Plant Breeding and Biotechnology

22.0K
Crop cultivation has a long history in human civilization, with records showing the cultivation of cereal plants beginning at around 8000 BC. This early plant breeding was developed primarily to provide a steady supply of food.

Synthetic Biology

5.7K
Synthetic biology is an interdisciplinary science that involves using principles from disciplines such as engineering, molecular biology, cell biology, and systems biology. It involves remodeling existing organisms from nature or constructing completely new synthetic organisms for applications such as protein or enzyme production, bioremediation, value-added macromolecule production, and the addition of desirable traits to crops, to name a few.

The Central Dogma

34.6K
The central dogma explains the flow of genetic information from DNA nucleotides to the amino acid sequence of proteins.
RNA is the Missing Link Between DNA and Proteins
In the early 1900s, scientists discovered that DNA stores all the information needed for cellular functions and that proteins perform most of these functions. However, the mechanisms of converting genetic information into functional proteins remained unknown for many years. Initially, it was believed that a single gene is...

Drug Products: Biologics, Biosimilars and Interchangeables

319
Biologics, derived from living sources such as humans, animals, or microorganisms, represent a significant category of pharmaceuticals. These complex molecules, developed through advanced biotechnological methods or purified from natural sources, include essential medical treatments like insulin and growth hormones. The complexity of biologics arises from their large molecular structures and the intricate processes required for their production, making them distinct from conventional...

Decision Making: P-value Method01:09

Decision Making: P-value Method

7.1K
The process of hypothesis testing based on the P-value method includes calculating the P- value using the sample data and interpreting it.
First, a specific claim about the population parameter is proposed. The claim is based on the research question and is stated in a simple form. Further, an opposing statement to the claim  is also stated. These statements can act as null and alternative hypotheses:  a null hypothesis would be a neutral statement while the alternative hypothesis can...

Area of Science:

  • Biotechnology
  • Behavioral Science
  • Risk Perception

Background:

  • Societal challenges in climate change, healthcare, and quality of life are growing.
  • Biotechnology offers safe and effective solutions, yet consumer acceptance remains low.
  • Public resistance to technologies like vaccines, genetically engineered food, and fluoridated water persists despite scientific consensus.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate consumer decision-making regarding biotechnology.
  • To understand public resistance to controversial biotechnologies.
  • To propose research directions for informed consumer choices.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of consumer decision-making, focusing on affect and ambiguity.
  • Examination of controversial biotechnology examples: vaccinations, genetically engineered food, rbST, fluoridated water, and embryonic stem cell research.
  • Development of thematic approaches for policy design.

Main Results:

  • Consumers often perceive risks associated with biotechnology as high, contrasting with expert assessments of low risk.
  • Behavioral decision-making research, particularly concerning affect and ambiguity, is key to understanding this discrepancy.
  • Four thematic approaches are proposed to guide policymakers.

Conclusions:

  • Informed consumer decision-making regarding biotechnology is essential for societal progress.
  • Addressing the gap between perceived and expert-assessed risks is critical.
  • Future research should integrate decision-making insights to empower consumers to appropriately assign risk and make informed choices.
