I suppose you could always pretend you want me to shut up, and make a thread that you know will attract me in order for me to post back to you!

Theres a field of genetically modified wheat at Harpenden. 2 synthetic genes have been added to the wheat, one produces a protein which is similar to a protein found in peppermint. The other is not a cow gene but is described by Rothamsted Research as 'similar to a cow gene'. The newpapers have been lying. Rothamsted Research say:DIAMONDS wrote:Gigolo wrote:Anyone evil would want to silence Diamonds.
Yes this is true..
Add something interesting below.

I assume Rothamsted Research couldn't give a bollocks if they are exposed online with a small number of people reading. However, its likely some of the people who work there live in the area and do not want the people in the town knowing whats going on. They probably would not want the following going through local people's letterboxes:
Rothamsted Research
Rothamsted Research assured everyone:
• The GM plots will be separated from the edge of the trial by 10 meters of barley (or space) plus a 3 metre 'pollen barrier' of wheat that helps to contain pollen from the GM plants within the trial site. All these plants are treated as though they are GM and harvested /destroyed at the end of the trial. There will be no cereals grown for 20 metres outside the boundary of the site and no wild relatives of wheat that can cross with our cultivated variety exist in the vicinity.
• Couch grass species, distant relatives of wheat will be controlled in a 20 metre wide area around the trial site to avoid any slight possibility of cross-pollination.

Gene Flow In Wheat At The Field Scale, by Matus Cadiz M.A.; Hucl P; Horak M.J; Blomquist L.K. states, 'Research to date has not measured gene flow, the exchange of genes between different but usually related populations, over longer distances in wheat', and notes, 'One case of long-distance intraspecific pollen-mediated gene flow was confirmed at a rate of 0.005% at a distance of 300 m to the NW of the 2000 pollinator block (Table 4). This gene flow event probably resulted from wind-mediated pollen movement promoted by strong and prevalent winds.' There was unconfirmed at 1210 metres.

Contradicting science correspondents in the media, according to Rothamsted Research:
• The genes we inserted into the wheat plants were chemically synthesised and not taken from another plant or animal.The gene that makes (E)-β-farnesene, encodes a protein that is similar to that found in peppermint but versions of this gene are also present in many other plants. The other gene that is needed, the "farnesyl pyrophosphate synthase gene", is widespread in nature and can be found in most organisms.
• We used synthetic genes which is a standard procedure for modern molecular biology. The synthetic form of the farnesyl pyrophosphate synthase gene we used encodes a protein that happens to be most similar to that found in cow but is not significantly different to the versions found in nearly all other organisms. It is not a cow gene, it just looks like one. A bit like two unrelated individuals who have an uncanny resemblance to each other.
