2. • Different generation of agronomic bio-tech traits
may possibly be improved the quality and yield of
crops.
• GMOs may increased agricultural production,
improved human health, and reduced
environmental pollution.
• Adoption of GM crop technology has increased
quickly since 1990.
Introduction
2

3. • GM crops are plants used in agriculture, the
DNA of which has been modified using genetic
engineering techniques. In most cases, the aim is
to introduce a new trait to the plant which does
not occur naturally in the species.
• Genetic modification involves making changes
to an organism's genes to give it new traits that
wouldn't occur in nature or to eliminate
undesirable traits.

8. Some Genetically Modified Trait
• Virus Resistance, Example: GM papaya
• Pest Resistance,Example: Bt corn
• Herbicide Tolerance,Example: Roundup Ready
soybean
• Fortification,Example: Golden rice
• Cosmetic Preservation,Example: Arctic Apple

10. Some Initiatives in Bangladesh
• Dhaka University, Bangladesh Agricultural University (BAU),
Rajshahi University (RU), Bangladesh Sugarcane Research
Institute (BSRI), BARI, BRRI, and BINA have started genetic
fingerprinting and genetic engineering research.
• BRRI developed vitamin A-enriched Golden Rice
• BARI developed fruit and shoot borer resistant Bt brinjal.
• The Department of Botany in Dhaka University started a
program on plant biotechnology
• The Hawii University has shown interest for bilateral co-
operation with Bangladesh in providing papaya conferred with
resistance against papaya ringspot virus (PRSV).

11. The Limitation & constraints for capacity building
in biotechnology in Bangladesh may be summarised
as follows:
• Capital incentiveness of biotechnology.
• Poor economic condition of the country.
• Lack of venture capital.
• Lack of political will.
• Lack of adequate trained manpower
• Lack of incentives for biotech researchers.

12. The Advantages of Genetically Modified Crops
• Better For The Environment
• Resistance To Disease
• Sustainability
• Increased Flavor and Nutrition
• Keeps It Affordable
12

13. • Not Enough Testing
• Allergies On The Rise
• Less Effective Antibiotics
• Cross Contamination
The Disadvantages of Genetically Modified Crops
13

14. • Drug In Plant Product.
• Edible Vaccine.
• Prolonged Shelf Life With Good Quality.
• Phytoremediation.
• Introduce Antifreeze Gene.
Why We Biotechnologist ???

15. • GM crop technology may possibly be helpful to
increase productivity in agriculture and in reducing
seasonal fluctuations in agricultural productions
• But GMOs can contribute in the sustainable growth
in agricultural sector.
• More public support is necessary for the
development of biotechnology as well as GM crop
technology all around the world.
