scientific and medical advice. That is what we are looking for from the work of this review group. " Barroso told EU leaders that food price rises had added " a new dimension " to the public debate about GM crops. He admitted people were worried about GM organisms in food and farming, but he said the EU was probably one of the biggest importers of GM feed as its livestock industry was highly de...

is also the opportunity to grow crops with industrial, neutraceutical (functional foods), and pharmaceutical Genetic modification (GM) of crops provides new crop manage(medical compounds) applications. Environmental benment options (production traits) and crops with industrial, pharmaceutical, and neutraceutical applications are likely to follow. The environefits and risks of GM plants have bee...

background: all the three nitric oxide synthase (nos) isoforms are presented in the kidney. some data provided evidences that enos activity leads to restoration of renal function after injury, but activation of inos aggravates renal failure. in the present study, we investigated that whether in gentamicin-induced renal failure selective inos blockade is beneficial. materials and methods: four g...

Initially, exploitation of interactions between plants and other organisms, particularly insect pests, foundered b...

Advanced applied research on genetically modified (hereafter GM) insects is being undertaken to control insect vectors of human diseases such as mosquitoes. GM technologies are developed in countries where there a legal framework for mosquitoes GMM), but the beneficiaries insect-borne most likely be malaria-endemic regulation inadequate. Although no commercial release GMM has been conducted Afr...

Since the advent over 30 years ago of recombinant DNA technologies giving rise to genetically engineered organisms (often called GMOs), gene escape from such transgenic organisms has been a consistent and legitimate concern. Initially, the fear of GM microbes escaping and wreaking ecological havoc on the biosphere generated both well funded scientific analyses of the actual threat, and fueled s...

Questions have been raised about the transparency and scientific quality of regulatory processes applied in the first open field releases of genetically modified (GM) insects, and there is concern that inappropriate precedents have been set [1], particularly through generic risk assessments covering multiple species and technologies [2]. The GM insects tested in the field so far are intended fo...

Biotechnology is diversifying rapidly through the development and application of new approaches to genome editing and ongoing research into synthetic biology. Proponents of biotechnology are enthusiastic about these new developments and have recently begun calling for environmental movements to abandon their campaigns against Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) and for organic agriculture to ...

lime, which, added in even so small an amount as 0 000426 gramme to a hundred cubic centimetres of water, kills all the micro-organisms within two hours. The bacteria appear to be acted upon much more promptly than the other organic matter present. For the removal of the excess of the agent the addition of sulphite of sodium (0 000209 gm.) suffices, and an excess of this substance up to 50 per ...
