Extractions: Director, FAO/IAEA Joint Division for Nuclear Techniques in Food and Agriculture Biotechnology has been around for millennia, and probably began when our ancestors used microorganisms to make bread, wine and cheese. It moved on to a more scientific footing in the 1860s, with the work of Pasteur on microorganisms and Mendel on plant genetics. Their pioneering work led at the beginning of 20th century to controlled selection and breeding experiments and 50 years later to the commercial production of crop and animal varieties, breeds and hybrids. From there began the modern era of biotechnology, made possible by advances in in vitro cell culture and the use of molecular techniques both to identify and - in everyday computer language - to "cut and paste" genes from one cell to another. This process of recombining DNA is known as genetic engineering and its products - microorganisms, plants, trees, livestock and fish - are called genetically modified organisms (GMOs). At a pace paralleled only by the digital revolution, we are now unravelling the structure of genomes, discovering the functions of individual genes, and understanding how these can be turned on and off to change the traits of whole organisms.

Extractions: In 1990 I started a B.Sc. In Plant Biotechnology at Wye College , part of Imperial College, London (but actually in Kent). I graduated in 1993, whereupon I started a PhD studentship at the University of Nottingham My Ph.D. work concerned the characterisation of Pectinesterase isoforms in tomato. The project was funded jointly by the and Zeneca Plant Science The enzyme Pectinesterase (EC 3.1.1.11) is found in all plants, and many plant pathogens. The enzyme is especially abundant in tomato, where it has been most extensively studied. In tomato, the enzyme has been detected in fruit, leaves and roots. In particular, the fruit contain very high levels of the enzyme, leading to the theory that it has an important role in fruit ripening and softening [ Column chromatography has been able to separate PE into distinct isoforms. The dominant isoform in tomato is called PE2. This isoform is fruit specific, and appears to increase during ripening. Most work on PE has concentrated on this isoform, due to the large amount of it in tomato fruit, and its ease of extraction. The enzyme has been purified, and genes coding for the enzyme have also been isolated. PE2 has been previously 100% downregulated in tomato using antisense inhibition [ ]. Fruit from these downregulated plants still displayed some PE enzyme activity however, so it was thought that other isoforms unaffected by the antisense inhibition were active in the fruit.

Extractions: Environmental Organizations Pesticide Action NetworkNorth America Pesticides are hazardous to human health and the environment, undermine local and global food security and threaten agricultural biodiversity. Yet these pervasive chemicals are aggressively promoted by multinational corporations, government agencies, and other players in this more than $35 billion a year industry. PANNA (Pesticide Action Network North America) works to replace pesticide use with ecologically sound and socially just alternatives. As one of five PAN Regional Centers worldwide, we link local and international consumer, labor, health, environment and agriculture groups into an international citizens' action network. This network challenges the global proliferation of pesticides, defends basic rights to health and environmental quality, and works to insure the transition to a just and viable society. Environmental Working Group The New York Times The Washington Post The Los Angeles Times , and major network news shows. Environmental Research Foundation Environmental Research Foundation (ERF) was founded in 1980 to provide understandable scientific information about the influence of toxic substances on human health and the environment. Our main goal is to strengthen democracy by helping people find the information they need to fight for environmental justice in their own communities. We believe that grass-roots action is the effective lever for change in our neighborhoods and that informed citizens are the essential backbone of a strong democracy and a healthy environment. To accomplish our goal, we provide information to grass-roots community activists, environmentalists, journalists, librarians, and others. We specialize in information on hazardous substances and hazardous technologies, including landfills, incinerators, pesticides, organochlorine compounds, risk assessments, and their effects on human and environmental health. Much of the information we have to offer can be found in our newsletter

News FAQs Queensland Department of Primary Industries, Farming Systems Institute J. Bjelke Petersen Research Station, Kingaroy, Q 4610 The Australian peanut breeding program was established in 1977 by the Queensland Department of Primary Industries, during which time there have been 6 variety releases, of which 3 are locally bred, 2 are direct introductions from the USA, and 1 was originally from Israel. The emphasis of the program has changed over the past 20 years, initially being focussed on selection for high yield and drought adaptation for the major production areas based in the Burnett (S.E. Qld) and Atherton Tableland (N. Qld) regions. With the changing production base from rainfed to increased irrigated production in central and southern Queensland (see Figure below) over the past 10 years, there has been a changed focus to also select for high yield potential in these new environments. Another major focus has been to enhance peanut kernel quality, with the backcrossing of the high oleic trait into otherwise commercially acceptable varieties. Other recent germplasm related projects have involved the development of drought resistant germplasm, both via selection for drought escape (early maturing varieties) and drought tolerance, via indirect selection for a number of traits known to confer superior drought adaptation (transpiration efficiency, partitioning to pods, rooting capacity). This work has involved close collaboration with India (ICRISAT and the Indian National Program).
