Download or read book Industrialization of Biology written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2015-06-29 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The tremendous progress in biology over the last half century - from Watson and Crick's elucidation of the structure of DNA to today's astonishing, rapid progress in the field of synthetic biology - has positioned us for significant innovation in chemical production. New bio-based chemicals, improved public health through improved drugs and diagnostics, and biofuels that reduce our dependency on oil are all results of research and innovation in the biological sciences. In the past decade, we have witnessed major advances made possible by biotechnology in areas such as rapid, low-cost DNA sequencing, metabolic engineering, and high-throughput screening. The manufacturing of chemicals using biological synthesis and engineering could expand even faster. A proactive strategy - implemented through the development of a technical roadmap similar to those that enabled sustained growth in the semiconductor industry and our explorations of space - is needed if we are to realize the widespread benefits of accelerating the industrialization of biology. Industrialization of Biology presents such a roadmap to achieve key technical milestones for chemical manufacturing through biological routes. This report examines the technical, economic, and societal factors that limit the adoption of bioprocessing in the chemical industry today and which, if surmounted, would markedly accelerate the advanced manufacturing of chemicals via industrial biotechnology. Working at the interface of synthetic chemistry, metabolic engineering, molecular biology, and synthetic biology, Industrialization of Biology identifies key technical goals for next-generation chemical manufacturing, then identifies the gaps in knowledge, tools, techniques, and systems required to meet those goals, and targets and timelines for achieving them. This report also considers the skills necessary to accomplish the roadmap goals, and what training opportunities are required to produce the cadre of skilled scientists and engineers needed.
Download or read book Biotechnology Around the World written by Ajit Pandya and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2015-08-25 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the slew of biotechnology related events and news of late, the common man's curiosity and interest in a simple technical analysis of biotechnology have been sufficiently whetted. The ball was set in motion with the completion of the Human Genome Project in 2000. This was followed concurrently by other technological and on-the-ground developments such as the commercialization and cultivation of Genetically Modified (GM) crops. Global Scenario: According to a research report by Ernst & Young titled Beyond Borders 2002, the global biotech industry comprised of 4,284 companies (622 public; 3,6662 private) in 25 nations. The 622 public companies have generated revenues of $35 bn, spent $16 bn on R&D and employed more than 188,000 people. US biotech companies roughly account for 70% of the total global revenues of biotech industry but other regions are growing at a fast pace too. Biotech sectors in Europe, Canada and the Asia-Pacific region have experienced significant growth in the number of companies due to advancements in technologies, which are mining their way from research labs to full fledged commercialized enterprises. It was estimated that by 2005, the European biotech market could double to more than $100 bn. This growth has led the companies and experienced investors to look beyond the borders of their own countries in search of promising technologies, talented people and new markets. Biotech is an emerging sector in Asia-Pacific, which is experiencing considerable expansion in countries such as Australia, china, India and Singapore with the presence of around 500 biotech companies. Indian Biotech Industry: In the global biotech market, the current share of India is just about 2%; however, the future seems very bright as biotechnology is a fast emerging sector in the country. The Association of Biotech Led Enterprises (ABLE) pegs the Indian biotech market, including biosuppliers, Rs. 23.05 bn in the year 2002-03. The market size is estimated to be Rs. 18.30 bn if biosuppliers are excluded. The market is divided among the Bioindustrial, Bioservice, Bioagriculgture, Bioinformatics and Biosuppliers. Shantha Biotech was the first in India to launch an indigenous recombinant product called Shanvac-B (hepatitis-B vaccine) in 1997. Other players in this are included Biocon Bharat biotech, Bharat serums, Biological E Hlffkine Bio-Pharmaceutical, Panacea, Pfizer, Serum Institute of India, SmithKline Beecham and Wokhardt.

