The tomato is the edible‚ often red fruit/berry of the nightshade Solanum lycopersicum‚[1][2] commonly known as a tomato plant. The species originated in the South American Andes[2] and its use as a food originated in Mexico‚ and spread throughout the world following the Spanish colonization of the Americas. Its many varieties are now widely grown‚ sometimes in greenhouses in cooler climates. The tomato is consumed in diverse ways‚ including raw‚ as an ingredient in many dishes‚ sauces‚ salads

------------------------------------------------- Genetically modified crops Genetically modified crops (GM crops‚ or biotech crops) are plants‚ the DNA of which has been modified using genetic engineeringtechniques‚ to resist pests and agents causing harm to plants and to improve the growth of these plants to assist in farmers efficiency. Genetic engineering techniques are much more precise[1] than mutagenesis (mutation breeding) where an organism is exposed to radiation or chemicals to create

Peanuts: Food Quality and Evaluation Introduction Peanuts (Arachis hypogaea) are one of the most versatile crops produced in the world. Also known as ‘groundnuts’‚ they serve as a major ingredient rather than a whole product. Peanuts contain over thirty essential nutrients and phytonutrients. They are a great source of Vitamin E‚ niacin‚ unsaturated fats‚ folate‚ fiber‚ magnesium‚ phosphorus‚ manganese‚ antioxidants‚ and protein. Research has shown that peanuts‚ and most fruits‚ contain

By allowing production of several proteinisoformsfromonepre-mRNA‚alternativesplicing contributes to proteomic diversity. But what do we know about the origin of this mechanism? Do the same evolutionary forces apply to alternatively and constitutively splice exons? Do similar forces act

CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION‚ OBJECTIVES AND OUTLINE OF THE THESIS -49- -50- Abstract As marine environments are under increasing anthropogenic pressure‚ there is a need for decision support systems (DSSs) and management tools that allow to tackle some of the environmental problems associated with this pressure and to allocate the different uses in a sustainable way. Most marine management tools are built around the Driver-Pressure-StateImpact-Response (DPSIR) framework‚ where indicators
