Determine whether the production of GMO products is ethical based on what you know about the hazards of these items. What are the advantages and disadvantages of using genetic engineering in food production? What are the major...
2. Concepts and evolution of studies in plant-microbiomes 3. Methodologies used in the study of plant microbiomes 4. Microbial niches in plants 5. Factors that alter the structure of microbiomes (composition, wealth and abundance) 6. Benefits of microbiomes for plants 7. State of the art ...
Genetic Engineering in Plants Genetic engineering in plants can improve food production and is used in agriculture. The potential uses of altering the genetic makeup of plants include: Improved resilience to disease Increased growth rate Production of pharmaceuticals ...
Vegetables are the major protective food in our diet, and besides providing essential nutrients, they are also the reservoirs of bioactive compounds. Bioactive compounds are the secondary metabolites that have an effect on living organisms and impart man
As the global climate changes, periods of abiotic stress throughout the North American cranberry growing regions will become more common. One consequence of high temperature extremes and drought conditions is sunscald. Scalding damages the developing ber
Thanks to the rich vitamins, minerals, and fibers they contain, these occupy an important place in the food sector. In addition, due to their many functional properties, they also play important roles in various industrial processes such as manufacturing, agriculture, and purification (3-5). It...
The same applies to cloning, which is really just the other side of the coin; true cloning, as first shown with the sheep Dolly two years ago, involves taking a developed cell and reactivating the genome within, resetting its developmental instructions to a pristine state. Once that happens,...
Of all human technologies,recombinant DNAhas arguably been one of the safest. There have been multiple benefits in both medicine and agriculture. And the legitimate concerns that arose when viruses were first mixed with bacterial genes, whencloningwas first introduced, and when stem cells were devel...
