Rapeseed

Cross Contamination of Brassica Napus INTRODUCTION Brassica Napus is a bright yellow flowering rapeseed that can be used to create biodiesel, animal feed and vegetable oils. As of 2009, over 90% of Brassica Napus was genetically modified to make it disease and drought resistant. The high rate of the genetic modification of this crop is due to the increased yields of the crops which in turn lead to higher economic returns for the farmers producing the Brassica Napus. (Beckie, 2011). Although…

conditions, pest and longer lives. The first plant modified was a tobacco plant in 1982. It was produced to be antibiotic resistant. Most of the genetically modified crops in agriculture consist of manufactured goods crops, like soybean, maize, cotton and rapeseed. The Flavr Savr tomato was produced and sold in 1992 but only for a few years. The tomato was made to have a longer shelf life than other tomatoes. To try to improve world hunger, researchers have been developing golden rice that…

Tips to freshen up your bedroom 1 . Q: I have received rapeseed oil on my mattress, how do I remove this? Answer: Spray the stain with pure gasoline brand Griffin. Let be about 10 minutes.

CHAPTER-2 VARIABILITY AMONG THE ALTERNARIA BRASSICAE ISOLATES INTRODUCTION The chapter is mainly concerned with examining the variability among Alternaria brassicae isolates from the oilseed brassicas. Since, the oilseed brassicas are more prone to the fungal attack and thereby, resulting in reduced productivity of the oilseed. Therefore, the present investigation focuses on the studying the features such as morphological, pathological and molecular variability of Alternaria brassicae. The…

On one hand, in the retail space palm oil is often substituted by related products including soybeans and rapeseeds. On the other, palm oil is a basic raw material, especially working as substitutable inputs to certain industrial grade products. Moreover, the threat of economically competitive biotechnology is a point into the future, where healthy commercially…

Fatty acids and oil are organic substances, which are composed of carbon, oxygen and hydrogen. When carbon, oxygen and hydrogen are chemically combined with a carboxyl group, a long chain is formed, called as fatty acids. Alternatively, when fats react with water, they break into fatty acids and glycerin. Three chains of fatty acids when react with glycerol molecule, they combine to form triglycerides. Molecules of triglyceride are the basis of fats and oil. The difference in their chemical…

Humans have been operating the genetic sequences of organisms for thousands of years by choosing organisms with the characteristics that are desired. Genetic manipulation, also called genetic engineering or genetic modification, is the process of removing a desired characteristic gene from a plant and transferring it to another plant through biotechnology (Study.com, n.d.). This technique has emerged and is still in use due to crop improvement, human nutrition, plants as Bio factories and basic…

Australia. In Western Canada, GM canola occupies over 30% of the agricultural land (Brewin and Malla 257). Development of GM canola Canadian plant breeders Baldur Stefansson and Keith Downey first coined the word ‘canola’ for a naturally modified rapeseed variety that they had developed in 1978 using traditional plant breeding methods (Brewin and Malla 258). Non-GM canola was difficult to grow due to weed encroachment by wild mustard and stinkweed. Traditional breeding to obtain…

What is diabetes? Diabetes is a common condition in which the amount of glucose (sugar) in the blood is too high. This is because the body's method of changing glucose into energy is not working as it should. We obtain glucose from the food that we eat, either from sugary foods or from the digestion of starchy foods such as bread or potatoes. The liver can also make glucose from other foods. If somebody has diabetes, the glucose in their body is not turned into energy, either because there is…

CHAPTER 2 LITERATURE REVIEW 2.1. POTATO CHIPS The potato (Solanum tuberosum L) ppopularly known as ‘The king of vegetable’s, and it is the world’s fourth most important food crop, after maize, rice and wheat, with more than 376 million tonnes produced in 2013 (FAOSTAT, 2014). Potato chips are thin slices of potato that have been deep fried or baked until crunchy. Potato chips have a unique texture flavor combination, which makes them so desirable in market (Garayo, 2002). Potato chips can…
