Green biotechnology uses genetic engineering techniques to develop more sustainable agricultural processes. It aims to increase food security, reduce environmental impacts, and tackle climate change issues. Key applications include plant tissue culture, marker-assisted breeding, genetic engineering, biofertilizers and biopesticides, and using plants for bioenergy. Examples of green biotechnology products are Bt cotton, which produces a toxin that kills pests, and hybrid corn varieties. In the future, green biotechnology could further increase global food production to feed a growing population, improve crop traits like drought tolerance, and enhance foods with added nutrients in a safer way than conventional methods.
WHAT IS GREEN BIOTECHNOLOGY?
• Biotechnology can be defined as any technological application that uses biological systems , living microorganisms or derivatives , they are of to make or modify products or process for specific use.
• It is commonly known as PLANT BIOTECHNOLOGY , which is applied to agricultural process produce more environmental friendly solutions , which are alternative to traditional industrial agriculture.
• It is defined as the application of biological techniques to plant with the aim of improving the nutritional quality , quantity and production economics.
• The most recent application of biotechnology in respect to this area is GENETIC MODIFICATION also known as genetic engineering , genetic manipulation , gene technology or rDNA technology.
WHO INTRODUCED?
• The first agricultural biotechnology product developed for human use was the FLAVER SAVER TOMATO , produced in the year 1987 by Calgene of Davis , C alifornia.
AIM:
• Tackle food security issues.
• Plants for fuels.
• Reduce the environmental issues.
APPLICATIONS OF GREEN BIOTECHNOLOGY:
i. Plant tissue culture (also micropropagation ):
A technique to produce whole plant from a minute piece of plant like the meristem , root or even just a single cell under laboratory condition. Eg . crops produced using tissue culture include bananas , coffee etc.
ii. Plant molecular markers :
A technique uses molecular markers to select a specific plants that possess a desirable gene. Eg . IITA used this markers to obtain a cowpea resistant to beetle.
iii. Plant genetic engineering:
The selective and transfer of beneficial gene(s) from one to another to create new improved crops. Eg. Cotton , sweet potato and includes bacterial resistance in rice , cassava and banana and submergeic tolerance in rice.
iv. Biofertilizers and biopesticides :
Farmers uses this to reap more benefits and avoid the chemical pesticides having pollutants . 10% of India’s pollution is saved through the use of biofertilizers.
v. Hybridization:
Scientists exploits the fact that some offspring from the progeny of a cross between 2 known parents would be better than the parents . Eg. Hybrid corns.
BT cotton: some BT companies are using the soil bacterium Bacillus thuringenesis (BT) to produce a BT- toxin gene to splice into cotton, the toxin eats into the gut of pest

Biotechnology and its applications
Introduction:
Biotechnology is the broad area of biology, involving living systems and organisms to develop or make products, or "any technological application that uses biological systems, living organisms, or derivatives thereof, to make or modify products or processes for specific use“.
Depending on the tools and applications, it often overlaps with the (related) fields of molecular biology, bio-engineering, biomedical engineering, biomanufacturing, molecular engineering, etc.
The wide concept of "biotech" or "biotechnology" encompasses a wide range of procedures for modifying living organisms according to human purposes, going back to domestication of animals, cultivation of the plants, and "improvements" to these through breeding programs that employ artificial selection and hybridization. Modern usage also includes genetic engineering as well as cell and tissue culture technologies.
Its Applications:
Biotechnology has applications in four major industrial areas,
Food Industry
Health and Medicine
Agriculture
Industrial And Environmental
The three important techniques of biotechnology are: (1) Recombinant DNA Technology (Genetic Engineering) (2) Plant Tissue Culture and (3) Transgenic (Genetically Modified Organisms).

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
