Golden Rice 6o6d12

ASSALAMUALAIKUM

what is the staple food we eat everyday?

RICE

Why do they ??

V I TA M I N A D E F I C I E N C Y Across the world, 125 million children particularly those in countries grown-suffer from vitamin deficiency A cause blindness and death.

Why is vitamin A important? For children, a lack of vitamin A causes severe visual impairments and blindness and significantly increases the risk of severe illness, and even death, from common infections such as diarrhea and measles

GOLDEN RICE??

The Golden Rice Story • Vitamin A deficiency is a major health problem •Influen Causes blindness •ces severity of diarrhea, measles

• >100 million children suffer from the problem • For many countries, the infrastructure doesn’t exist to deliver vitamin pills • Improved vitamin A content in widely consumed crops an attractive alternative

PRODUCTION OF GOLDEN RICE Through the work of two European scientists, Dr. Ingo Potrykus of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich and Dr. Peter Beyer of the University of Freiburg in , rice plants were developed containing two daffodil genes and one bacterial gene that carry out the four steps required for the production of beta-carotene in rice endosperm.

Engineered to the golden rice well so that seeds can contain beta carotene and yellowish orange??

PROCEDURE

-Carotene Pathway Problem in Plants IPP Geranylgeranyl diphosphate Phytoene synthase

Phytoene

Problem: Rice lacks these enzymes

Phytoene desaturase ξ-carotene desaturase

Lycopene Lycopene-beta-cyclase Normal Vitamin A “Deficient” Rice

 -carotene (vitamin A precursor)

The Golden Rice Solution -Carotene Pathway Genes Added IPP Geranylgeranyl diphosphate Daffodil gene

Phytoene synthase

Phytoene Vitamin A Pathway is complete and functional

Phytoene desaturase Single bacterial gene; performs both functions

ξ-carotene desaturase

Lycopene Daffodil gene Golden Rice

Lycopene-beta-cyclase

 -carotene (vitamin A precursor)

CONTENT OF GOLDEN RICE Beta carotene is a substance yellowish orange color, like the carrot plants. Golden rice contains betakarotena and in the human body will

BENEFITS OF GOLDEN RICE

The benefits of the manufacture of golden rice (golden rice) is able to provide the recommended.

T H E D I S A DVA N TA G E OF GOLDEN RICE

LAST DEVELOPMENT

The emergence of golden rice in 2000 immediately received a strong reaction from the opposition GMO (genetically modified organism)

Opposition and delay

WHAT CAN WE DO NEXT?? we can do research on golden rice planted if it can transmit the mutation properties of natural plant to another or not.
