Jigsaw Puzzle : Genetically-engineered sweetcorn & DNA sequence
Jigsaw Puzzles From Science Photo Library
Genetically-engineered sweetcorn & DNA sequence
GM food. Two genetically-modified (GM) cobs of sweetcorn or maize in between which is a DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) fingerprint or sequence. DNA fingerprinting is a technique which allows an organisms individual genetic code to be displayed visually. When a plant is genetically modified, foreign DNA is introduced into the plants genes. Genetic engineering makes it possible to introduce DNA into an organism that may have originated in an entirely different species. The DNA may give the sweetcorn desirable characteristics such as resistance to fungal moulds, but risks tampering with the natural balance of nature

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the fascinating world of genetically-modified (GM) food. In between two visually striking cobs of sweetcorn or maize, we find a DNA fingerprint or sequence, representing the individual genetic code of these modified plants. Genetic engineering has revolutionized agriculture by allowing foreign DNA to be introduced into an organism's genes, even if it originated in an entirely different species. This technique offers immense potential for enhancing crops with desirable characteristics, such as resistance to fungal moulds in the case of this sweetcorn. However, as with any scientific advancement, there are concerns about tampering with nature's delicate balance. The introduction of foreign DNA through genetic modification poses risks that must be carefully evaluated and managed. The image beautifully captures the intersection of genetics and biotechnology. It serves as a reminder that our understanding and manipulation of DNA have opened up new possibilities for improving crop yields and addressing global food security challenges. While this photograph does not mention commercial use explicitly, it highlights the broader implications surrounding genetically-modified foods without delving into specific applications or companies involved in their production. Overall, it invites viewers to contemplate both the promises and ethical considerations associated with genetic engineering in agriculture.
