 A
new research conducted by North Carolina State University (NCSU) and
the University of Minnesota (UM) shows that majority of consumers will
accept nanotechnology or genetic modification (GM) in foods if the technology enhances the nutrition or improves its safety. The research was conducted in a nationally representative survey of 1,117 U.S. consumers. Participants answered questions that explored their willingness to purchase foods that contained GM and foods that contained nanotech. The questions also explored the price of the various foods and whether participants would buy foods that contained nanotech or GM tech if the foods had enhanced nutrition, improved taste, improved food safety, or if the production of the food had environmental benefits. The researchers found that the participants could be broken into four groups:

 Researchers from the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences and University of California Davis, have identified the genes
responsible in the bitter taste in wild cucurbits. The bitter taste
observed in wild cucurbits is believed to be a defensive mechanism of
the cucurbits against predators, while, in Chinese and Indian
medicine, it is believed to be a cure in certain ailments such as liver
diseases. By specifically examining wild cucumber, genes responsible
for this were revealed. Initial findings revealed nine genes involved in the pathway for cucurbitan C biosynthesis, which produces cucurbitacin. Cucurbitacin is responsible for the bitter taste in wild cucumber. By tracing the pathways involved in this trait, they were able to discover two transcription factors responsible for nine genes' switching on and off, the Bi and Bt. Bi is mainly responsible for the cucurbitacin production in the leaves while Bt is for the fruit. This identification will help in crop breeding through the creation of a more edible cucumber and will be necessary in the field of medicine.

 Representatives
from over 170 countries gathered on November 19-21, 2014 in Rome, Italy
for the 2nd International Conference on Nutrition (ICN2), organized by
the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and
World Health Organization (WHO). Aiming to eradicate malnutrition
globally, concrete commitments and policy recommendations were adopted
during the opening of the conference. According to FAO, the Rome Declaration on Nutrition enshrines the right of everyone to have access to safe, sufficient and nutritious food, and commits governments to preventing malnutrition in all its forms, including hunger, micronutrient deficiencies and obesity. On the other hand, the Framework for Action recognizes that governments have the primary role and responsibility for addressing nutrition issues and challenges, in dialogue with a wide range of stakeholders- including civil society, the private sector and affected communities. Based on the Declaration's commitments, goals and targets, the Framework sets out 60 recommended actions that governments may incorporate into their local plans on nutrition, health, agriculture, education, development and investment.

 A
group of researchers from RIKEN Center for Sustainable Resource Science
led by Kazuki Saito has discovered a way in producing safer potatoes.
This discovery is necessary since potatoes secrete solanine and
chacocine, toxins also known as steroidal glycoalkoids (SGA), which
provide defense for growing sprouts against potential pest. Presence of
these toxins at high level is poisonous and dangerous for human health.
By identifying the process involved in SGA production, particularly the genes involved in cholesterol synthesis, the group was able to find the main gene responsible for this mechanism. The genes sterol side chain reductase 1 and 2 (SSR1 and SSR2) were revealed to be the potential genes involved in the process. Functional analysis conducted reveals that SSR2 is the main gene responsible in the conversion of precursor compounds to cholesterol which led to SGA production. RNA silencing to excise SSR2 in the potato genome was done and revealed that excision of this gene has reduced SGA levels without affecting plant growth. This finding has led the group to make a customization of an enzyme called transcription activator like effector nucleases (TALENS) that can selectively excise the SSR2 gene from the potato genome and will be necessary in engineering safer potatoes.

The Philippine
Commission on Higher Education (CHEd) hosts this year's celebration of
the National Biotechnology Week (NBW) which runs from November 24-28,
2014 at CHEd Main Office in Quezon City focusing on the theme "Edukasyon sa Bioteknolohiya: Pagyamanin para sa Kinabukasan Natin" (Fostering Education in Biotechnology for our Future). The event aims to bring public consciousness on the role of biotechnology in food production, food security, and hunger alleviation.
Various activities organized by government institutions and non-governmental organizations are being held all throughout the week. One of the highlights of the event is the launch of the Biotechnology Scholarship Program of the Philippine Department of Agriculture. ISAAA and SEARCA Biotechnology Information Center organized Biotech Shorties, a video-making contest that seek to convey the perspectives of Filipino film makers on the benefits of biotechnology through 3-minute films or "shorties". DA Biotech Program also conducted an infographics poster contest to present the advances in Philippine agri-biotechnology research. High school and college students were enlightened on the different career paths available in the field of biotechnology such as science communication, medicine, and agricultural biotechnology during a Career Orientation on Biotechnology held on November 25. Consumers were also informed on biotech applications in medicine, the national biosafety regulatory framework, the food and environmental safety of biotech crops, and their co-existence with organic agriculture during a Biotech 101 seminar. Science teachers also took part in a study visit to biotech laboratories and facilities in Los Banos, Laguna. These activities were organized by the SEARCA BIC in partnership with the ISAAA, International Rice Research Institute, UP Diliman Molecular Biology and Biotechnology Foundation, Inc., UP Los Banos, DA Biotech Program, and Biotechnology Coalition of the Philippines.

 An international collaboration led by scientists from China, Taiwan, and Belgium, has sequenced the genome of the orchid Phalaenopsis equestris,
a favored parental plant in orchid breeding and the first sequenced
representative of plants that perform photosynthesis using crassulacean
acid metabolism. The team generated more than 119 billion bases of sequence data, which it used to assemble a 1.086-billion-base draft assembly for P. equestris. They also generated RNA sequence data on the root, stem, leaf, and flower samples of P. equestris to aid in their annotation of the genome and gene expression profiling of the plant. Nearly 5,700 P. equestris gene families overlapped with those found in rice, grapevine, and Arabidopsis thaliana. On the other hand, some 4,171 orchid genes appeared distinct from genes documented in a wide range of sequenced plants that included A. thaliana, black cottonwood, grapevine, rice, purple false brome grass, sorghum, maize, Physcomitrella patens moss, and sequenced green algae species. The results of the sequencing study are published in Nature Genetics. For more details, read: https://www.genomeweb.com/ |
