Agricultural biotechnology

Agricultural biotechnology, also known as agritech, is an area of agricultural science involving the use of scientific tools and techniques, including genetic engineering, molecular markers, molecular diagnostics, vaccines, and tissue culture, to modify living organisms: plants, animals, and microorganisms.

See Sampa Das and Agricultural biotechnology

Antimicrobial resistance

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) occurs when microbes evolve mechanisms that protect them from the effects of antimicrobials (drugs used to treat infections).

See Sampa Das and Antimicrobial resistance

Biotechnology

Biotechnology is a multidisciplinary field that involves the integration of natural sciences and engineering sciences in order to achieve the application of organisms and parts thereof for products and services.

See Sampa Das and Biotechnology

Bose Institute

Bose Institute (or Basu Bigyan Mandir) is a premier public research institute of India and also one of its oldest.

See Sampa Das and Bose Institute

Chickpea

The chickpea or chick pea (Cicer arietinum) is an annual legume of the family Fabaceae, subfamily Faboideae.

Friedrich Miescher Institute for Biomedical Research

The Friedrich Miescher Institute for Biomedical Research (FMI) is a biomedical research institute founded in 1970.

Gene expression

Gene expression is the process by which information from a gene is used in the synthesis of a functional gene product that enables it to produce end products, proteins or non-coding RNA, and ultimately affect a phenotype.

See Sampa Das and Gene expression

Genetic isolate

A genetic isolate is a population of organisms that has little to no genetic mixing with other organisms of the same species due to geographic isolation or other factors that prevent reproduction.

See Sampa Das and Genetic isolate

Genetic transformation

In molecular biology and genetics, transformation is the genetic alteration of a cell resulting from the direct uptake and incorporation of exogenous genetic material from its surroundings through the cell membrane(s).

See Sampa Das and Genetic transformation

Genetically modified crops

Genetically modified crops (GM crops) are plants used in agriculture, the DNA of which has been modified using genetic engineering methods.

See Sampa Das and Genetically modified crops

Indian National Science Academy

The Indian National Science Academy (INSA) is a national academy in New Delhi for Indian scientists in all branches of science and technology.

Insecticide

Insecticides are pesticides used to kill insects.

See Sampa Das and Insecticide

Kolkata

Kolkata, formerly known as Calcutta (its official name until 2001), is the capital and largest city of the Indian state of West Bengal.

See Sampa Das and Kolkata

Lectin

Lectins are carbohydrate-binding proteins that are highly specific for sugar groups that are part of other molecules, so cause agglutination of particular cells or precipitation of glycoconjugates and polysaccharides.

See Sampa Das and Lectin

Mung bean

The mung bean (Vigna radiata), alternatively known as green gram, mungo bean or mongo bean, is a plant species in the legume family.

See Sampa Das and Mung bean

National Academy of Sciences

The National Academy of Sciences (NAS) is a United States nonprofit, non-governmental organization.

See Sampa Das and National Academy of Sciences

Plant defense against herbivory

Plant defense against herbivory or host-plant resistance (HPR) is a range of adaptations evolved by plants which improve their survival and reproduction by reducing the impact of herbivores.

See Sampa Das and Plant defense against herbivory

Scientist

A scientist is a person who researches to advance knowledge in an area of the natural sciences.

See Sampa Das and Scientist

Transfer DNA

The transfer DNA (abbreviated T-DNA) is the transferred DNA of the tumor-inducing (Ti) plasmid of some species of bacteria such as Agrobacterium tumefaciens and Agrobacterium rhizogenes (actually an Ri plasmid).
