give any two names of genetically modified plants
Answers
Explanation:
GM technologies or biotech traits that have been extensively commercialized include herbicide-tolerant soybeans, maize, cotton, and canola as well as insect-resistant maize and cotton. Other GM crops that have been developed include papaya, sugarbeet, rice, tomato, sweet pepper, petunia, squash, poplar, and alfalfa.
Answer:
Genetically modified plants show promise as tools to protect animal, plant, and human health from an increasing number of global disease threats. In overseeing research at publicly funded institutions, many Institutional Biosafety Committees (IBCs) function as both the gatekeeper and facilitator of basic science research and important crop innovations that serve the public trust. Challenges to the IBC mission, and to the larger efforts of ensuring biosecurity for crops, can arise when biotechnology and research innovation outpace regulatory precepts. This chapter presents a perspective on how IBCs function to support responsible research, and ensure the integrity of the United States food supply and export commodities, and explores the specific challenges and opportunities to consider in institutional oversight of research involving genetically modified plants.
Name
•Corn:
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 corn that produces proteins that are toxic to certain insect pests but not to humans, pets, livestock, or other animals. These are the same types of proteins that organic farmers use to control insect pests, and they do not harm other, beneficial insects such as ladybugs. GMO Bt corn reduces the need for spraying insecticides while still preventing insect damage. While a lot of GMO corn goes into processed foods and drinks, most of it is used to feed livestock, like cows, and poultry, like chickens.
Soybean:
Most soy grown in the United States is GMO soy. Most GMO soy is used for food for animals, predominantly poultry and livestock, and making soybean oil. It is also used as ingredients (lecithin, emulsifiers, and proteins) in processed foods.
Cotton:
GMO cotton was created to be resistant to bollworms and helped revive the Alabama cotton industry. GMO cotton not only provides a reliable source of cotton for the textile industry, it is also used to make cottonseed oil, which is used in packaged foods and in many restaurants for frying. GMO cottonseed meal and hulls are also used in food for animals.
Potato:
Some GMO potatoes were developed to resist insect pests and disease. In addition, some GMO potato varieties have been developed to resist bruising and browning that can occur when potatoes are packaged, stored, and transported, or even cut in your kitchen. While browning does not change the quality of the potato, it often leads to food being unnecessarily thrown away because people mistakenly believe browned food is spoiled.
Papaya:
By the 1990s, ringspot virus disease had nearly wiped out Hawaii’s papaya crop, and in the process almost destroyed the papaya industry in Hawaii. A GMO papaya, named the Rainbow papaya, was created to resist ringspot virus. This GMO saved papaya farming on the Hawaiian Islands.
Summer Squash:
GMO summer squash is resistant to some plant viruses. Squash was one of the first GMOs on the market, but it is not widely grown.
