Plants are cross-bred until they possess “desirable characteristics(12).” Crops such as “corn‚ maize‚ soya bean‚ and cotton(12)” have built a resistance to the herbicide “Roundup‚” which kills off weeds.

Sonchus oleraceus or also called as Sowthistle originates from Europe (Munz‚ 1968). During the 1800s Europeans were travelling the world and carrying their crops‚ so they brought the Sowthistle to Australia. Sonchus oleraceus is biennial or an annual weed. It is glabrous‚ milky (white latex in all plant parts)‚ and erect stems with can get between 20 to 150 cm tall. Hollow‚ septate at the nodes and relatively pentagonal in section because the decurrent midribs in the leaves (Alex et al.‚ 1980).

Food Modified Through Generations In the late 1800’s Native Americans treasured food‚ but the cooking appliances were rudimentary. Native American food and cuisine have historical significances‚ because it has changed the cooking industry today. Today we eat unhealthy‚ easy‚ quick meals. Farming methods allowed crops to grow on the same soil. It was hard‚ tiring‚ and miserable to work in the hot sun‚ trying to catch your family a meal. Today‚ microwaves‚ ovens‚ and mixers make it effortless to make

Hariss Ahmed Butt HamzaKhalil SS-100 Writing and Communication 16 October 2012 Evolution of Genetically Modified Crops The evolution of Genetically Modified crops (GM) has‚ for the first time in history‚ presented us with a solution to the problem of global hunger. The world’s population has almost reached 7 billion people and is growing exponentially.This raises the question: how can we supply food to so many people nutritiously and affordably while protecting and preserving the environment

There have been controversy regarding Monsanto‚ the leading manufacturer of GMOs in court. In the Monsanto Canada Inc v Schmeiser‚ it was a case that drew a lot of attention to how patents worked with GMOs. In this particular case Monsanto intended to sue Schmeiser‚ a small time farmer‚ over his use of Monsanto’s patented crop. The context to this was that Schmeiser claimed that his neighbor’s crops‚ Monsanto’s Bt corn‚ had contaminated his own crop. Schmeiser later saved the Roundup resistant canola

Whole Grains What are whole grains? Whole grains are foods naturally coming from the entire grain seed. All grains start as whole grains‚ whether it stays that way depends on us. When they are growing in the fields the whole grain is the whole seed of the plant called the kernel. Whole grains are made up of three important parts; the bran‚ the germ and the endosperm. Before a food qualifies as whole grain it must have 100% of the kernel‚ which means all of the bran‚ germ‚ and endosperm must be

Are genetically modified foods beneficial? Frederick J Cole Genetically modified foods are produced from plants which have had their genetic make-up ‘tweaked’ in the lab. Scientists “cut and paste” a gene from another organism into a plant’s DNA to give it a new characteristic. I have always been interested in Biology and I have heard a lot of bad things about GM food‚ but I have always wondered if there are any benefits‚ so this is what I would like to research. Firstly‚ I would like to look at
