefits.

Liquid Microbial Biofertilizers (LMF) for enhancing soil fertility '“ A Reviewijtsrd
This document discusses liquid microbial biofertilizers (LMF) for enhancing soil fertility. It notes that biofertilizers contain living microorganisms that promote nutrient supply to plants and ensure proper growth. Liquid biofertilizers have longer shelf lives than solid biofertilizers and are easier to apply. They are classified into nitrogen fixing, phosphorus solubilizing, and potash mobilizing microbes. Common types discussed are Rhizobium, Azotobacter, Azospirillum, and Aspergillus, which can fix nitrogen or solubilize phosphorus to enhance soil fertility and plant growth. The document emphasizes the importance of liquid biofertilizers for sustainable agriculture to increase food production through
Victus Laboratories produces specialty plant nutrition products to improve soil fertility and crop productivity in India. Their brochure highlights the need to address micronutrient deficiencies in Indian soils through integrated nutrient management. It promotes their line of soil amendments, foliar sprays, and surfactants that aim to boost yields by enhancing nutrient uptake and plant stress tolerance. Victus claims their micronutrient mixes and surfactants efficiently deliver nutrients to leaves and roots through nano-scale droplets and pores.
Transgenic plants are plants that have had their genomes modified through genetic engineering by adding or removing genes. Genetic engineering can make plants resistant to diseases, insects, herbicides, or environmental stresses. Some applications of transgenic plants include producing insect-resistant crops using Bt genes, virus-resistant crops, increasing crop yields, improving nutrition by adding essential amino acids, and using plants to produce industrial compounds. Commercially grown transgenic crops include herbicide-resistant soybeans and insect-resistant corn and cotton.
Somaclonal Variation: A new dimension for sugarcane improvementDr. siddhant
Plant tissue culture or micropropagation technique is the rapid method to multiply newly released cultivar in limited
time. Crop improvement by conventional method in vegetatively propagated crops like sugarcane is very difficult due to
its narrow genetic base and other limitations. Somaclonal variations are easily achieved in asexually propagated crops
like sugarcane and banana. Tissue culture derived variations are known as somaclonal variation. These variations play
an important role in crop improvement program. Genetic variations are heritable in next generation and important for
crop improvement, epigenetic changes are temporary ultimately reversible. Mutation breeding is also very advantageous
for improving a cultivar. Somaclonal variants of sugarcane are available for several traits like drought, salt tolerance, red
rot, eye spot disease, quality and quantity trait. Molecular marker techniques like RFLP, RAPD, AFLP and SSR etc. are
regularly used preferentially over traditional phenotypic or cytological methods.

The document discusses genetically modified foods (GMFs) and their potential benefits and controversies. It argues that GMFs are acceptable if they are proven to be safe for human health and not harmful to the environment based on scientific evidence and international risk assessments. The document notes potential benefits of GMFs for crops, animals, the environment, and increasing global food security. However, it also acknowledges controversies around GMFs regarding their safety, corporate control of the food system, and ethics. It provides an overview of the regulatory system for GMFs in the Philippines and an example of a farmer who increased his yields and income through growing insect-resistant Bt corn. In conclusion, the document expresses support for GMF
Current approaches toward production of secondary plant metabolitesAswin M Babu
The document discusses current approaches for producing secondary plant metabolites through plant tissue culture. It outlines that secondary metabolites are not essential for plant growth but aid in defense against pathogens. Approaches discussed include using endophytes, precursor feeding, immobilization techniques, hairy root cultures, elicitation, and metabolic engineering to optimize cultural conditions and increase metabolite yields. Hairy root cultures offer genetic stability and fast growth for metabolite production. Overall, the document reviews strategies for improving production of valuable secondary metabolites through in vitro plant cell culture systems.

Pre-Breeding helps to develop new genetic resources using genomic tools to predict the effect of introducing different genes from wild relatives into cultivated varieties.
The document discusses the history and applications of agricultural biotechnology. It begins with the early domestication of crops by farmers selecting desirable traits over thousands of years. More recently, biotechnology has been used to develop crops with increased yields, disease resistance, and nutritional value. Examples discussed include Golden Rice, which was engineered to produce beta-carotene to address vitamin A deficiency, and the development of pesticide-resistant crops and plants that can serve as vaccines when ingested. The document also examines the use of biotechnology to improve animal health, create antibiotics, and enhance the traits of ornamental plants and flowers.
Biofortification is one solution among many that are needed to solve the complex problem of micronutrient deficiency, and it complements existing interventions.
This document discusses commercial bioherbicides for weed control. It begins by outlining the problems caused by weeds in agriculture and the need for more sustainable weed control technologies. It then describes the three main types of weed control - mechanical, chemical, and biological. The document focuses on biological control, explaining what bioherbicides are and the process of discovering, developing, mass producing, formulating, and applying them. It provides examples of commercially registered bioherbicides and concludes by stating that bioherbicides are typically narrow-spectrum and intended to be used as part of integrated weed management.
This document discusses breeding for improved quality in vegetables. It defines quality as the attributes that make vegetables acceptable and nutritious for human consumption. Quality is a complex breeding goal that is influenced by both genetic and environmental factors. Traits like yield and disease resistance have traditionally received more focus than quality. The document outlines different types of quality traits like quantitative, hidden, and sensory, and how they are governed by oligogenic, polygenic or maternal inheritance. It discusses various breeding approaches that can be used to improve quality like using germplasm, mutagenesis, hybridization, somaclonal variation and genetic engineering. Examples of quality improved vegetable cultivars developed through these methods are also provided.

Nutrigenomics and its application in aquaculture. Nutrigenomics is the manipulation of gene expression through diet to achieve optimal genetic performance. Probiotics and prebiotics are used in aquaculture to control disease, improve growth and health. Probiotics work by competitively excluding pathogens, producing inhibitory substances, and improving water quality. They also upregulate growth genes and immune genes, activate the immune system, and improve gut immunity. Symbiotics, which combine probiotics and prebiotics, have synergistic beneficial effects in aquaculture.
This document discusses biopesticides and their advantages over conventional chemical pesticides. It defines biopesticides as pesticides derived from natural materials like animals, plants, bacteria and certain minerals. The document then covers various types of biopesticides including biochemical pesticides that use semiochemicals, hormones and plant regulators; microbial pesticides that use bacteria, fungi, viruses and protozoa; and plant-incorporated protectants that use genetic engineering to induce pest resistance. Examples are provided for different biopesticides and their modes of action are explained, highlighting their effectiveness and eco-friendly nature compared to chemical pesticides.
