BIOTECHNOLOGICAL FOOD AND MEDICINE GROUP ONE Feeding the forecast world population of 10.8 billion in 2050 will be next to impossible without integrating gene manipulation for control of plant characteristics into conventional breeding programs. Of the limited number of plant species that make up the dietary staples of the world—cereals, legume, potato, cassava, sugarcane, sugar beet—none has yet been improved successfully by biotechnology. Conventional plant breeders will reap the benefit of restriction-fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) identification, which allows horticulturists to test for the presence of a particular gene without waiting for the phenotype to appear. vanilla Extensive use but very expensive The second expensive flavor of the world Tissue culture Tuber protoplast Callus an adventitious root plant Transgene If you want some characteristic, you can transfer a single gene to a certain plant. Rapeseed oil crops contains less saturated fatty acids than most of oil crops, About Only 5-6% compared with soy’s 10%. So Rapeseed oil is more healthy. Most of saturated fats are found in animal products, for example: butter, milk, Fatty meat and so on. These fats are not as healthy as unsaturated fatty acid , such as Linoleic acid(亚油酸), linolenic acid（亚麻酸）are Essential fatty acids（人体必需脂肪酸），lack of these kinds of oil may lead to some illness。 projects underway will attempt to clone genes for enzymes involved in fatty acid synthetic pathways. This word would enable custom-manufacturing of oils with various fatty acid composition. （展望:将利用基因克隆等新技术研究含特定成分的油） Tomato Engineering Several companies are doing researches on tomato. Goal: high-solid tamato ;table tamato Parameter :soluble solids ,consistency THANKS ! * * This rate of improvement can not continue with conventional cross-breeding alone. It is tempting to imagine boosting the nutritional quality of a food crop. And increasing th
