In the previous post, we discussed the Objectives of Plant Breeding. Where we discussed the importance of plant breeding in providing food security and higher economic benefits. The present-day crops are very different from their wild relatives. This change in phenotype, higher yields, adaptability and suitability is brought about by the plant breeding activities. Now […]

Objectives of Plant Breeding
Plant breeding is the process of intentionally manipulating plant genetics to create new and improved plant varieties with desired traits. This involves selecting and crossing plants with desirable characteristics, such as higher yields, resistance to pests and diseases, improved nutritional content, or adaptation to specific environmental conditions. The present post discusses the Objectives of Plant […]

What is Plant Introduction?
Plant introduction is the process of bringing plant species or varieties from one geographical location or ecological zone to another for the purpose of studying, evaluating, and potentially using them in agriculture, horticulture, or other industries. Plant introduction has been an important tool for plant breeding and crop improvement. It has allowed breeders to expand […]

Amino Acid Classification (Biochemistry Notes)
In the previous post, we discussed the Structure of Amino acids. There we have discussed the characteristics of amino acids and their ionic behavior. Here, we will discuss Classification of Amino Acids in Biochemistry. Amino acids are classified based on different criterions such as properties of R-group, nutrition, metabolic fate and charge. We will look […]
