Genetically Modified Crop Plants Biology 115 Genetically Modified Crop Plants Genetically modified crop plants and animals have great potential to change the world we live in. I believe that genetically modified crop plants can cure world starvation and at the same time improve the quality of food production. I recall when Senator Ron Paul was a presidential candidate in 2008 and student asked him his stances on genetically modified food products. His reply was “Big businesses

Background of Transgenic or Genetically Modified Foods. “A GMO is a plant or animal that has been genetically modified through the addition of a small amount of genetic material from other organisms through molecular techniques.” (Bessin‚ 1999 rev. 2004‚ p.1). (This was something that was in our Bt Corn lab report) Most common and widely produced transgenic or genetically modified crops in the US are corn‚ soybeans‚ and cotton. Genetically engineered crops became available in the US commercially

TRANSGENIC SPECIES SPEECH Good afternoon Ladies and Gentlemen. Today‚ the topic for our debate is on whether “the benefits of transgenic species outweigh the ethical considerations.” We‚ the negative team‚ believe that this statement is false. The first affirmative speaker has tried to tell you that transgenic plant species are a revolutionary new way to produce crops with dramatically increasing yields and as a result‚ this will increase the farmlands’ productivity. However‚ this is

The FDA’s recent approval of transgenic (genetically engineered) salmon gave biotech firm‚ AquaBounty the go ahead to sell its genetically engineered Atlantic salmon. This decision set a precedent as the first genetically altered animal product approved for human food in the United States. Approval opens the door for other transgenic food products. Transgenic foods are a hotly debated topic. The approval met with a mix of elation from proponents and unbridled fury from some environmental and consumer

------------------------------------------------- Genetically modified crops Genetically modified crops (GM crops‚ or biotech crops) are plants‚ the DNA of which has been modified using genetic engineeringtechniques‚ to resist pests and agents causing harm to plants and to improve the growth of these plants to assist in farmers efficiency. Genetic engineering techniques are much more precise[1] than mutagenesis (mutation breeding) where an organism is exposed to radiation or chemicals to create
