Public reminder that #gmo are well regulated and safe to eat. Also gmo and #bioengineering can provide numerous advantages such as more nutrients, less or no pesticides needed

"Any quest to prove beyond doubt that #GMO s are safe will run into the same roadblock, as nothing can be proven 100% safe. More than 2,000 studies and 20+ years of consumption by humans and animals have produced no evidence that GMOs represent an unusual health risk. Every major health and regulatory body in the world agrees."

“Only because of that official investigation did Canadians learn that ‘over 5 million nonconsenting Canadians’ were scanned into Cadillac Fairview’s database”. Wow....

I already boycott Mars because they are a GMA member

and they spent ~$500k lobbying against #GMO labeling

The other stuff I can understand, but what is the issue with this? GMOs are perfectly safe to eat.

Anti-#GMO folks want cool and new products so bad, they pretend they aren't #GMO and try to sell them.

Baker Creek Seeds caught selling a purple tomato, claiming it was a non-GMO variety. It was even the cover girl of their catalog!

An eBay listing for the Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds catalog. It shows lovely images of the "Purple Galaxy" tomato with deep color and perfect shape and luscious seeds. Editorial comment: And it is lovely. But it is also GMO.

#Science wins in European Parliament on #GMO #NBT:

MEPs voted to support what are known as New Genomic Techniques or NGTs. These are ground-breaking gene editing techniques of breeding crops that harness the best of human ingenuity to produce the crops of the future – today.

There’s a strong movement in support of #GMO in upcoming European Parliament vote. Interestingly, the support is coming from scientific and environmental experts, including some #organic farmers:

Nearly three dozen Nobel laureates have joined more than 1,000 scientists in urging members of the European Parliament to embrace science-based gene editing technology. New Genomic Techniques, they write in a petition, “hold immense promise for sustainable agriculture, enhanced food security, and innovative medical solutions.”

Surprising? But if you start with the definition of “organic farming” as farming that attempts to minimize negative impact on environment, it makes perfect sense. Genetically organic plant varieties require less herbicides and pesticides and less land, which means they actually do support biodiversity more than traditionally cultivated varieties.

American Academy of Pediatrics advises avoiding #GMO foods due to #glyphosate residues

Pediatricians urge more transparency & more research on GMO foods.

A new clinical report issued by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) in #UnitedStates – to provide guidance to clinicians in providing pediatric care addresses concerns raised by families about #GM foods. It focuses on the risks of the herbicides sprayed on #GMfood & feed crops – especially glyphosate. https://mailchi.mp/gmwatch.org/american-academy-of-pediatrics-advises-avoiding-gmo-foods-where-practical-due-to-glyphosate-residues?e=bdb7fe5132

Gościem podkastu Radio Warroza @radiowarroza jest biolog genetyk profesor Paweł Golik. Dyrektor Instytutu Genetyki i Biotechnologii na Wydziale Biologii Uniwersytetu Warszawskiego. W pierwszej części wywiadu rozmawiamy o powstaniu i ewolucji życia na Ziemi oraz skąd się wzięły owady zapylające i kulturalne gadające małpy.

W drugiej części wywiadu rozmawiamy o biotechnologii, inżynierii genetycznej oraz o GMO. Racjonalnie rozważamy to zagadnienie w kontekście środowiska człowieka, pszczół i pszczelarstwa. Mam nadzieję, że zachęciłem.

Kolejny ciekawy przypadek owada zaliczanego do tzw. szkodników.

Tantniś krzyżowiaczek (Plutella xylostella) gąsienice ćmy pożerają warzywa krzyżowe, takie jak kapusta, brokuły, kalafior i jarmuż, globalnie kosztując rolników szacunkowo 5 miliardów dolarów (3,2 miliarda funtów) rocznie na całym świecie. Ćma ta była pierwszym szkodnikiem upraw, który rozwinął odporność na DDT i ostatecznie stała się odporna na 45 innych insektycydów. W Malezji ćma ta stała się odporna na wszystkie syntetyczne opryski. W 2015 r. firma Oxitec opracowała genetycznie zmodyfikowane tantnisie, które wytwarzają niezdolne do życia żeńskie potomstwo, aby mieć kontrolę nad populacją.

Owad z rodziny Męczelkowatych (Braconinae) rodzaju Atanycolus pasożytując na swoich gospodarzach motylach (np. jedwabniku) jednocześnie przenosi wirusa Bracovirus, który nie czyniąc szkody swojemu wektorowi jednocześnie modyfikuje genetycznie jego gospodarza doprowadzając go do śmierci. Jest to przykład "naturalnego GMO". fot: Richard Bartz, Munich aka Makro Freak

How about we make the Japanese melon last longer?

Stable shelf life is incredibly important for food distribution around the world and reducing overall food waste.

Similar to non-browning features in other crops like the Arctic Apple, Japanese scientists at Tsukuba University have used CRISPR to knockout an ethylene production gene responsible for fruit ripening.
