Adoption of GM technology in Europe will depend largely on the level of public support, according to Maive Rute, director for Biotechnologies, Food, and Agriculture Research for the European Commission.
Channel 4 accused of misleading contributors to green documentary. An environmental documentary due to be broadcast on Channel 4 on Thursday evening has come under attack from a leading American environmentalist who was interviewed for the programme, as well as a coalition of anti-GM campaigners based in the developing world.
Adam Werbach, a California-based sustainability consultant and former president of the Sierra Club conservation group, told the Guardian that the makers of What the Green Movement Got Wrong did not inform him about the programme's polemical nature when they first approached him to contribute. He says that the final version, which he has seen, does not accurately represent his opinions and that he wants his contribution edited out of the programme.
He is now considering making a formal complaint to Ofcom, the UK's media regulator, once the programme has aired. Adam Werbach said the film "misrepresents who is to blame for many of our social and environmental problems". "We've now seen the documentary.

Public release date: 1-Nov-2010 [ Print | E-mail Share ] [ Close Window ] Contact: Richard Hundrhund@botany.org 314-577-9557American Journal of Botany GMOs, or Genetically Modified Organisms, may raise concerns of genes escaping from crops and having unknown effects on natural, wild species.
But what is the real risk that traits associated with GMOs will actually migrate to and persist in their wild relatives? Interest in plant ecology, crop production and weed management led John Lindquist and his colleagues from the University of Nebraska and USDA-ARS to investigate how gene flow from a cultivated crop to a weedy relative would influence the ecological fitness of a cropwild hybrid offspring. Grain sorghum (Sorghum bicolor subsp. bicolor) is an important food and feed crop throughout the world. A major challenge to sorghum producers is the limited number of products available to control weeds within the crop—too many of the common products cause crop damage.
Mad Soy Disease Strikes Brazil. Dr.
Mae-Wan HoInstitute of Science in Society They call it “mad soy disease” in Brazil, where it has been spreading from the north, causing yield losses of up to 40 percent, most notably in the states of Mato Grosso, Tocantins and Goias. Like its namesake, mad cow disease, it is incurable [1, 2, 3]. This is the latest GMO fiasco to surface since our report on the meltdown in the USA [4] (GM Crops Facing Meltdown in the USA, SiS 46), China [5] (GM-Spin Meltdown in China, SiS 47), and Argentina [6] (Argentina’s Roundup Human Tragedy, SiS 48). Mad soy disease has afflicted soybeans sporadically in the hot northern regions of Brazil in the past years, but is now spreading to more temperate regions in the south “with increased prevalence overall”, according to a US Department of Agriculture scientist. The disease delays the maturation of infected plants indefinitely; the plants remain green until they eventually rot in the field. Investigating Agrobacterium-Mediated Transformation of Verticillium albo-atrum on Plant Surfaces.
Background Agrobacterium tumefaciens has long been known to transform plant tissue in nature as part of its infection process.
This natural mechanism has been utilised over the last few decades in laboratories world wide to genetically manipulate many species of plants. More recently this technology has been successfully applied to non-plant organisms in the laboratory, including fungi, where the plant wound hormone acetosyringone, an inducer of transformation, is supplied exogenously. Bacteria spread genes to fungi on plants. Bacteria spread genes to fungi on plants 27 October 2010, by Tom Marshall A bacterium that's used to modify plants' genes can also change the DNA of completely different lifeforms in the wild, new research shows.
Le retour du coing — Recettes de Cuisine des Blogs. Oct 19 Recette Le retour du coing Visitez la recette sur son blog : pour cette recette : Un des avantages de l’automne, de l’hiver c’est le renouvellement des recettes, fini les salades tomates- mozza et compagnie, on va pouvoir passer au « mijotage », aux plats en sauce, et surtout aux preparatifs des repas de fetes….
Entre temps les marches se remplissent de beaux fruits et legumes de saison, et parmi ceux qui arrivent il y a le coing et sa tete cabosse… qui une fois passe a la moulinette va donner des tresors aux couleurs chatoyantes. Avec un peu d’organisation, cela va devenir presque un jeu d’enfants de preparer de la pate de coings, et de la gelee. Peu d’ingredients, coings, sucre et eau , et une preparation au four pour la pate de coings qui a fait ses preuves et qui rend la chose moins penible que de rester plantee devant sa marmite, a touiller pendant des « heures ».
