Plant genetics

Domesticated crop plants tend to have low genetic diversity because they have usually been selectively bred from varieties that are genetically related. This cross-breeding approach produces high-yield varieties, but it can also increase susceptibility to disease and pests.[1] Cross-breeding these…

(August 2003) Even before the creation of transgenics, the alteration of crops to improve their production was performed through selection. In fact, this selection has been going on for thousands of years and only in the past few centuries has it become a dedicated science onto itself. So, why has there been a push to

Interested in becoming a Clinical Aromatherapist? We offer an Online Clinical Aromatherapy Certification Course Recently I was reading through a dialogue in an aromatherapy forum and was interested in how some individuals began their dialogue with “I am a clinical aromatherapist”. I also see this on occasion when ‘surfing’ the web, so to speak. So […]

Who is Gregor Mendel? Gregor Mendel is regarded as the first ever geneticist. He overcame poverty and the death of his father, funded his own education and finally joined the abbot to continue with his studies. He spent much of his adult life trying to answer the following question: How do mothers and fathers –… Continue reading Scientist Study: Gregor Mendel – Simple Genetics

Humankind unwittingly dabbled in genetic engineering 10,000 years ago, when early farmers saved seeds from their most vigorous plants — those with the hardiest genes — for the next year’s crops. We’ve come a long way since then.
