Many plants are hermaphrodites‚ producing both pollen and ovules‚ however most plants have adaptations to avoid fertilizing their own ova‚ as it is counterproductive in reducing genetic diversity in offspring (William Halmeck‚ 2004). Nevertheless‚ self-fertilization can‚ and does occur. Self-pollination creates a more uniform offspring and allows plants to be less resistant as a whole to disease. Even though it is counterproductive‚ self-pollination does not expend energy on attracting pollinators

Statistical Analysis System (SAS)‚ when it was just created‚ began at North Carolina State University. It was a project which was used to analyze agricultural research. More and more companies showed some interest in it and in 1976‚ SAS was founded. It has grown immensely over the last three decades and boasts of having several of their branches receiving awards for being “No. 1 best place to work in 2010 and in the past” (About SAS‚ 2015). SAS has a total of 14‚010 employees all over the world and

Who has the right to say who can and can’t genetically alter their body if they had the chance to? Genetic engineering is the only possibly way to make that happen for people. If this was applicable for human use than the world would as we all know it would change. As of right now though this is only being currently being tested on plants and animals such as: flowers‚ corn mushrooms‚ mice‚ pigs and monkeys. When genetic engineering can be perfected then humans can be altered to cure diseases‚ fix

Borma (2017) defined food wastage as food produced but never eaten‚ prepared but never consumed. Food wastage also identified as food loss‚ are foods and inedible foods which are removed from the food supply chain and disposed of or recycled (Melikoglu et al.‚ 2013). As recognised by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO)‚ food wastage is a global problematic issue with repercussions on the supply chain‚ which needs to be addressed throughout the world (FOA‚ 2017) This

The ideas of globalization being the main cause of the spread of Global diseases is valid‚ however in these day and age it is mostly inevitable‚ we live in a time when people wants to travel to new places‚ where countries economies and food production depends on each other geographic location and their abilities to produce and trade such goods. In time where medicine and its benefits can also travel worldwide the negatives impacts that these global trading causes‚ does not outweigh the benefits.

Food crops have occupied an important place in human nutrition as they remain the major sources of calories and protein for a large population in the world‚ particularly in developing countries. For economic and social reasons‚ many millions of people in Asia and African countries depend on vegetable products of cereals and legumes sources. According to the FAO available data‚ about 80% of the protein consumed by the humans in developing countries is supplied by the plants. Legumes are recognized

2.1 Improved plant material for establishing successful teak plantations For planting‚ teak vegetative material comes from seeds or vegetative propagation (clones). Careless selection of plant material is one of the main causes of plantation failure. There has been considerable progress in producing improved seed from seed areas and orchards‚ increasing the overall quality of plants used for many projects. To obtain considerable genetic gains in shorter time clonal propagation has shown to be an

Genetically Modified Foods Someone out there has probably wondered why their tomatoes which they bought at a supermarket‚ taste different than the tomatoes at a farmers market. Well to answer that curious person‚ the tomatoes from the supermarket are most likely Genetically Modified. Genetically Modified foods (GM foods) are organisms in which genetic material (DNA) have been altered in a way that is not natural. Basically they are inserting genes of another species into their DNA‚ the process is
