Undernourishment and malnutrition are severe problems in the developing world. Many people—about a billion of them—eat primarily staple grain crops and do not get enough protein. Protein deficiency ...
Exploring the potential of betalain-engineered vegetables in conferring anti-inflammatory properties
Metabolic engineering is a field of plant biotechnology that seeks to genetically modify plant metabolic pathways to generate plant varieties with improved health benefits. Recently, scientists from ...
Betalains are a class of plant pigments that are responsible for the characteristic red-violet (betacyanin) or yellow (betaxanthin) color of certain fruits and vegetables. These naturally occurring, ...
Japanese scientists look to create vegetables with anti-inflammatory properties using plant pigments
A team at the Tokyo University of Science and Iwate Biotechnology Research Center have successfully genetically engineered tomatoes to produce the plant pigment betalain with significant ...
FARGO, N.D. -- Twenty years after scientists at North Dakota State University were among the first to conduct genetically modified potato research trials in the U.S., J.R. Simplot Co. has received U.S ...
A genetically modified (GM) potato has been created that makes up to 60 per cent more protein per gram than ordinary potatoes. But even with that help spuds don’t contain much protein, so that’s not ...
