Genetically Modified Plants : Assessing Safety and Managing Risk (9780123741066)



A transgenic organism is a plant, animal, bacterium, or other living organism that has had a foreign gene added to it by means of genetic engineering. Transgenic plants can arise by natural movement of genes between species, by cross-pollination based hybridization between different plant species (which is a common event in flowering plant evolution), or by laboratory manipulations by artificial insertion of genes from another species. Methods used in traditional breeding that generate transgenic plants by non-recombinant methods are widely familiar to professional plant scientists, and serve important roles in securing a sustainable future for agriculture by protecting crops from pest and helping land and water to be used more efficiently.

There is worldwide interest in the biosafety issues related to transgenic crops because of issues such as increased pesticide use, increased crop and weed resistance to pesticides, gene flow to related plant species, negative effects on nontarget organisms, and reduced crop and ecosystem diversity. This book is intended to provide the basic information for a wide range of people involved in the release of transgenic crops. These will include scientists and researchers in the initial stage of developing transgenic products, industrialists, and decision makers. It will be of particular interest to plant scientists taking up biotechnological approaches to agricultural improvement for developing nations.

The Blue Goose and Me (9781482779066)

The "Blue Goose and Me" follows the early career of Joe D. White with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, National Wildlife Refuge System. Joe began his career with the National Wildlife Refuge System in 1961 as the assistant manager on Chassahowitzka National Wildlife Refuge on the central gulf coast of Florida where for two years he was introduced to the science and art of habitat and wildlife management, work that produced incredible experiences that accrue to working with wildlife populations and individuals. The next seven years saw him continue to hone his wildlife management skills as assistant manager on Reelfoot Refuge in northwest Tennessee, White River Refuge in east central Arkansas, and Wapanocca Refuge in northeast Arkansas. As an assistant manager on these wildlands and wildlife havens, most of his duties were performed outdoors, a fortunate circumstance that provided him the opportunity to participate in wildlife/nature adventures that the average citizen woul...

Make Love (3442176514)

Noch nie war es einfacher, etwas über Sex zu erfahren. Internet, Fernsehen, Magazine - überall wimmelt es von Pornografie und Erotik. Das heißt aber nicht, dass Jugendliche heute besser informiert sind als früher - ganz im Gegenteil. Wer heute heranwächst, hat es vor allem mit irreführenden Idealen und falscher Perfektion zu tun. Was wirklich wichtig ist - Intimität, Liebe, Kommunikation -, hat keinen Platz in den modernen Medien. Deswegen ist es höchste Zeit für ein neues Aufklärungsbuch!
