Learn about the comparison between Gene Technology and Traditional Breeding.
Comparison # Gene Technology:
1. Gene technology is not involved in sexual process for gene transfer
2. Direct single gene transfer is possible in gene technology
3. In gene technology gene transfer between unrelated organisms possible
4. Transgene is involved in gene technology
5. Very high technical skill is required in gene technology
6. Sophisticated laboratory is required in gene technology
7. Initial cost of infra-structure is very high in gene technology
8. In gene technology very high accuracy method is required
9. Gene technology takes 4-5 years for release of new cultivar
10. Transgenic cultivar is the end product of gene technology
11. Natural gene flow is not possible in gene technology
12. In gene technology evolution of super weeds is possible
13. Organic farming of end product is not permitted in gene technology
14. In gene technology biosafety measures are required
15. In gene technology bioethical measures are required.
Comparison # Traditional Breeding:
1. Traditional breeding is involved in sexual process for gene transfer
2. Direct single gene transfer is not possible in traditional breeding
3. In traditional breeding gene transfer between unrelated organisms is not possible
4. Transgene is not involved in traditional breeding
5. Moderate technical skill is required in traditional breeding
6. Ordinary laboratory is required in traditional breeding
7. Initial cost of infra-structure is low in traditional breeding
8. In traditional breeding medium to high accuracy method is required
9. Traditional breeding takes 10-12 years for release of new cultivar
10. Non-transgenic cultivar is the end product of traditional breeding
11. Natural gene flow is possible in traditional breeding
12. In traditional breeding evolution of super weeds is not possible
13. Organic farming of end product is permitted in traditional breeding
14. In traditional breeding biosafety measures are not required
15. In traditional breeding bioethical measures are not required.
