Plant Breeding and Biotechnology

18.9K
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.

Mutation, Gene Flow, and Genetic Drift

58.4K
In a population that is not at Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, the frequency of alleles changes over time. Therefore, any deviations from the five conditions of Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium can alter the genetic variation of a given population. Conditions that change the genetic variability of a population include mutations, natural selection, non-random mating, gene flow, and genetic drift (small population size).

CRISPR

50.8K
Genome editing technologies allow scientists to modify an organism’s DNA via the addition, removal, or rearrangement of genetic material at specific genomic locations. These types of techniques could potentially be used to cure genetic disorders such as hemophilia and sickle cell anemia. One popular and widely used DNA-editing research tool that could lead to safe and effective cures for genetic disorders is the CRISPR-Cas9 system. CRISPR-Cas9 stands for Clustered Regularly Interspaced...

Types of Genetic Transfer Between Organisms02:18

Types of Genetic Transfer Between Organisms

27.8K
Genetic transfer occurs when genetic information is passed from one organism to another. It occurs via two mechanisms: vertical gene transfer and horizontal gene transfer. Vertical gene transfer occurs when genetic information is transferred from one generation to the next, which happens much more frequently than horizontal gene transfer. Both sexual and asexual reproduction are forms of vertical gene transfer, where one or more organisms pass some or all of their genome onto their progeny.

Transgenic Plants02:50

Transgenic Plants

7.2K
Recombinant DNA technology called transgenesis is often used to add a foreign gene or remove a detrimental gene from an organism. Such genetically modified organisms are called transgenic organisms.
The first-ever transgenic plant was a tobacco plant developed in 1983 that showed resistance against the tobacco mosaic virus. Since then, many transgenic plants have been developed and commercialized for improving the agricultural, ornamental, and horticultural value of a crop plant. Transgenic...

    Summary

    Public understanding of artificial gene drive (GD) is limited. Research reveals deep-rooted concerns about large-scale environmental interventions, influenced by individual worldviews, highlighting societal and metaphysical considerations beyond the technology itself.

    Area of Science:

    • Environmental Science
    • Sociology
    • Bioethics

    Background:

    • Artificial Gene Drive (GD) presents potential conservation benefits but lacks public awareness.
    • Understanding public perception is crucial for the responsible development of GD technologies.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To explore public views on Gene Drive in New Zealand.
    • To investigate how different worldviews shape perceptions of GD.

    Main Methods:

    • Participants were grouped by worldview.
    • Engaged in word association and discussion after a technical definition of GD.

    Main Results:

    • Discussions revealed universal caution regarding large-scale environmental technological interventions.
    • Specific worldviews influenced themes of concern, particularly fears of human overreach and ecological feedback loops.

    Conclusions:

    • Public discourse on GD uncovers profound social, cultural, and metaphysical concerns.
    • These concerns extend beyond the stated technical purposes of gene modification technologies.
