The importance of biotechnology for the global economy is growing, including developments in field genetically modified organisms (GMO), which have revolutionized cultivation several major food crops. Despite many benefits from introducing genetic modifications to crops, Polish society shows a strong distrust towards GMO-based food. negative attitude (GM) could be considered irrational. It not ...

IN SEPTEMBER 2012, EUROPE WAS SHOCKED BY A PUBLICATION, FROM CAEN UNIVERSITY IN FRANCE, claiming that rats fed for 2 years with transgenic herbicide-resistant corn suffered from tumors. Even though the results have been criticized as fl awed,* this research continues to be hailed as a confi rmation that genetically modifi ed organisms (GMOs) are intrinsically dangerous. The European Union (EU) ...

Abstract-HCTN7. In this paper, antidiabetic activities of glucomanno-oligosaccharides (GMO) in vitro and vivo were investigated. GMO significantly increased AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) phosphorylation a concentration-independent manner. Treatment with 100μg/ml 50μg/ml for 1 hour caused 1.47-fold 1.81-fold AMPK, respectively. Oral administration (6g/kg-1 body weight day-1) lowered blood ...

glycerol mono-oleate (gmo) was produced by direct esterification reaction with amberlyst 16 resin catalysts with the efficiency of 86% and was used as a surfactant for synthesis of cofe2o4 nano-particles by surfactant-assisted microwave method. fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ft-ir), x-ray diffraction (xrd) and scanning electron microscopy (sem) were used to consider the structural and...

The development of genetically modified crops has had a great impact on the agriculture and food industries. However, the development of any genetically modified organism (GMO) requires the application of analytical procedures to confirm the equivalence of the GMO compared to its isogenic non-transgenic counterpart. Moreover, the use of GMOs in foods and agriculture faces numerous criticisms fr...

Socio-economic considerations are included in the regulatory frameworks on genetically modified organisms (GMOs) of many countries. This is a reflection of an increasing interest in and recognition of the necessity to consider a broader range of issues when conducting a GMO risk assessment. At the same time, there are discussions about how socio-economic considerations can be identified and how...

We critically evaluate the isovector Goldberger-Miyazawa-Oehme ~GMO! sum rule for forward pN scattering using the recent precision measurements of pp and pd scattering lengths from pionic atoms. We deduce the charged-pion-nucleon coupling constant, with careful attention to systematic and statistical uncertainties. This determination gives, directly from data, gc ~GMO!/4p514.1160.05~statistical...

The rapid increase in the number of genetically modified (GM) varieties has led to a demand for high-throughput methods to detect genetically modified organisms (GMOs). We describe a new dynamic array-based high throughput method to simultaneously detect 48 targets in 48 samples on a Fludigm system. The test targets included species-specific genes, common screening elements, most of the Chinese...
