Yes..I am waiting..

[@rbk58]

Interested and waiting for today's webinar.

[@ayushipriya2019]

Yes

[@hasanfarthana1135]

Yes ,Good morning everyone

[@debjanichanda1193]

Good morning everyone. I really want to know more on GM crops and it's application in India as our countrys primary source of livelihood for 58% percent of the population is agriculture. Looking forward for todays webinar. yes it should come but with beneficial purpose

[@pranavraj1808]

Very informative video

[@chhayasharma8488]

Good morning everyone n m excited for today webinar..

[@manjarims4990]

Good morning everyone, I am stduying MSc Biotechnology and Biotecnika never fails to guide us in every aspects. Eagerly waiting for the webinar.

[@nithinkumar7574]

I still wanna add a point, "Your teachers or lecturers shouldnt be stammering much in the class" which shows their under-confidence to take a session or the subject. Not all the teachers in biotecnika are good.

[@roshansingh6904]

[@s.shruthishreegandhimscbio5401]

Bt cotton is okay as far it has provided more resistance to the bugs.but before that south indian people make cotton milk as one of the food.but not now. I also don't like gm brinjal..if u research u could see difference in the Brinjal,tomato,potato,carrot phenotype and genotype especially their taste and appearance differs in different state. They have uniqueness. It's not that we bring one new trait destroying the old but we need more research on saving the existing one's.

[@sasmitameher2998]

That was a very informative video on this topic. GMOs are indeed required to meet the food demands of growing population and also for better yielding of crops. Many of them will be safe but not most of them as we also need naturally occurring seeds.

[@bikashkumbhakar4277]

Yes, to some extent

[@mamtasingh3751]

Good morning to all ... First of all thank you for the informations ... I am ready for the webinar

[@sampat2911]

Good

[@preethiacharya2637]

So exited

[@dr.saurabhbirla4511]

Ofcourse, we need GM crops and GM foods on large scale to enhance quality and quantity of food for mankind.

[@parthapratimbose9640]

[@survibe4744]

Good morning Everyone ,Yes I'm waiting to attend today's webinar

[@praveenkumar-rx4qs]

Agree only for few extent. But occupying the market by GMOs is a cruelty towards farmers. Naturally occurring seeds must be saved. GMOs are mainly the game of capitalist.

[@BHAbhatsami]

Yes, I agree but we have been making hybrids for centuries now. we have changed most of the crops to the extent that they differ completely from their original crops. The misconception is that GMO's would be the end of traditional cultivation. No, it won't be because that's what people have said about every new technology. It's been decades since we started using pesticides but still, organic farming is a trend.

[@praveenkumar-rx4qs]

@@BHAbhatsami we should move to natural farming practices. Instead of intensive agriculture practices, we should also move towards permaculture

[@deepshikhatripathi628]

Yes 👍🏻

[@rashmibhushan1926]

Good morning..Genetic modified crops should be considered.. until it doesn't harm human kind.

[@prabalk2896]

Hi..m praba Good morning to all.

[@meenakshisrivastava6445]

Good morning

[@stanleevjohn]

I think as long as there is no threat to human health and the health of the animals feeding on those crops, GM crops should be allowed. There is no apparent major reason to stop GM crops because traditionally, the crops were bred to get the best quality. The same thing is done in GM but this is not in the field directly but in the laboratory.

GMO's sound really scary. But Im intrested and wanted to learn more about it.

