Aug 26, 2015 · Dr. Pustazai’s curriculum vitae is what afforded him a $3 million grant by the UK government to study GMOs. Dr. Pustazai was possibly the first, if not a primary scientist to point out that GM food was not at all substantially equivalent to non-GM foods. He also pointed out that the testing procedures employed by the UK, and incidentally ...
Only a few types of GMO crops are grown in the United States, but some of these GMOs make up a large percentage of the crop grown (e.g., soybeans, corn, sugar beets, canola, and cotton). In 2020 ...
Jan 10, 2022 · Since the first report on a CRISPR/Cas9-mediated genome editing in potato in 2015 (Wang et al., 2015), this system has been applied in number of basic research studies and in improving important traits in potato, including its nutritional quality, modification of tuber starch composition, post-harvest quality enhancement, biotic stress ...
Aug 13, 2020 · On the other hand, a study in 2007 conducted by Kodrík et al. demonstrated that GM potato could increase some oxidative stress related hormones such as adipokinetic hormones (AKHs) in Leptinotarsa decemlineata insect fed with GM potato . The above evidence may be a reason for the reduction of oxidative stress-reducing substances in some foods ...
Aug 22, 2009 · In a 2005 commentary on GM food technology, Esra Galun, a respected Jewish Professor of Plant Sciences at the Weizmann Institute of Plant Sciences, who is an expert on Jewish religious prescriptions on plants and food crops recognizes that determining whether it is good to develop genetically modified food crops is fraught with problems . Galun ...
The well-respected British medical journal, The Lancet, published an important study conducted by Drs. Arpad Pusztai and Stanley W.B. Ewen under a grant from the Scottish government. The study examined the effect on rats of the consumption of potatoes genetically engineered to contain the biopesticide Bacillus Thuringiensis (B.t ...
