Biotechnology 5th-semester students. Dr. Soumitra Paul, Assistant Professor, Department of Botany, University of Calcutta, delivered an insightful session on genetic engineering and genome-editing technologies in modern crop improvement. The seminar covered recombinant DNA technology, transgenic crops, gene silencing, and CRISPR-Cas-based genome editing, along with their applications in improving crop nutrition, productivity, pest resistance, and stress tolerance. Students also gained awareness of biosafety, environmental, ethical, and regulatory considerations associated with genetic technologies. The session helped bridge theoretical biotechnology concepts with real-world agricultural challenges and encouraged students to explore research and innovative approaches for developing sustainable, climate-resilient, and food-secure crops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-content-justification-center is-nowrap is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-d05cb3ef wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"125\" height=\"125\" src=\"https:\/\/www.brainwareuniversity.ac.in\/news-events\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/2-zero-hunger.webp\" alt=\"SDG-02\" class=\"wp-image-152\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"125\" height=\"125\" src=\"https:\/\/www.brainwareuniversity.ac.in\/news-events\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/3-health-weelbeing.webp\" alt=\"SDG-03\" class=\"wp-image-153\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"125\" height=\"125\" src=\"https:\/\/www.brainwareuniversity.ac.in\/news-events\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/13-climate-action.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-162\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"125\" height=\"125\" src=\"https:\/\/www.brainwareuniversity.ac.in\/news-events\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/15-life-on-land.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-164\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Seeds of Innovation: Rewriting the Genetic Code of Tomorrow\u2019s Crops Biotechnology &amp; IIC 11-09-2026 The Department of Biotechnology organised a seminar titled \u201cSeeds of Innovation: Rewriting the Genetic Code of Tomorrow\u2019s Crops\u201d for B.Sc. and B.Tech.
