Sign In Question: Application of biotechnology to plants to improve the nutritional quality, quantity and production of eco-friendly products, is termed as:
Green Biotechnology
→ Green biotechnology is defined as the application of plants and other photosynthetic organisms with the aim to improve agricultural crops.
→ It is for industrial purposes in order to generate industrially useful products in sectors such as detergents, paper, biofuels, textiles, pharmaceutical substances, etc.
→ The course covers the molecular biology of the plant cell and focuses on biotechnology applied to photosynthetic organisms.
→ The biotechnologies presented during the course are based on functional genomics and proteomics.
→ Plant breeding (e.g., marker-assisted selection) and quantitative genetics, genetically modified plants, phytoremediation, and the utilization of bioactive compounds will be discussed.
→ Moreover, the course will discuss the role of plants in the industry, for example, how plants can be used to develop new products and eco-technology.
→ The theoretical part of the course will be followed by a practical part where up-to-date methodology within biotechnology will be used.
