"Masterpieces"

Genetically modified organisms created by genetic engineering - the science that allows you to enter into the genome of a plant, animal or microorganism DNA fragment from any other organism to give it certain properties.
Argue about their dangers or benefits is endless. But better still to know that was introduced into the composition of what we eat, than to dwell in blissful ignorance.




1. Plants
Intra mutants. Many probably remember the miniature kamediklabovtsev about perdynyu and ovchador

.

Gizyum or "giant raisins." This giant raisins made from grapes, by changing its genetic code. The experiments took place in the Japanese National Institute of Genetics. Taste of raisins has not changed, you can now eat a few berries and be satisfied.


Vinogryabloko grapes came from crosses with apple. The size and shape of the fruit is similar to an apple, but the flesh and the skin resembles grapes. Taste combines the features of both fruits.


Slibrikos - a hybrid of plum and apricot.


Greydarin combines, you guessed it, grapefruit and tangerine.


Multi-colored carrots. I hope that with taste of carrots

.


Limodor, founded by Israeli scientists from the lemon and tomato. Destination unknown.


Interclass mutants.

The tomato Arctic flounder gene is introduced, giving the plant frost.
Potatoes got a gene bacteria, whose venom is deadly to the Colorado potato beetle.
The wheat gene scorpion implemented, giving the plants resistant to drought.
Rice received a human gene (!), Is responsible for the composition of breast milk, which makes the grass more nutritious.

2. Animals
Glow in the dark rabbit and mice that received by a jellyfish gene for fluorescence.




The benefits of these experiments can only guess.

3. Man
The first genetically modified people already born in the UK. The experiment was conducted at the request of a couple who wanted to spare the child from a gene that was the source of the disease in several generations.
