Description
Crop improvement can be defined as
i. An art, a science, and technology of improving the genetic makeup of plants in relation to their economic use for the mankind.
ii. The art and science of improving the heredity of plants for the benefit of mankind.
iii. Science of changing and improving the heredity of plants
2. Genetics
The study of heredity and the variation of inherited characteristics, the science of genetics enables plant breeders to predict to varying extents the outcome of genetic manipulation of plants. The techniques and methods employed in breeding are determined based on the genetics of the trait of interest, regarding, for example, the number of genes coding for it and gene action. For example, the size of the segregating population to generate in order to have a chance of observing that unique plant with the desired combination of genes depends on the number of genes involved in the expression of the desired trait.

BIOCHEMISTRY
Polyurethanes are prepared from diisocyanates
and diols. Urethane (also called a carbamate) is a
functional group that contains both an ester and an
amide at a single carbonyl group.
Nucleophilic Addition Reaction: Example 1:
Sevin is a highly effective, biodegradable insecticide. It
affects the nervous systems of insects by blocking
access to the neurotransmitter acetylcholine.

PETROLEUM CHEMISTRY
Carbon is so Important in the Life Cycle. It has
numerous ways of bonding with many other
elements, particularly oxygen and hydrogen.
It can form both “organic” and “inorganic”
compounds. Organic compounds are considered
unstable in the biosphere because they are in the
reduced state.
Whereas Inorganic compounds, principally
calcite (CaCO3
) and dolomite (CaMg(CO3
)2
), are
stable because they are in the oxidized state.
Carbon is present in most substances that are
vital for the development of life (called
“biomolecules”): Proteins, lipids, sacharides, etc

BIOCHEMISTRY
Alkyl halides are organic molecules containing a halogen
atom bonded to an sp3 hybridized carbon atom.
• Alkyl halides are classified as primary (1°), secondary (2°),
or tertiary (3°), depending on the number of carbons bonded
to the carbon with the halogen atom.
• The halogen atom in halides is often denoted by the symbol
“X”.

Natural Gas
Natural gas is a gaseous fossil fuel consisting
primarily of methane but including significant
quantities of ethane, butane, propane, carbon
dioxide, nitrogen, helium and hydrogen sulfide.
Obtained from oil fields and natural gas fields,
and in coal beds.
Methane-rich gases are produced by the
anaerobic decay of non-fossil organic material, ie
biogas.
Total world production of natural gas in 1986
was 100 trillion m3
.
It is used as feed stock as well as fuel. It is
preferred due to its high Calorific Value
