Biotechnology and Conservation of Plant Biodiversity
Advances in plant biotechnology provide new options for collection, multiplication and shortto long-term conservation of plant biodiversity, using in vitro culture techniques. Significant progress has been made for conserving endangered, rare, crop ornamental, medicinal and forest species, especially for non-orthodox seed and vegetatively propagated plants of temperate and tropical origin. Cell...
متن کامل[Biodiversity biotechnology and health].
This article presents the significance of biodiversity, biotechnology and health and discusses many aspects of biological and environmental problems as well as the ethical dilemma related to expansion and exploitation of natural resources, which promoted a decline in biological diversity. In addition, knowledge of biodiversity has allowed for identification and use of new natural resources, use...
متن کاملBiodiversity, Biotechnology and the Environment
The widespread use of genetically modified crops has precipitated acrimonious debate on the health effects, environmental safety, and ethics of genetically modified agricultural species. The debate is contentious, often with unsubstantiated claims of both potentially harmful and beneficial effects. Here we examine the possible effects of GM agriculture on issues of the environment and biodivers...
متن کاملWilderness and biodiversity conservation.
Human pressure threatens many species and ecosystems, so conservation efforts necessarily prioritize saving them. However, conservation should clearly be proactive wherever possible. In this article, we assess the biodiversity conservation value, and specifically the irreplaceability in terms of species endemism, of those of the planet's ecosystems that remain intact. We find that 24 wilderness...
متن کاملCyanobacterial biodiversity and potential applications in biotechnology
Cyanobacteria (also known as blue–green algae) are a group of extraordinarily diverse Gram-negative prokaryotes that originated 3.5 billion years ago. Their diversity ranges from unicellular to multicellular, coccoid to branched filaments, nearly colourless to intensely pigmented, autotrophic to heterotrophic, psychrophilic to thermophilic, acidophilic to alkylophilic, planktonic to barophilic,...
