Jan 1, 2018 · Genetically modified cattle that produce recombinant human lactoferrin, lysozyme, or HBD-3 in milk have already been generated (Cooper et al., 2015; Chen et al., 2016). Simojoki et al. (2010) showed that transgenic cows that produced recombinant human lactoferrin in the milk did become infected by Staphylococcus chromogenes but showed fewer ...
Jul 24, 2020 · This paper updates previous assessments of the environmental impacts associated with using crop biotechnology (specifically genetically modified crops) in global agriculture. It focuses on the environmental impacts associated with changes in pesticide use and greenhouse gas emissions arising from the use of GM crops since their first widespread ...
Corn is the most commonly grown crop in the United States, and most of it is GMO. Most GMO corn is created to resist insect pests or tolerate herbicides. Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) corn is a GMO ...
Dec 20, 2018 · Genetically modified babies: the big questions. The Hastings Center bioethics research institute has awarded a journalism prize to Amber Dance for a 2017 Nature Biotechnology feature that has only ...
Aug 11, 2016 · In this study, we examine consumer acceptance of GM late blight resistant potatoes in Ireland. Our analysis uses an experimental auction methodology that facilitates positive and negative bids to provide a more complete revelation of preferences. Results show that a majority of participants preferred conventional potatoes to GM potatoes.
Jan 5, 2017 · Only few of the Genetically Modified (GM) bananas have qualified for field studies and some are currently undergoing nutritional human trials. GM bananas aim to increase productivity and nutritional value and so could effectively contribute towards food security in the near future. Transgenics. Bananas. Crop improvement.
Jan 15, 2018 · Arctic apples are genetically engineered (GE) to prevent browning. This means that the genetic material that dictates how the apple tree grows and develops was altered using biotechnology tools. But before learning about the modern science used to make Arctic apples, let’s explore how traditional apple varieties are grown.
