Genetically Modified Crops and the Myths Associated With Them
By:
Maitree Baral
The various myths and facts associated with GM crops. A dearth of critics continue to question genetically modified crops impacts socially, environmentally and economically upon today's society. But lack of concrete scientific evidence fails to present a clear picture about the various myths surrounding the various qualities as suicides, super-weeds and stealthy genes associated with GM crops. We now undertake a sequential analysis of the various myths surrounding GM crops.

King of Biotech Sentenced to 4 Years Jail for Stock Fraud
By:
Josh Ferguson
On the 2nd of May 2013, a federal judge sentenced David Blech to 4 years prison for stock manipulation. If the name seems familiar, it's because Blech was once called the 'King of Biotech' and was potentially one of the fathers (financial fathers) of the entire biotech industry.

Inductively Coupled Plasma - Mass Spectrometry
By:
Suresh Kaushik
Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) is a type of mass spectrometry which is capable of detecting metals and several non-metals at concentrations as low as one part in 1012 (part per trillion). This is achieved by ionizing the sample with inductively coupled plasma and then using a mass spectrometer to separate and quantify those ions. It is undoubtedly the fastest growing trace element technique available today. It allows determination of elements with atomic mass ranges 7 to 250 and its ability to carry out rapid multi-elements determination at the ultra-trace level have made it very popular in diverse range of applications areas including environment, geochemical, semiconductor, metallurgical, nuclear, chemical, climatic and biotechnology.

Ethanologenic Bacteria and its Development
By:
Meenu Kumar
The rising cost of petroleum along with human dependency on crude-oil imports has opened up an opportunity for chemicals and bio-based fuels to become economically competitive. With new technologies developing on one side, petrochemicals and petroleum-based automotive fuels are effectively replaced with plant and plant-derived materials.

DNA Microarrays and Design Formats
By:
Meenu Kumar
When physiological changes occur, some genes tend to become more active while other genes become inactive. In most biological processes, more than one gene is involved. In order to understand the functioning of an organism, scientists have examined many of an organism's life process simultaneously to understand how they respond to various changes over time.

GREEN MANURING: Economic and Eco-friendly Way of Production
By:
Priti Raj Pandita
A green manure is a remedial approach towards the agriculture. These crops are grown for the benefit of the soil and for turning them back into the soil. Green manure crops are grown to improve the economic viability, while reducing the environmental impacts towards the agriculture.Green manuring help in adding organic matter and nutrients to the soil as well as protecting surface soil from damage

Nanotechnology and its Application in Crop Improvement Programme
By:
Vikas Kumar
Similar to the concept of the 'electronic nose', researchers are developing an 'electronic tongue' with sensors comprised of small electrodes coated with a polymer to detect small amounts of a wide range of chemicals, such as gases released when food is spoiled (Gardner, 2002). This electronic sensor strip can potentially be incorporated into food packages, which will change in colour when the food product is no longer fit to consume.

The Role of Endometrial Cells in Treating Cardiac Failure
By:
Meenu Kumar
Heart failure, as we all know, is one of the major reasons of mortality and morbidity world-wide. Recent findings have stated that heart valve can undergo regeneration, which ideally can eliminate the usage of bovine and porcine valve replacements. This involves the usage of an effective allogeneic product, in conjunction with an effective delivery system.
