This chapter examines the emerging technologies that can be applied in the poultry industry in the coming decade for increased sustainability of genetic resources. Some of these technologies such as semen cryopreservation are currently being used for sustainable production by protecting and...
Many of the nutritional challenges posed by alternative systems can be addressed by application of existing scientific knowledge. However, regulations applied to alternative systems may limit the nutritionist's freedom of action, particularly with regard to the ingredients which can be used to...
The current worldwide status of genetically modified crops is discussed. Some of the risk analyses and related studies that have been conducted are reviewed and their relevance to the conservation of insect biodiversity are assessed. Some of the wider issues and possible future risks and benefits...
The conservational and ecological risks posed by gene flow from all modern crops to crop wild relatives is examined, and the extent to which the principles developed for the risk assessment of genetically modified crops can be applied to this broader set of problems is explored. A case study on...
The ability to genetically modify any organism provides a powerful tool with many applications both in contributing to basic science and with the potential for practical applications. The development of methods to genetically modify the chicken has only recently made significant advances. We have...
This paper briefly describes frost impact on potato production and the changes in plants during cold acclimatization. It reports the latest results on the ectopic expression of Arabidopsis thaliana CBF1 (AtCBF1), its effect on enhancing freezing tolerance in wild and domesticated potato species via ...
This paper examines the effect of prior high-temperature exposure on the susceptibility of rice (cv. Kirara 397) seedlings to chilling injury, and evaluates the changes in L-ascorbate peroxidase (APX) activity and induction of transcription after exposure to high temperature in order to determine...
