| Summary: | As we are facing global population
development, strategies are required to improve
agricultural production in the battle against
hunger and poverty. Agricultural biotechnology
provides a powerful method in combination of
conventional breeding, new innovations and
enhanced management of resources which
improves the productivity of livestock,
aquaculture, and crops. After the finding of RNA
interference (RNAi), researchers have made
considerable growth in improving this
remarkable crop especially in defence
technology. RNA interference is a vital plant
growth, development and reaction regulator to
various types of stresses. This technology
leads to higher efficiency and potency of gene
silencing, thus becoming the highly promising
technology for crop improvements at a rapid
rate with some advantages. Nowadays, RNAi
has been widely used for the improvement in
agricultural biotechnology and seems to be
applicable and commercialized in other fields
too. |
