I agree this modification will be very beneficial in advanced countries and third world countries because it will help in filling humans with the recommended daily dietary nutrients.karolis kasperaviciushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12494279289725225341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3360356351594869925.post-36654566567908415742017-10-29T18:51:38.688-04:002017-10-29T18:51:38.688-04:00This sounds like Rutgers researchers are only at t...This sounds like Rutgers researchers are only at the beginning stages of genetically modifying corn. This opens up vast opportunities for them to improve one of the largest cultivated crop in the world. It sounds like they are going to increase the nutritional value through incorporating methionine production in their genome. If they could figure out how to preserve the size of the corn or find a way to increase crop yield, it could be a huge combatant of world hunger and malnutrition in underdeveloped areas around the world.Katie https://www.blogger.com/profile/08594404372112754987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3360356351594869925.post-64226680624692371202017-10-27T18:36:55.294-04:002017-10-27T18:36:55.294-04:00I saw this article, and I was proud that the disco...I saw this article, and I was proud that the discovery was from a university so close to home-Rutgers! The topic of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) tends to be controversial sometimes, but I think that if the technique is used to increase the value of the organisms, rather than exploit the value of them, then I support genetic modification. It's great that the scientists found a cheaper, more convenient way to utilize methionine in the corn!Cassidy_Troyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03101348038816193122noreply@blogger.com
