Lab technicians testing leaf samples to establish whether specific genes are present following DNA extraction and amplification. If the desired gene is present, then the sample plant can be interbred with locally adapted varieties for increased crop yield and resilience. Biotechnology research and development is critical to the future of African agriculture. The development of plant varieties that can adapt to environmental conditions, that are high yielding, that are resistant to diseases, within a much shorter time compared to conventional breeding, is key. | |
