Performance Evaluation and Yield Stability Test of Released Food Barely (Hordeum Vulgare L.) Varieties in Highland Areas of Siltie and Gurage Zones
Abstract: Improved barley varieties under barley production were limited in study areas. Therefore, testing of food barley varieties including check over locations for their performance is of paramount important in identification of superior varieties for production. The experiments were conducted to identify high yielding and to determine the stability of the varieties, and specifically and widely adapted food barley varieties for the target areas. Combined analysis of variance showed highly significant …

Reverse Breeding: A New Method for Crop Improvement
Abstract: Reverse breeding makes use of genetic modification to facilitate breeding of F1 hybrids by suppression of meiotic recombination which starts with an elite heterozygous line and aims at the generation of homozygous parental lines and later original heterozygous line isconstituted. The technique allows breeders to produce a hybrid in much shorter time than the conventional methods. The objectives of reverse breeding are to provide alternative method for providing homozygous parental …

Societal and Ethical Issues in Industrial Biotechnology
Abstract: In this paper, an overview of the major societal and ethical concerns raised by industrial biotechnology are covered. We demonstrate that present societal and ethical challenges in industrial biotechnology revolve around five key themes: sustainability, naturalness, innovation pathways, risk management, and economic fairness. Disputed public opinions drive the public discussion on the appropriateness of modern industrial biotechnology in each of these areas.

Review on Outbreak of COVID-19 Variants
Abstract: With COVID-19, the world is during a pandemic and an emergency. This variety has been eluding detection for quite some time, but in recent months, a new variation known as Omicron has emerged. According to the report, scientists are becoming highly concerned about its rapid transmissibility, and there is concern because there is absence of trace of its origin or mutation. This paper provides a brief overview of the virus's …
