(i) Enhancement of plant resistance: Food producing plants are enhanced in resistance against harmful insects and pests.
(ii) Quality improvement: Increasing the quantity and quality of cattle meat, milk, eggs.
(iii) Diagnosis of Plant Diseases: Diagnosing and prevention of various plant diseases is being done. Disease diagnosis and prevention of plants like paddy, wheat, sugarcane, bhutra, mango, yam, jackfruit, litchi etc. have been provided.
(iv) Stress resistance: Genes for plant disease resistance, pest resistance and survival in adverse environments are being searched for. E.g. Bt toxin gene CrylAC and saline tolerance gene CPDH 45.
(v) Generation of new traits: Searching for genes with improved traits and successfully using them for improving plant quality.
(vi) Breeding in wild animals: DNA sequencing techniques are being applied in breeding wild animals like tigers, lions, elephants etc.
(vii) Unveiling the life secret of jute: Bangladeshi scientist Dr. Maqsudul Alam and his colleagues have uncovered the secret of jute’s life by sequencing the genome of Tosha jute (Corchorus olitorius). 120 crores of base pairs of jute. The order in which they are arranged is known. 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.
(viii) RNAi method: Genome sequencing of Mugdal yellow mosaic virus has been done in Bangladesh. Disease resistant cultivars have been developed using RNAi methods.
(ix) Disease resistant tomato: Genome sequencing of ToLCV virus causing leaf curl disease of tomato has been done. Disease resistant cultivars have been developed using the ToLCV method.
