Biotechnology and Its Applications

Agriculture

The practice of cultivation of the soil, production of crops, and raising livestock by the application of the knowledge of science and art is referred to as agriculture. It also involves the marketing and preparation of the products formed through it. This process involves the use of various machines, manures, and fertilizers for proper cultivation. […]

Bile

Bile is a dark greenish-yellow material that aids in the breakdown of lipids, particularly fat, into fatty acids. It is typically alkaline in nature.Bile is made up of a variety of substances, including bile salts, cholesterol, water, colours such as bilirubin, body salts, and metals.Bile aids in the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins as well as

Biopesticides

Pesticides with a biological origin are known as biopesticides. It encompasses all pest-controlling natural products and organisms.  Plants, animals, microbes, fungus, bacteria, nematodes, and other species produce biopesticides. Biopesticides primarily operate on pests rather than altering plant physiology or providing nutrition.  Bacteria, fungi, viruses, compounds originating from plants, such as neem oil, or genetically engineered

Economic Importance of Fungi

Fungi are made up of hundreds of different species, all of which are extremely valuable to mankind in terms of economics. As a matter of fact, our lives are intricately intertwined with the lives of fungi. Few days go by when we are not either benefited or injured by these species, either directly or indirectly.

Economic Importance of Fruits

Fruit farming is one of the most important and long-standing traditions in India, having been done before the beginning of time. The cultivation of fruit crops has a significant impact on the overall well-being of humans and the state of the nation. The production of fruits and the consumption of fruits per capita in a

Digestion

Introduction: During digestion, large insoluble food molecules are broken down into smaller water-soluble food molecules, allowing them to be absorbed into the blood’s watery plasma. Certain creatures ingest these tiny chemicals into their bloodstream via the small intestine. This is a type of catabolism that is frequently separated into two processes: mechanical and chemical digestion,

Difference Between Fertilisers and Manure

Farmers use fertilisers as a way to boost their crop’s production. In addition to crop losses, abuse of these pesticides might result in a loss of cash. In impoverished nations, farmers are often unaware of the impact of fertilisers. The crop’s major supply of nutrients, such as minerals, can be found in the soil itself.

Cytokinins in Humans

The CK signal is recognised by histidine kinases that are found in the membrane of the cell and conveyed by a two-component system (TCS) that is unique to plants and is found only in higher eukaryotes. Numerous plant-interacting microorganisms, including pathogenic and non-pathogenic bacteria, fungi, nematodes, and animal pathogens such as Mycobacterium tuberculosis, have been

Crops

In agriculture, a crop is a plant or plant product that may be produced and harvested in large quantities for profit or sustenance. Crops are classified into six types based on their use: food crops for human consumption (e.g., wheat, potatoes); feed crops for livestock consumption (e.g., oats, alfalfa); fibre crops for cordage and textiles
