Biotechnology
Biotechnology breakthrough: Scientists created a recombiant organism for the first time by moving viral DNA into a bacteria./ This is important because this marks the major beginning of genetically modifying things. -
First release experiment
The first purposely released experiment, conducted by the Genetic Sciences, was injecting genetically-modified microbes into trees./ This is important because we have got to changing things that play a important role in life. -
First Gm crop
The Us Enviroment Protection Authority gives their approval to the test of the first genetically modified crop, a GM virus resistant tobacco plant./ This is a test whether genetically modified foods can used in life. -
Potato Genes
In the Uk, potato plants have been modified, by adding more genes, to have more protein and nutritional value. Also research has inlude removing the proteins that cause allergies from peanuts./ This is important because it shoes that the plants can be changed to suit our lives. -
First genetically engineered food product
The FlavrSavr tomato gets approved by Us Food and Drug Administration. / This shows that we can use these for eating and making a longer shelf life. -
Consensus Conference
Austalia has its first Consensus Conference on gene technology in the food chain./ This is important because this shows other parts of the world is now beggining to work with GM products. -
First crop to have its genome decoded
Researchers have the coding for the DNA of rice, 2/3 of the worlds food source./ This is important because this is 2/3 of the foods source then if we modify it to grow more and die less we can feed ourselves more -
Virus strains
CSIRO runs tests to find a virus strand as a forewarning for where the lethal strand will hit in chickens./ This is important because we can find things early, like a forecast. If we find it early we can prepare and prevent it. -
GM chickens
Scottish resaerchers genetically modify chickens for eggs that can produce a resistor to cancer and other dieases./ This is important because we need drugs to help save people from sickness. -
Gm Results
GM wheat, modified to resist droughts, is 20% more than non gm plants./ This is important because it shows GM foods are becoming important to everyday life. -
The restaurants
The restaurants will begin using GM foods to cut costs./ This is important because non- GM foods may become extinct. -
The World
The world will be relying only on GM foods. / This is important because it will solve food shortanges problem.