[@charlesmrader]

The video began with a picture of Jeremy Rifkin, but gave no hint of his disgraceful role as the originator of anti-GMO fearmongering. It's an interesting story. It began when scientists had already perfected the ability to move genes from one species of bacteria to another, but before eucaryotic organisms could be modified. Some plant scientists knew that tomatoes will be quickly killed by frost because ice crystals can penetrate the cells of their leaves. It turns out that ice crystals do not normally form at exactly the freezing point of water, but their formation can be instigated by tiny specks of matter, usually bacteria. But there is one kind of bacteria that produces a protein that prevents these ice crystals from forming until it becomes a few degrees colder. This has little to do with genetic engineering. It is an entirely natural gene, occurring in nature but giving the bacteria no particular advantage or disadvantage compared to other bacteria of the same species. What would happen if the "ice minus" bacteria were to out-compete the normal bacteria on the tomato leaves? Would the tomato have any frost resistance? As an experiment, the scientists transferred the ice-minus gene into some bacteria and let it naturally evolve some other stress tolerance features, hoping that when these bacteria were sprayed onto tomato leaves they would out-compete the normal bacteria and become dominant. Hopefully that would make the tomato plant a bit more frost tolerant. For all the time since the bacterial studies on gene transfer had begun, the scientists had all always been very careful not to release any GMO bacteria into the environment. There was no need to release them into the environment for this experiment, which could be done in a greenhouse. But after the spraying, would there be GMO bacteria on the scientists? Of course. So when they applied the GMO bacteria in a greenhouse, they wore special clothing that could be sterilized. It looked like they were wearing space suits. Enter Jeremy Rifkin. He had, for years, been trying to stir up fearful prejudices against all gene transfer experiments, and against many other technologies as well. He brought a lawsuit against the scientists, trying to block their experiment. This was a routine, no surprise to the scientists. They had their date in court, had his case dismissed, and they planned to go forward with the experiment. But Rifkin obtained a photograph of the scientists with hazardous waste suits spraying the ice-minus bacteria, bacteria that presented no anticipated threat, just routine and accustomed cautious practice. Rifkin saw his opportunity to turn that photograph into a propaganda tool. If the scientists were wearing hazard protection clothing, there must be some serious danger! It was Rifkin's successful fearmongering campaign that lead to the entire anti-GMO campaign against agricultural biotechnology. It was taken up by many other fearmongers who continue to this day. India has some of the most successful fearmongers! Ironically, the ice minus bacteria did little or nothing to make the tomatoes resist frost. In countries that have spurts of cold weather, tomatoes can be grown only during the warmest months. Nothing genetic engineers have done has made tomatoes frost tolerant.

Hi everyone..I wanted to know about the biosafety measures a lab has to take to undergo such research.also if the rules are different for prokaryotes and eukaryotes,and how?the ethical values related?whose permission we have to take if we do such research

[@DrSuhasiniBhatnagar]

I believe we should allow GMO"s just that we are speeding up things, but Nature is also carrying on the experiment and it takes time and results in new crops but we are not doing something out of the blue.Its been there and On since evolution.

[@itz_flame_ff]

What are essential of biotecnica ?

[@shubhagupta99]

I think to not totally depend on GM Crops!

[@deepikabipcollege]

Hello everyone

[@leafleaf9058]

I think we have not yet took a massive steps in saving the genome of native species and native seeds .to focus much on genetic modification may increase wealth but I believe it's not the point of science.

[@charlesmrader]

Oh gee! The video started out OK, but at 5 minutes and 27 seconds in, there is the ubiquitous anti-GMO propaganda favorite, the tomato being injected with a hypodermic syringe. Why? Does this have anything to do with genetically modified foods? Is it how they are made, how they are studied, about anything at all? No!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If you went into a laboratory where genetically modified plants are created, you would never see a hypodermic syringe. The closest you might see would be a syringe without any needle, used to measure a precise amount of some liquid. Why the syringes? Well, it is propaganda. It is not meant to make you think, but to make you nervous and for your discomfort to rub off onto the subject of GMO food. The syringe makes many people think of having their own skin punctured. It makes them think of an illness. It makes them think of a laboratory, of an unnaturalness. This idea of a fruit punctured by a syringe is ONLY from anti-GMO propaganda, although it has been spread to become a standard symbol of genetically modified food because it is such SUCCESSFUL propaganda. PLEASE EDIT THE VIDEO TO REMOVE THIS!
