Dr. Bohanec answers the most frequently asked questions and claims related smithfield packing company inc to GMOs
Author: Dr. Minister Bohanec, lecturer in courses in the field of plant breeding and plant biotechnology scientist and Professor and Associate Dean of the Department of Agronomy, Biotechnical Faculty, University of Ljubljana. Suitable for lightning politicians, environmentalists and self-proclaimed ringleader of organic farming. On Twitter you can find it under the @ BorutBohanec.
1 What are the genetic transformation and what are genetically modified smithfield packing company inc organisms (hereinafter GMOs)? 2 GMOs do not help us to a better life. 3 Is genetically modified food safe? 4 Or GM food is patented? 5 "Super SmartStax corn", which comes to us, what is this? 6 Science're on the safety of GM food is not uniform. 7 Corporations just for profit. 8 Or because GM assortment pesticide use is increasing? 9 I am an advocate / ca locally produced. smithfield packing company inc 10 Or GM varieties really smithfield packing company inc cause allergies? 11 GM crops impossible to produce organic food. 12 Should I buy dairy products labeled "No GMO"?
Of all the methods of breeding is as controversial represents only breeding techniques, which we call transgenesis. Its product is the so-called "genetically modified organisms" (GMOs). The term GMO think of organisms that have been genetically engineered with the procedure smithfield packing company inc added gene, which is the source may be from the same or other species. Gene was previously isolated from species of the donor, his DNA was usually prepared so as to be in the receiving organism (eg agricultural plants) expressed. In the event that the entire gene sequence identical donors, we are talking about cisgenezi, such as the gene which, in exactly the same form move from potato wild relatives of potatoes to it, for example caused resistance to disease. Common, however, is transgenesis, hence the word transformation. In this case, the genes are made up of several distinct elements: a promoter (which controls the expression of the gene, for example, it is expressed in all the cells, permanently or only in a certain smithfield packing company inc tissue, and at the appropriate stimulus), structural gene (which encodes a protein, or to initiate recording of an vtišanja smithfield packing company inc drugege gene) and terminator (this tells you when to cease transcribed gene). I know it sounds complicated, but it is right that we know that we all genes of all living organisms smithfield packing company inc composed in the same way as just described. A major innovation of genetic transformation in comparison with other methods of plant certainly is that genes are extracted from all living organisms, or even a synthetic composition. Although creating the impression that it is a new technology that actually has long been no longer the case. Basic methods have been known for several decades and are used both in the production smithfield packing company inc of enzymes as drugs for decades. As controversial method actually smithfield packing company inc refers only to food.
"I would rather eat what good old tomato", I read one morning. Who would not, I agree. Just how many of us know, however, that the "good old tomato" as we know it now, albeit good, old but certainly NOT operator. From where did tomatoes originate? It was discovered by the Central American Indians. The Italians call it pomodoro (golden apple) because it was in the 16th century, but yellow. And today certainly would not be the number one vegetable if he during the last hundred years would not have built dozens of genes from related species to him. Only with such a "chromosomal engineering" has become resistant to many diseases, has a different composition of acids and sugars, smithfield packing company inc and many other features. Like other species of the family Solanaceae leaves also contain powerful toxins, their quantity can be genetic changes alter course and now smaller than before.
Breeding has created a completely new variety, ranging from miniature to giant. Gardeners spend with a little less tional varieties, smithfield packing company inc larger growers but has long been cultivated tomato hybrids, smithfield packing company inc even if such seed is ten times more expensive. Tomato as we know it today, is a little more natural. That is why it is so good. Today, we know hundreds of varieties that suit all tastes and needs. And yet he was also the first tomatoes in the United States released the SG series. The modified gene, which enabled him much slower softening. You rip ripe and shriveled smithfield packing company inc just a few weeks. These features, of course, no other existing varieties. He was also a big hit, however, when it was sold canned in England, they could not produce enough to meet demand. All the articles on Frankenštajnski food which triggered the campaign against GM varieties and forced the shopkeepers to remove the tomatoes from the shelves.
Fear of the new, at least for food, no novelty. Here for example, you can read how people were afraid of potatoes, the same is true even of many new species. As well as by many of the innovations are just difficult to grasp. Did you know for example that in the years 1861-1896 in England applicable law (op. Red Flag Acts), who asked to cars outside of the village should not drive faster than 6 km / h, before the car must tread a man with a red flag and trumpet in hand? What is heard
