Notes on Genetically Modified Crops (GM) | Biotechnology
Article shared by :
The below mentioned article provides notes on genetically modified crops (GM). When potential risks to the environment from new genetically modified (GM) crops are discussed, the focus is generally on risks of genes escaping to wild relatives that become “super-weeds,” risks of crops themselves becoming weeds, and the potential that toxins produced by the GM […]
Notes on Traditional Plant Breeding | Biotechnology
Article shared by :
The below mentioned article provides notes on traditional plant breeding. When crossing two plants using traditional breeding techniques, breeders mix thousands of genes in order to transfer the protein products to enhance one or a few genetic traits. Therefore, the odds of something —such as a naturally occurring toxin —being transferred unintentionally are far greater […]
