Bioactive spray could be an alternative to genetically modified crops

Although genetically modified crops have some big advantages over their regular counterparts, initially creating the modified plants can be quite challenging. Scientists have now developed a simpler approach, in which normal plants are altered with a spray that's applied to crops.

CROPSR: A New Tool for Speeding up Genetic Research in Crops

Crop genomes are fine-tuned over generations of breeding to improve certain features, and until recently, breeders had to rely on naturally occurring variety for selection. Although CRISPR/Cas9 gene-editing technology has the potential to change this, the software tools required for designing and analyzing CRISPR experiments have so far been developed for editing in mammalian genomes, which do not share the same properties as complex crop genomes.

Soil Health Institute to Examine Genetics as Carbon Indicator

The work will utilize metagenomic and carbon data collected as part of the North American Project to Evaluate Soil Health Measurements. Metagenomics is the examination of genetic material outside of the environment.

[Download this page as a PDF] [See also: GMO Myths in Africa] 1. Biotechnology, genetic modication, genetic engineering and GMOs are terms for essentially the same process: breeding crops and livestock to have certain desirable traits. 2. GMOs are safe. Every major scientic body in the world agrees that GMO foods are just as safe […]
