Purple sweet potato, cherry tomato, colored corn, colored pepper, these fruits and vegetables are genetically modified? At the market scene, Weibo WeChat platforms are often asked by consumers about these issues. In fact, the natural plant species are rich and varied. About 12,000 years ago, human agriculture and settled life began. Civilization and humanity continued to acclimatize plants. Finally, they screened and nurtured these varieties that we eat daily. Some of the plants that we are currently seeing are less common in color and traits, many of which are hybrids or are naturally found in nature. The vast majority of globally developed GM crops, especially those that have been approved for commercial planting (that is to say, can be circulated into our table), are mostly transferred to "insect-resistant" or "resistance to herbicides". Genes, these characteristics are difficult to distinguish from the appearance. Everything teaches you to distinguish GM from the appearance, it is all in rogue! Naturally endowed our food with sufficient diversity, there is no need to blindly resist and panic in the face of our unfamiliar species. Today's city fair will introduce several common "picked up" ingredients. 1 Douchi No. 1 | Purple Sweet Potato The purple sweet potato was successfully bred by Japanese researchers in the late 1990s and was introduced to China in 2002. Purple sweet potato and eggplant, blueberries, and grapes contain many anthocyanins. Purple sweet potato is also rich in anti-cancer substances, selenium, iodine, calcium, zinc content is also high, is one of the ideal health food. 2 Douchi No. 2 | Small tomatoes have many aliases, cherry tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, because the head is too mini, often discussed "is it right?" In fact, it is a part of the tomato family. The tomatoes we usually eat are cultivars, and the small tomatoes are the ancestors of cultivated tomatoes. 3 Sinus 3 | Cut open potatoes Potatoes should be placed in water after cutting, otherwise they will turn black! Probably everyone listened to parents when they were playing in the kitchen when they were young. The potatoes turn black because of the oxidative browning reaction of polyphenols. The degree of this reaction is related to many factors, such as the potato variety, ah, storage conditions, temperature and time after cutting. There are relationships. All in all, because blackening affects aesthetics (the bizarre aesthetic taste of humans++) breeders have been working on cultivating potato varieties that are not easily oxidized and darkened, and they can be completely cultivated through traditional breeding methods. 4 Dou Su 4 | Do not germinate soy often hear people say that the current soybeans are not budding, it is certainly genetically modified, right? Actually, soybeans do not germinate for two reasons. One is the "Terminator" technique. This technique is simply: soak soybean seeds in tetracycline solution before planting so that seeds can normally produce soybeans. However, the harvested soybeans cannot germinate again. Why do you have such a reckless technology? In fact, this is a method that seed companies in foreign countries have come up with in order to allow farmers to purchase new seeds every year. However, Terminator technology has nothing to do with genetic modification, and our country currently prohibits the application of this technology in seed industry. In addition, the real reason why soybeans do not germinate is that your soybeans may have died. For example, soybeans will die after being stored at low temperature for too long. Soybeans will die if their fat content is too high. Soybean protein activity will also be too low. . . In short, your soy bean is really vulnerable to die. 5 Douchi No. 5 | Caijiao Pepper has different colors because it contains different types of anthocyanins. Variations of anthocyanins are common in plants, and there are different colors in the same species as flowers. In fact, China has approved the commercial cultivation of anti-virus sweet peppers. Officials have given explanations that compared with conventional sweet peppers, GM sweet peppers have no obvious advantage and have been eliminated by the market. 6 Dou Tao No.6 | Black Peanut Black Peanut is because the gene that controls the color of peanut skin is different from that of red skin. This gene exists in nature and is not a contribution of transgenic technology. 7 Dou Tao No. 7 | Color corn is also because of the special color, so that everyone has doubts, but in fact is also a breed selected by hybridization, and has nothing to do with genetically modified. 8 Douyu No.8 | Red Heart Dragon Fruit Dragon Heart Dragon fruit is a subspecies of dragon fruit. This purple fruit pulp dragon fruit was first discovered by the French in its natural environment. Similar to purple sweet potato, it is the pulp of red heart dragon fruit. It is also rich in anthocyanins, so it shows the bright purple color we see. Well, if we have not dispelled everyone's doubts, let's look at an extreme example - carrots. If I say that the initial carrot is yellow or purple instead of orange, you must think I am crazy. Actually, “crazy†is a Dutch-wild carrot that has been domesticated as a vegetable in West Asia for a long time, long time ago, but it is not orange. Later, the Netherlands started to rise. The trade and gardening is double-hearted, and the carrots are bred into the Dutch royal family. Color - orange, and spread around the world. The time for discoloration is probably around the 17th century, when there was certainly no genetically modified technology. The above crops are actually equivalent to carrots 400 years ago. Of course, no one doubts that carrots are genetically modified. Air Conditioner Bracket,Aircon Bracket,Ac Support Bracket,Air Conditioner Support Bracket LONG TERM ELEC.
