Reporter Genes and Plant Transformation Plant transformation is a fundamental aspect of modern agricultural biotechnology, allowing scientists to incorporate new traits into plants, such as enhanced yields, pest resistance, and tolerance to environmental stress. A crucial component of this process is the use of reporter genes, which enable researchers to confirm and visualize successful genetic
Jackfruit Farming Jackfruit farming offers a profitable long-term agricultural opportunity, though it requires significant initial investment and patience. The first-year setup costs, including land preparation, saplings, irrigation, and labor, total approximately NRs. 298,900 per acre, with annual maintenance costs averaging NRs. 75,000 from the second year onward. While the first six years may result in
Jackfruit Cultivation Jackfruit cultivation is a rewarding endeavor, as jackfruit, popularly known as “poor man’s food,” is a highly nutritious fruit rich in vitamins A and C, carbohydrates, and essential minerals. Versatile fruit is used in various culinary applications, with immature tender fruits and seeds of ripe fruits being cooked, while ripe fruits are enjoyed
