The Indian Council for Agricultural Research (#ICAR) has issued a circular to its senior officers and scientists, instructing them to limit their interactions with the media.
It was issued on Feb 2, emphasises that media briefings must be conducted only by authorised officers and with prior approval.
The decision followed concerns raised by a ‘Non-GM Coalition’ regarding research outcomes and supposed manipulation related to #genetically #edited #rice, which ICAR later addressed with a rebuttal. -

#Beetle #Harmonia #axyridis is native to Asia, but due to its use for pest control, it established #worldwide. It is known for its high number of #color/#pattern forms, partly due to a #genetically based #polymorphism. There is seemingly genetic variability in some morphs, and colors in an individual can change slightly during its life. D. Lemic et al. (2021) used #geometricmorphometrics to detect morph #plasticity.

As for your #agricultural #products :
* we do not want #Genetically #Modified #Organisms #GMO
* we do not want #chlorine #chickens or #growth #hormones #meet -
Almost 30 years ago, in 1996, #genetically engineered #seeds were commercially introduced in the US for key field #crops, with #adoption rates increasing since then. By now, over 90% of US #corn, #cotton & #soybeans are produced using #GMO varieties: https://www.ers.usda.gov/data-products/adoption-of-genetically-engineered-crops-in-the-united-states/recent-trends-in-ge-adoption #plantbreeding

As for your agricultural production, we do not want to eat #Genetically #Modified #Organisms #GMO, so thanks but no thanks. No orange haired #mutants please. Neither #pesticides, thanks.
We are also keen on " #Europe #First", or our #nations first, i.e. being #independant
Because we are already great !A concept very difficult for you to understand , apparently
This is just another pretext to harass your (best) friends

Odri is a member of an extraterrestrial species who were originally human but - in the distant unremembered past - were modified into floating telekinetic beings whose bodies are "recharged" by advanced bio-pods.
They have vague cultural memories of Earth as a distant homeworld, but were unaware that their species had been changed until arriving there.
It may not be possible to prove when or why they were changed.
This species does not have a single accepted name, given that their word for themselves is also used for the residents of Earth.
The remaining members of the species were sent "back in time" to the present day by powerful forces, in what is likely a long-term attempt to strengthen Earth as a potential ally.
They arrived in the early 90s, which triggered a wave of spaceship-themed music videos, such as "Larger than Life" (Backstreet Boys), "Say What You Want" (Texas), "Scream" (Michael and Janet Jackson), and "You'll Be Sorry" (Steps).
Neither Odri's people nor Earth currently have any contact with other extraterrestrials, nor the ability to communicate at the great distances required.
Odri was born after her species arrived on Earth.
Her name is a traditional name among her people and is probably descended from the name "Audrey".
Most members of Odri's species still live on their spaceships. (Odri currently lives in the college dorms.)
Odri is part of a group of talented technicians that maintains the bio-pods; they have the technology to build new ones, but the process is very slow, and reverse-engineering them is not yet possible.
Odri is about 20 years old, and is attending a state university in the U.S.
Special scholarships are available for extraterrestrials from universities who hope to attract unique talent.
Odri's people originally had a religion which taught that the prophet they were looking for was on another planet and was not yet revealed to them.
The more Odri floats, the sooner she will need to "recharge".
Odri also needs to sleep, like a regular human, but she can do so while recharging.
Odri cannot eat food, but does need to drink water. -

Electroporation is a #gene delivery technique that uses electric fields to create temporary pores in cell membranes that let #DNA enter target cells: https://www.nagoya-u.ac.jp/researchinfo/result-en/2023/12/20231207-01.html >> #natural #GMO

Good morning from a frosty and foggy London. Top news on #BBCWorldService:
British doctors have for the 1st time ever #successfully #treated an #incurable and aggressive form of #leukaemia with a #cell #engineering technique: They used #genetically #modified cells that are able to target and kill cancer cells without damaging healthy ones. After the experimental medicine the teenage patient was able to receive a bone marrow transplant restoring her immune system. She is now free of cancer.

Having #children earlier in life is #genetically linked to #dying younger
An analysis of over 270,000 people's #genomes has found that people with #genes linked to having children earlier in life are also more likely to die before the age of 76. “It’s because natural selection largely cares about reproduction,” says Jianzhi Zhang at Univ of Michigan. “So those #mutations that are beneficial for #reproduction, but may be detrimental afterwards, would still be selected.” https://www.newscientist.com/article/2406998-having-children-earlier-in-life-is-genetically-linked-to-dying-younger/ -

The research looked at #genetically modified #zebrafish that fail to make the #baz1b #protein. The results suggest the #gene is not only at the cornerstone of #physical and #behavioral changes in the fish and other domesticated species, but potentially also human beings’ social relationships.