Download or read book Plant Biology and Biotechnology written by Bir Bahadur and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-06-19 with total page 780 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Plant genomics and biotechnology have recently made enormous strides, and hold the potential to benefit agriculture, the environment and various other dimensions of the human endeavor. It is no exaggeration to claim that the twenty-first century belongs to biotechnology. Knowledge generation in this field is growing at a frenetic pace, and keeping abreast of the latest advances and calls on us to double our efforts. Volume II of this two-part series addresses cutting-edge aspects of plant genomics and biotechnology. It includes 37 chapters contributed by over 70 researchers, each of which is an expert in his/her own field of research. Biotechnology has helped to solve many conundrums of plant life that had long remained a mystery to mankind. This volume opens with an exhaustive chapter on the role played by thale cress, Arabidopsis thaliana, which is believed to be the Drosophila of the plant kingdom and an invaluable model plant for understanding basic concepts in plant biology. This is followed by chapters on bioremediation, biofuels and biofertilizers through microalgal manipulation, making it a commercializable prospect; discerning finer details of biotic stress with plant-fungal interactions; and the dynamics of abiotic and biotic stresses, which also figure elsewhere in the book. Breeding crop plants for desirable traits has long been an endeavor of biotechnologists. The significance of molecular markers, marker assisted selection and techniques are covered in a dedicated chapter, as are comprehensive reviews on plant molecular biology, DNA fingerprinting techniques, genomic structure and functional genomics. A chapter dedicated to organellar genomes provides extensive information on this important aspect. Elsewhere in the book, the newly emerging area of epigenetics is presented as seen through the lens of biotechnology, showcasing the pivotal role of DNA methylation in effecting permanent and transient changes to the genome. Exclusive chapters deal with bioinformatics and systems biology. Handy tools for practical applications such as somatic embryogenesis and micropropagation are included to provide frontline information to entrepreneurs, as is a chapter on somaclonal variation. Overcoming barriers to sexual incompatibility has also long been a focus of biotechnology, and is addressed in chapters on wide hybridization and hybrid embryo rescue. Another area of accomplishing triploids through endosperm culture is included as a non-conventional breeding strategy. Secondary metabolite production through tissue cultures, which is of importance to industrial scientists, is also covered. Worldwide exchange of plant genetic material is currently an essential topic, as is conserving natural resources in situ. Chapters on in vitro conservation of extant, threatened and other valuable germplasms, gene banking and related issues are included, along with an extensive account of the biotechnology of spices – the low-volume, high-value crops. Metabolic engineering is another emerging field that provides commercial opportunities. As is well known, there is widespread concern over genetically modified crops among the public. GM crops are covered, as are genetic engineering strategies for combating biotic and abiotic stresses where no other solutions are in sight. RNAi- and micro RNA- based strategies for crop improvement have proved to offer novel alternatives to the existing non-conventional techniques, and detailed information on these aspects is also included. The book’s last five chapters are devoted to presenting the various aspects of environmental, marine, desert and rural biotechnology. The state-of-the-art coverage on a wide range of plant genomics and biotechnology topics will be of great interest to post-graduate students and researchers, including the employees of seed and biotechnology companies, and to instructors in the fields of plant genetics, breeding and biotechnology.
Download or read book Introduction of Biotechnology in India s Agriculture written by Vasant P. Gandhi and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-07-30 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Biotechnology can bring major breakthroughs in agriculture. The book examines the experience of introduction of biotechnology in Indian agriculture, specifically, examining the performance of Bt cotton versus non-Bt cotton across India’s major cotton states, namely Andhra Pradesh, Gujarat, Maharashtra and Tamil Nadu, which together account for nearly 70 percent of the country’s cotton production. Major advances in biotechnology have made it possible to directly identify genes, determine their functions, and transfer them from one organism to another. The advances have spawned many technologies and Bt cotton is one important outcome. Bt cotton has become one of the most widely cultivated transgenic crops and is currently grown in 21 countries - 11 developing and 10 industrialized countries. The Government of India was relatively late in permitting biotechnology, only approving the cultivation of three transgenic Bt cotton hybrids from April 2002. Many concerns were raised about their performance there was strong opposition from some quarters. In India, Gujarat and Maharastra were the first states to adopt them, followed by Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu and Madhya Pradesh. Based on a sample of 694 farming households, the book examines and analyzes the performance on the yields, pesticide costs, seed costs, overall production costs and profits. It also reports on the environmental impacts, satisfaction with the technology and ways of improving its performance.
