Study shows disadvantages of GM foods to human health British scientific researchers demonstrated that genetically modified DNA from crops can find its way into human gut bacteria, raising possible health concerns. This is because antibiotic-resistant marker genes are inserted with GM material, which could cause a person to be resistant to antibiotic medicines. The study was conducted at Newcastle University on seven human volunteers who, in the past, had their lower intestine removed and now use colostomy bags. After eating a burger containing GM soy, researchers compared their stools with 12 people with normal stomachs. They found 'to their surprise' that 'a relatively large proportion of...

No, I do not think so because most of the populations live in rural areas and they speak and write in their mother tongue. It is true that in cities particularly metro cities the persons speak in English being comfortable in this language.But at home...

Manoj...... amazing debate....... Yes nowadays we are losing our mother tongue. Especially the children, they speak only English and hesitates to speak their mother tongue. This is all the parents fault who don't teach them their mother tongue....

Recombinant Proteins produced in Genetically Engineered Crops Suresh Chand Kaushik Indian Agricultural Research Institute New Delhi – 110 012 Before the advent of recombinant protein expression system, a desired protein either for pharmaceutical or industrial purposes has been isolated from the original source in its native tissue or organism. The protein is intracellularly processed to its native conformation. The material is in limited supply and can be expensive to obtain and maintain. So cost is the limiting factor in the sale of proteins from their source. Later on, a number of systems such as bacteria, yeast, fungi insect cells, mammalian cells have been developed and optimize...

Gene Revolution: Need to adopt Transgenic Technology in 21 st Century The burgeoning global population and declining arable land necessitate sustainable food production systems and environmental conservation, especially in the developing countries. The world population tripled to six billion in the last century. The increased food production required to sustain this dramatic increase was met by the skills of plant breeders and farmers, mechanization and technogical innovation by the agrochemical industry. The vast majority of the three billion increase will occur in the developing countries of South East Asia and sub-Saharan Africa which are increasingly dependent upon imported food To m...

Plant Genetic Engineering Plant genetic engineering is the artificial alteration of the genetic composition (the 'genome') of plant cell. Advancement made in recent years in the area of recombinant DNA technology have provided an altogether new dimension to agricultural research. It is now possible to harness genes of economic importance form sexually incompatible wide and weedy relatives of crop plants and from related and unrelated species and phyla. This has created a situation where the whole biological world is now being considered as a ' single gene pool'. The expectation are that in near future...

New Green Revolution to Increase Food Production Using biotechnology, scientists are working to unlock the potential of plants to produce crops in environments that are adversely affected by pests, drought, disease, poor soil or growing conditions. According to the International Service for the Acquisition of Agri-Biotech Applications (ISAAA), last year 8.5 million farmers - almost 8 million of which are considered “subsistence” farmers, planted over 200 million acres of genetically modified crops in 21 countries. Genetically modified crops currently being cultivated include cotton, papaya, soybeans and cassava. The “Green Revolution” of the 1960s relied on upfront investments by farmers ...

It’s getting tougher and tougher to find safety. Saftey in terms of getting all that we want, Right now i am only talking about the basic requirements like Food etc. This sector is getting hit. Formerly high flying overseas are giving back some of their handsome gains. Even with Oil prices hitting $100 a barrel again yesterday, the entire oil sector is off about 10% for the year. The bears have had their way. And, frankly, there aren’t too many drivers out there to help get things turned around. However, that doesn’t mean there aren’t opportunities; they’re just getting tougher to find. But as all of us have learned the hard way, if you’re not looking in the right place it can be almost imp...
