Biotechnology is the most prominent and rapidly growing segment of the biological sciences that is making its diversified application in sustainable agriculture. Biofertilizers, biopesticides, bioherbicides, bioinsecticides, and many of the other fungal based and viral based insecticides, obtained using microorganisms, are some of the outcomes of biotechnology playing a key role in sustainable agriculture. Many of other important food products are also obtained by microbial fermentation. Different microbes are added to get the desired effect of food at the specific stages of food production process. Pharmaceutical microbiology includes the manufacturing of different pharmaceutical and medicinal products. This review article has a wide overview of microbes mainly used in agriculture, food industries, and pharmaceutical industries.
Soybean Mosaic Disease (SMD) is one of the most serious, devastating, and widespread diseases of Glycine max (L.) Merry. caused by Soybean Mosaic Virus (SMV). It is more prevalent in low-lying and warm areas of soybean cultivation. SMV is also associated with severe mosaic, epinasty, and premature death of Passiflora spp. By soybean (Glycine max) seed, the transmission of soybean mosaic virus is at very rear chances. The studies and investigations made in the field of resolving the issues of transmission of soybean mosaic virus suggest that infected seed plays a vital role in disease transmission, but still there are no proper investigations to study the roles of several factors that may influence the SMV seed transmission. These are virus classification, virus transmission and establishment, symptoms of damage, electron microscopy, viral morphology, and control, which have been reviewed in this review article from currently available sources.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
