Potato is one of the most widely consumed plant foods by humans, but it has low levels of essential nutrients such as beta carotene (provitamin A) and vitamin E. Thus, the researchers used genetic engineering to boost provitamin A carotenoids and xanthophylls in potato, then studied the bioaccessibility of the nutrients in boiled wild type and ...
Nov 22, 2017 · Living where food is abundant, most people don’t really grasp how GMOs touch their lives. “It’s that distance that consumers are removed from agriculture that creates the fear,” says Ronald.

Dec 19, 2012 · Genetic modification is a special set of gene technology that alters the genetic machinery of such living organisms as animals, plants or microorganisms. Combining genes from different organisms is known as recombinant DNA technology and the resulting organism is said to be ‘Genetically modified (GM)’, ‘Genetically engineered’ or ‘Transgenic’. The principal transgenic crops grown ...
Productivity of GM Crops. GM seed companies promised to raise productivity and profitability levels for farmers around the world (Pinstrup-Andersen, 1999).GM seed companies had expected GM crops to be adopted by farmers because the traits they were incorporating provided direct operational benefits for farmers that could be linked to increased profits for farmers (Hatfield et al., 2014).
