South Asia Biotechnology Centre Invites Public Comments to Support GE Mustard
Section: News from Around the World
The South Asia Biotechnology Centre (SABC) is inviting the public to submit comments in favor of the barnase-barstar technology and genetically engineered (GE) mustard hybrid DMH-11 to the Indian Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change (MOEF). The barnase-barstar technology and GE mustard hybrid DMH-11, rigorously assessed for biosafety over the last decade by regulatory agencies in India, is as safe as conventional mustard, and does not raise any public health or safety concerns for human beings or animal or environment.

The technical sub-committee of India's Genetic Engineering Appraisal Committee (GEAC) thoroughly evaluated the safety of GE mustard and released the Assessment of Food and Environmental Safety (AFES) report published on the MOEF&CC website for public comments from September 5 to October 5, 2016. Public comments are of great value to the 6 million mustard farmers in India, who experience low yields. The farmers need access to GE mustard and allow Brassica breeding research groups to use barnase-barstar technology to develop superior mustard hybrids.

To send comments, go to the SABC Campaign "Support High-Yielding GE Mustard Technology". For more information, join the campaign on GE Mustard Technology

Plant Nutrition 3: Micronutrients and metals - In the third of three lessons spanning the topic of Plant Nutrition, we examine how micronutrients affect both plants and humans. Specifically, we examine the functions of the nine essential micronutrients Fe, Cu, Zn, Mn, Mo, Ni, B, Si and Cl with a particular focus on the unique chemistry of the metal micronutrients. Because the optimal concentration range of most micronutrients is quite narrow in the plant body, plants employ strategies at both the low end and high end of the optimal nutrient range to avoid deficiency and toxicity effects, although some plants hyperaccumulate micronutrients for defensive purposes. Efforts to improve human nutrition through biofortification, particularly of Fe, Zn and Se are discussed. We further examine how plants and people are affected by the toxic elements As, Cd and Al, and efforts to alleviate their harm through our understanding of plant micronutrition.

"Strong Muscles Stop Stress-induced Sadness"
Rachael Moeller Gorman
Researchers have discovered one big reason why exercise improves depression, and it has everything to do with muscle. This is the first time that a mechanism in the muscle has been shown to have a direct effect on the brain. Could scientists use this information to create anti-depressants that work without ever entering the mind?

Global Plants in the Classroom Welcome to Global Plants in the Classroom: Botany 101. This guide to using Global Plants as a teaching resource consists of nine units that introduce basic concepts in the study of botany (see list below). Each unit includes key concepts, vocabulary, and example materials. We have also selected Glob…
