  5. Plant Biotechnology: Classical Plant Breeding: Genetic modification following introduction of large amounts of undefined DNA from a genetically similar source. Genetic modification of a plant cell by introduction of defined DNA(s) from a genetically different source.

  6. Biotechnology: Bio = BiologyTechnology = Application “The application of Biology”(for the benefit of humans)

  7. Plant Biotechnology:1) Plant Tissue Culture (Cloning) 2) DNA introduction (Gene Transfer)

  8. Cloning in Plants Turfgrass? Roses? Daffodils? Apples? Oranges? Have you ever eaten/used cloned plants? Potatoes? Strawberries?

  9. Cotton Xmas Cactus Fern Ohio Buckeye Soybean Poplar

  10. Gene Identification: Protein and Oil Virus resistance Herbicide resistance Value added Grain quality stress resistance Pharmaceuticals Flower color Neutrative GenomicsProteomicsMetabolomics Animal viral vaccines Growth habit Insect resistance Fungal resistance

  11. Plant Transformation Agrobacterium Particle gun

  12. First biotech plant product – Flav’r Sav’r tomato

  13. Bt Corn Reduces:Insecticide MycotoxinApplication Production

  14. Monarch larvae on Butterfly weed X

  15. Public Support Varies for Different Applications of Biotechnology(Includes ALL Countries – N = 35,000) Source: Thomas Hoban, North Carolina State University

  16. The Benefits of Using Biotechnology are Greater than the Risks (35,000 Consumers from 35 Countries)

  17. The Benefits of Using Biotechnologyare Greater than the Risks (European Consumers)

  18. Willing to Buy GM Food if More Nutritious (Net = Continue – Not Continue)

  19. “Can you think of any information not currently included on food labels that you would like to see?”

  20. Perceptions of safety improved when US consumers learn that biotech foods have been in the stores. Do you think genetically modified foods are basically safe, basically unsafe, or don’t you have an opinion on this? Now, as you know, more than half of products in the grocery store are produced using some form of biotechnology or genetic modification. Knowing this, do you think genetically modified foods are basically safe, basically unsafe, or don’t you have an opinion on this? January 2001 Source: Pew Initiative on Food and Biotechnology

  21. “By Eating a Genetically Modified Fruit, a Person’s Genes Could also Be Changed” 1996 - 1998 Source: Thomas Hoban, North Carolina State University

  22. “Ordinary Tomatoes Do Not Contain Genes, while Genetically Modified Ones Do” 1996 - 1998

  23. Biotech Regulatory Oversight
