The study consisted of a total of 48 healthy five-week old albino Sprague Dawley® Outbred rats: (24 females) and (24 males) purchased from Taconic Biosciences‚ Inc. one month prior to the experiment. The rats were purchased one month prior so that they can be examined by a veterinarian to make sure they are healthy before the start of the experiment. Once the rats were deemed to be healthy they were then separated into their according groups in order to start the experiment. The female rats were

Seed Germination‚ Dormancy‚ and Storage 1 _________________ I. INTRODUCTION Seeds role in the germination process is a critical part in the plant ’s survival. This is practically true in almost all of the plants species (Copeland & McDonald‚ 1995). As germination is defined as "the emergence and development from the seed embryo of those essential structure"‚ which‚ for the kind of seed in question indicates "its ability to produce a normal plant under favorable

On the Meert farms‚ it is a 90/10 split between Dupont and Monsanto. Tom Meert is a corn and soybean farmer of roughly 4‚000 acres; he states‚ “I’ve had much better luck over the many years farming this set of fields with Dupont Pioneer seeds‚ and that’s why we use mostly Pioneer hybrids.” He then goes on to say‚ “I do try a little bit of the

The first staple crops with engineered traits first became commercially available in 1996; they were: maize (corn)‚ rape (canola)‚ soybean and cotton. The agriculture industry has traditionally been supportive of technological advancement‚ particularly in the field of genetic crop improvement.1 For decades‚ the industry has been mixing naturally the genetic traits of seeds in the

Many foods on the market today contain some part of GM (genetically modified) food. Approximately 85% of corn‚ 91% of soybeans‚ and 88% of cottonseed are genetically engineered which are used on food for human consumption.

Our ancestors first cultivated plants some ten thousand years ago. They domesticated animals later and then selectively bred both plants and animals to meet various requirements for human food. Humans discovered natural biological processes such as fermentation of fruits and grains to make wine and beer‚ and yeast for baking bread. Manipulation of foods is not a new story‚ therefore. The latest agricultural discovery uses genetic engineering technology to modify foods. Farmers and plant breeders
