¡El arroz con vitamina A es una realidad!

¡Sí!
Finalmente se lanzará el arroz dorado “Golden Rice”. Esta versión tiene el mismo rendimiento que la variedad regular utilizada en el experimento y tiene la misma resistencia a las enfermedades de las plantas.

Vitamin A rice now a reality

Field trial shows high promise, people may get it by 2018

Las pruebas de campo son prometedoras, la gente podría tener acceso al Golde Rice en 2018.

Bangladesh sigue marcando el camino y demuestra que el movimiento anti-OGM está equivocado. También se esperan muchas mentiras sobre el Golden Rice, insultos y amenazas a su gobierno y a Matia Chowdhury, el ministro de agricultura.

Aunque esta es una publicación de 2016, esperamos que el arroz sea liberado a principios del próximo año.

Field trial shows high promise, people may get it by 2018.

Bangladesh keeps leading the way, and proving the anti GMO movement wrong. Expect a lot of lies about GR as well, and insults and threats to their govt, and to Matia Chowdhury, the minister of agriculture.
Although this a publication of 2016, we hope that the rice will be release at the beginning of next year!

Exciting news.
I hope that this can be applied to Gros Michel bananas as well.

¡Más variedades de manzanas!

December 17, 2017 / / 0 Comments

Recuerdo que algunas de las manzanas que tuvimos en la estación experimental de Cornell el año pasado tuvieron problemas similares: eran muy sensibles a los golpes y moretones.

Noten que, aparte de las “Arctic Apples”, todas las demás manzanas mencionadas en este artículo han sido obtenidas por métodos de cruce tradicional.

Artículo en inglés:

This autumn’s apples mark the beginning of the designer fruit era

More apple varieties!

I remember that some of the apples we got at the Cornell experimental station last year had similar problems: They were very sensitive to bruises.

Notice that other than the Arctic Apples all the other apples here have been obtained by traditional breeding.
