Which body of the government of india regulates GM research and safety of introducing GM organisms for public services?
Read the paragraph that follows on a particular GMO. Make a tabulation of its use's positive and
negative consequences as well as ethical issues.
Landmines in many countries worldwide remind us of dreadful wars in the past and these too
still prey on innocent lives who accidentally step on them. There is an interesting research
however on a genetically modified plant species, Arabidopsis thaliana which detects the
presence of land mines through changing colors. In a particular study, a gene that turns-on the
production of the red pigment, anthocyanin in the presence of nitrogen dioxide has been
inserted in the genome of thale cress (A. thaliana). As the modified plant already renders a
sensitivity to the presence of nitrogen dioxide gas, in areas where unexploded landmines exist,
the leaves of these plants turn from green to red, signaling the presence of nitrogen oxide gases
released by these buried bombs (Nelson, 2004).
