Proteomic evaluation of genetically modified crops: current status and challenges
Hectares of genetically modified (GM) crops have increased exponentially since 1996, when such crops began to be commercialized. GM biotechnology, together with conventional breeding, has become the main approach to improving agronomic traits of crops. However, people are concerned about the safety of GM crops, especially GM-derived food and feed. Many efforts have been made to evaluate the uni...
متن کاملChallenges in detecting GM crops
GM crops represent the state of art technologies in modern Agriculture. The benefits of GM crops have been harvested all over the world to increase productivity while reducing dependence on chemical-intensive farming methods. However, since the technology has enormous impact on agriculture, concerns have been raised from time to time on the need for a careful assessment of biosafety, profitabil...
متن کاملCover Crops in Sustainable Food Production
Cover crops are important components of sustainable agricultural systems. They increase surface residue and aid in the reduction of soil erosion. They improve the structure and water-holding capacity of the soil and thus increase the effectiveness of applied N fertilizer. Legume cover crops such as hairy vetch and crimson clover fix nitrogen and contribute to the nitrogen requirements of subseq...
متن کاملIntegrated Tree Crops-ruminants Systems in South East Asia: Advances in Productivity Enhancement and Environmental Sustainability
Improved efficiency in the use of natural resources, pragmatic production systems and environmental sustainability, justified by the need for improved land use systems and increased productivity, are discussed in the context of Asian integrated systems, diversification, and issues of sustainability. The importance of these are reflected by serious inadequate animal protein production throughout...
متن کاملLegume Cover Crops and Nutrient Cycling in Tropical Fruit Tree Production
Legume cover crops have various important effects on nutrient cycling in tropical fruit tree production: they (i) fix atmospheric N2 and may amend the soil and trees with N, (ii) recycle nutrients, and (iii) affect soil nutrient availability. Aboveground N accumulation usually is very large in legume cover crops as seen from Pueraria phaseoloides being 8 to 14 times higher than in intercropped ...
