1. In the 1970s, the first tissue culture of jute was done in the Department of Botany, Dhaka University. Then various universities and research institutes started tissue culture.
2. Dhaka University scientists have developed varieties of salt tolerant rice, cold tolerant jute and insect resistant pulses using molecular markers.
3. ICDDR, B produced the Sigella vaccine through biotechnology.
4. Bangladesh Animal Research Institute has developed some vaccines against plague and spring disease in goats and cattle and poultry.
5. The Ministry of Fisheries and Animal Resources has produced vaccines for bovine foot and mouth disease and anthrax, fowl cholera and Salmonella Newcastle disease.
6. Bangladesh Fisheries Research Institute has developed molecular production of endangered species of fish, carp, catfish, tilapia, magur, punti and GIFT fish varieties.
7. Bangladesh Agricultural University, National Institute of Biotechnology and Bangladesh Livestock Research Institute are conducting research on finger print and microsatellite genotyping methods. It verifies the pedigree of indigenous breeds of goats, sheep, cows and buffaloes.
8. Bangladesh Atomic Energy Commission has developed strategies to increase silk production and control fruit flies and Aedes mosquitoes using low levels of gamma radiation. Improved IPM systems using hormones and pheromone traps.
9. The Department of Biotechnology of Dhaka University has developed a strategy to control the moth national pest.
10. Bangladesh National Council of Science and Industrial Research has developed techniques for disease identification of various crops, fruits, forest medicinal plants using modern molecular technology.
11. In 2010 Dr. Bangladeshi scientists led by Maksudul Alam discovered the genomic sequence of jute. As a result, it will be possible to develop fine fiber jute, strong fiber jute like cotton, winter jute, medicinal jute, easily degradable jute, insect repellent jute etc.
12. In 2018, Bangladeshi scientists living in America discovered the genomic sequence of Hilsa fish.
