Golden Rice is genetically modified rice that contains three introduced genes capable of beta-carotene synthesis, giving the rice kernels a golden yellow color. It was developed to combat vitamin A deficiency, a major cause of blindness and death in children in Southeast Asia where rice is a staple food but does not provide vitamin A. The development of Golden Rice involved transferring three genes - two from daffodils and one from bacteria - to allow the rice to produce beta-carotene. While it provides a sustainable solution and its seeds can be resown, Golden Rice also faces challenges in increasing its beta-carotene levels and transferring the genes to local rice varieties.
Golden Rice – A Humanitarian Biotechnology Projectsol777
Presentation of Golden Rice Co-inventor Peter Beyer, professor at the university of Freiburg, at the Comm4Biotech conference 2011 in Strasbourg - more information on http://www.comm4biotech.eu .
Golden rice is a variety of rice (Oryza sativa) produced through genetic engineering to biosynthesize beta-carotene, a precursor of vitamin A, in the edible parts of rice.It is intended to produce a fortified food to be grown and consumed in areas with a shortage of dietary vitamin A, a deficiency which each year is estimated to kill 670,000 children under the age of 5 and cause an additional 500,000 cases of irreversible childhood blindness. Rice is a staple food crop for over half of the world's population, providing 30–72% of the energy intake for people in Asian countries, and becoming an effective crop for targeting vitamin deficiencies.
This will be helpful to understand the importance of golden rice to allivate vitamin A deficiency and also to learn the basic technique of Golden Rice Development

A description of the history, variation in methods/ approaches for biofortifying rice, benefits and challenges faced with biofortified rice and consequences for future generations..
I have discussed the Agrobacterium-mediated gene cloning process. In genetic engineering process transfer of genes from one organism to the other. Desired DNA is inserted into a vector and is transferred into the competent cell in a process is called transformation. All these steps are carried out in laboratories to engineer the desired organism genetically. The entire process of transformation is performed by scientists, known as genetic engineers.
On the other hand, the bacterium Agrobacterium tumefaciens contains inside its a cell, a plasmid, i.e., an extrachromosomal self-replicating small DNA, known as Ti plasmid (tumor-inducing plasmid) that induce overproduction of growth factors in the host cells eventually leading to cell proliferation & tumor formation. This bacterium establishes contact with suitable root cells of plants by recognizing chemical signals and then prepares its plasmid ready to be delivered through t-pilus developed by type IV secretion system. Then, it transfers this DNA (also known as t-DNA) into the plant host cell. This delivery requires the assistance of several vir proteins. The t-DNA is transferred and stably integrated into the host chromosome which later wards lead in tumor development in the host. The whole process of successful DNA transfer and integration is performed & monitored by the bacteria itself. So, Agrobacterium tumefaciens is called the Natural genetic engineers of plants.
Status of Transgenics in Pest Management: Global and Indian ScenarioJayantyadav94
A transgenic crop plant contains a foreign gene or group of genes which have been artificially inserted instead of the plant acquiring them through pollination. Up to 17 million farmers in 24 countries planted 189.8 million hectares (469 million acres) in 2017, an increase of 3% or 4.7 million hectares (11.6 million acres) from 2016.
Genetic Engineering in Insect Pest management Mohd Irshad
gene incorporation is gaining attention across the globe with the aim of improving plant health, crop protection, and sustainable crop production. This versatile method of Scientific cultivation should be adopted by the growers as it has been investigated and assessed by experts and environmentalists. There is not any kind of toxic effect on mammalian.

Solutions for Impact in Emerging Markets: The role of biotechnologyICRISAT
To develop and deploy state-of-the-art infrastructure for conduct of transgenic research and to act as a clearinghouse for technology inputs, transgenic research leads/ prototypes with proof of concept derived from Indian research institutes, universities, and other likely sources.Also to evolve the technology to a point where a practical application can be demonstrated, and transfer this “evolved” technology for product development and distribution to appropriate agencies.
The Green Revolution was based on the spread of new wheat H.Y.V.s from Mexico and rice from the Philippines. It was the result of an intensive plant breeding programme that relied on brilliant applied science and some luck which indeed saved the lives of one billion people. But the task of feeding the world will be even more difficult in years to come. By 2050 the world’s population will exceed nine billion, and combined environmental crises mean that we must produce much more food on less land with less water, fewer agrochemicals and less fossil fuel, while still maintaining biodiversity (Conway and Toenniessen, 1999).
The pioneering work of Marc Van Montagu, Mary-Dell Chilton, and Robert Fraley contributed to the emergence of a new term, "agricultural biotechnology," and set the stage for second green revolution with novel traits (world food prize, 2017). However, over regulation is hindering its adoption, especially in agriculture. Field trials for 21 GM food crops, including GM vegetables and cereals have been approved by the government though commercial cultivation of GM food has not been permitted by any State government in India till now (Vidya Venkat, 2016). Currently, India has the world’s fifth largest GM crop acreage surpassing China’s 3.9 million hectares (mh), while equaling that of Canada’s 13.1 mh (ISAAA, 2017). There have been dramatic increases in the total acreage planted. soybeans (50%), Corn (30%), cotton (14%) and canola (5%) are the major biotech crops grown commercially on a large scale and have become an integral part of international agricultural production and trade.
Biotechnologies, from traditional breeding methods to genetic manipulation in the laboratory, have been shown to have both positive and negative potentialities. Scientists have a responsibility for the knowledge and technical innovations that they produce but the outcomes mainly depend upon economic, political and social factors. It seems essential that individual governments and the international community regulate both the science and the commercial applications.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.
