Study and Comparison of Genetically and Non-Genetically Modified Rice from View Point of Possibility of Gene Transferring in Blood of Labouraty Animal
Introduction: Genetically modified plants species of plants are produced by the genetic engineering of agricultural science and the addition of specific genes in their genetic sequences with the aim of optimizing the product and creating desirable traits. This study examined the remains of Cry1A(b) and P35 genes in blood of rats fed with genetically modified rice. Methods: This study was exper...
متن کاملChanges in the microbiota cause genetically modified Anopheles to spread in a population.
The mosquito's innate immune system controls both Plasmodium and bacterial infections. We investigated the competitiveness of mosquitoes genetically modified to alter expression of their own anti-Plasmodium immune genes in a mixed-cage population with wild-type mosquitoes. We observed that genetically modified mosquitoes with increased immune activity in the midgut tissue did not have an observ...
متن کاملWest Nile Virus Isolation in Human and Mosquitoes, Mexico
West Nile virus has been isolated for the first time in Mexico, from a sick person and from mosquitoes (Culex quinquefasciatus). Partial sequencing and analysis of the 2 isolates indicate that they are genetically similar to other recent isolates from northern Mexico and the western United States.

High seed quality is a critical component for realising yield potential. Forsmallholder cowpea farmers in northern Nigeria the informal seed system is amajor supplier of genetically high-quality seed, but the physiological quality offarmers’ produced seed remains unknown. The project “Promoting SustainableAgriculture in Borno State” (PROSAB) trained and supported farmers in seedproduction in Bo...
متن کاملA quantitative competitor PCR assay to detect genetically modified roundup-ready soybeans in commercially sold foods in Iran
Due to ever-increasing global diffusion and related socio-economic implications, the detectionof genetically modified organisms (GMOs) is very important. In this study, we design a plasmidcontaining two genes in mutated form as construct-specific (cp4 epsps) and event-specific(pd35S). It is applied for quantitative-competitor (QC) PCR as a simple and reliable method forthe detection of GM food....
