Personal Research

Ethics in experimental research equals scientific integrity, a notion principle particularly stressing honesty while implementing discipline concepts on what is excellent and terrible. Some moral responsibility is defined through specifically agreed standards in doing experimental research. Ethics of experimental research in agriculture involves all activities done before, during, and after the study, consisting of personal, research, and social ethics. Ethical code and policy include, but are not limited to, honesty, objectivity, integrity, carefulness, openness, intellectual right recognition, confidentiality, responsible publication, social responsibility, competency, legality, and protecting research object/subject (plant, animal, human) from possible unfair manipulation. One development triggering the controversy of agriculture’s experimental ethics is the progress of agricultural biotechnology which resulted in genetic engineering products. Rules, regulations, and laws concerning the use and development of genetic engineering in agriculture to avoid adverse effects of these products, such as rising environmental hazards, increasing human health degradation, and unfair economic competition, should be considered and implemented.

Business Competitiveness

Set for success in the market, biotechnology could fulfil several objectives of the European Union, notably those relating to health, agriculture, the environment, technological development and general business competitiveness. However, several factors hinderthis knowledge-based technology from realizing its potential in Europe, as is measured by the usual indicators of competitiveness. The reasons are examined through a bottom-up approach, starting from the management of biotechnology research and moving towards business strategy and the role of consumers and regulators. Agricultural biotechnology in Europe is characterized by excellence in research but unattractiveness to investors.

Or Gene

Biotechnology, specifically genetic engineering, is the manipulation of an organism's DNA in order to direct that organism to perform a specific and useful task. This is usually accomplished by transferring a section of DNA, or gene, from one organism to another. In agriculture, plant biotechnology is used for crop improvement. This document is SS-AGR-191, one of a series of the Agronomy Department, Florida Cooperative Extension Service, Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, University of Florida.

Agricultural Biotechnology Is Much More Than Herbicide-Tolerant Crops

Herbicide Tolerant

Herbicide-tolerant genetically engineered (GE) plants have been a lightning rod for activists, who regularly attack them, citing a number of spurious objections. Contrary to their claims, the plants do not contain herbicides; rather they are resistant to the herbicides, in order to make weed control – an essential aspect of farming – more efficient and cost-effective. But molecular genetic engineering applied to crops has made monumental contributions in addition to herbicide-resistance, and these are discussed.

Transgenic Tomatoes

<p>The development of seedless tomato fruits will be more attractive to both consumers and industries. Seedless tomatoes can be<br />produced through parthenocarpy technology. Artificial parthenocarpy can be induced by conventional crossing, hormone<br />application, or genetic engineering. The development of parthenocarpic tomatoes through genetic engineering has been carried<br />out by inserting DefH9-iaaM parthenocarpic geneinto tomato genome via Agrobacterium tumefaciens mediated transformation.<br />Sixty putative transgenic tomato lines were produced and three events (OvR1#14-4, OvM2#10-1, and OvM2#6-2) were selected<br />as the best events. The background of the tomato lines was Oval variety, and based on PCR results, the three selected lines<br />contained DefH9-RI-iaaM in their genome. The objective of this research was to determine the integration of DefH9-RI-iaaM<br />gene in the progenies of three transgenic tomatoes lines using PCR technique. The research was conducted in the laboratory<br />and Biosafety Containment Facility of Indonesian Center for Agricultural Biotechnology and Genetic Resources Research and<br />Development (ICABIOGRAD). Parental variety, Oval (neither transgenic nor in vitro cultured), and elite line of CL 6046 were used<br />as control plants. The results indicated that the progenies (T1, T2, and T3) of the three tomato lines contained the insert DefH9-RIiaaM<br />gene.</p>
