Everyone should know what genetically modified organisms are, why they are used, pros, cons, and why is it controversial, so that they can form their own…

Leroy et al. (2000) used 4 microsatellite primers to characterise Brassica oleracea accessions. Among the 136 reproducible fragments generated, 25 (18.4%) fragments were common for all Brassica, 27 (19.9%) were unique and 84 (61.7%) were phylogenetically informative. Flannery et al. (2006) assessed polymorphisms in Brassica, Arabidopsis, Camelina, Raphanus and Sinapis using 10 plastid SSR primer sets. Eight loci were polymorphic, and separated the individuals of Brassicaceae into taxon-specific…

Scandinavia is mostly concentrated in the warmer south regions. The harsher northern areas extend above the Arctic Circle. Sweden has different climate zones. It has the widest range of agriculture that is concentrated in the south. It produces wheat, rapeseed, sugar beet, barley and oats. Norway has a wild mountainous terrain and a long coastline and that results sea fish being the staple diet, supplemented by reindeer. Denmark agriculture is oriented towards dairy products, pork and…

Thus, each cell consists of several main components: proteins, fats, carbohydrates. What should they be? How should interact with each other? In the cell nucleus there is deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) that defines this processes. The separate section of DNA that encoded the assembly sequence of a protein called «gene». Proteins are composed of various genes, in turn, define the structure of the cells, regulate the synthesis of all other substances, perceive and transmit signals that cause the cell…

(hormone like compounds), which are involved in various physiological functions including vital organ function and intracellular activity. Good dietary sources include: Fish such as mackerel and salmon, linseed, soy beans, sesame seeds, avocados, rapeseed and some dark leafy green…

Chapter1. The development of biodiesel The name biodiesel refers to the fuel that comes from biological sources and is mainly to be applied in diesel engines. The National Biodiesel Board (NBB) defines biodiesel as “a domestic, renewable fuel for diesel engines derived from nature oils”. As a matter of fact, biodiesel is so called not only because of biologically derivation as waste raw materials are also commonly used in production (Sunggyu Lee 2012). Compared with massive GHG emissions of CO2,…

In 2004, Chef Claus Meyer, and Chef Rene Redzepi opened a Danish restaurant named NOMA, in Copenhagen. The name NOMA is a contraction of the Danish words for “Nordic” and “Food”. NOMA is currently the most important restaurant in the world. Together Chef Rene Redzepi and Chef Claus Meyer popularized, and invented the idea of Nordic cuisine. They populated their menu with items such as wild berries, musk ox, and sauces made with beer rather than wine. NOMA’s success has empowered other…

Should Genetically Modified Foods be Labelled in Canada? Currently, 64 countries around the world, which does not include the United States or Canada, are required to label all genetically modified foods. These countries have created laws in order to command the labelling of GM foods due to the concerns of the public (Labelling Around the World 103). Research on genetically modified organisms has been in existence ever since their appearance decades ago and none of them contain evidence that…

Genetically Modifying Our Generation GMOs have become a popular in both the general public and the science community, and yet the debate continues. Are GMOs bad for people? The views are split by some who say “the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few” and others who say that GMOs aren’t natural and are slowly killing us (Spock 1982) .To accurately give information, the history, benefits, adverse effects, and GMO research are needed. What Is a GMO and How Does It Work What is a GMO…
