Plant Breeding: GMO, Cross Pollination & Cross Breeding Explained
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 жов 2024
- Watch as Dr. Kevin Folta, a leading biotechnology and science communicator, explains the concept of plant breeding and the differences between genetically modified organisms, cross-pollination plants (or self-pollination) and cross-breeding plants.
What is the difference between cross-pollination and cross-breeding?
Cross-pollination occurs naturally between sexually compatible plants while cross-breeding is a process facilitated by humans. GMO plants differ because they have been genetically modified in order to introduce a specific trait to a plant.
What is the importance of GMOs and plant breeding in agriculture?
You may wonder why we would even need this when a plant can reproduce naturally? Imagine being able to take the gene or a set of genetic genes from one plant and being able to transfer them into another? Now consider what it would mean if that new gene was able to make the host plant more superior in some way - like being able to resist a certain pest or withstand drought-stricken conditions. This would result in saving a crop from destruction or achieving higher crop yields.

Thank you. The explanation was lucid and very helpful.
Great video Dr Folta! you could have included mutagenesis, takes the yuk factor out of GMO. But it needs to be short I understand
Why people are so mad about GMO? Its all for betterment and natural (if it wouldnt be, plant would die), we are just helping the nature by fastening the process of evolution, by giving some traits which they would get in millions of years on their own.
Keita Marislo not all of it. Round up corn, Monsanto made a gene they implented into the crop that made the corn resistant to the round up chemicals. So now a chemical that kills all of the weeds, and insects... good or bad, can be sprayed on our food in order to make work easier for them. Or to raise profit
@@Mrbikesallot You try, but fail, to make that seem like a bad thing. Farmers asked for this valuable trait that saves them time, money and use of more toxic pesticides. You lied about killing insects - glyphosate is a herbicide, NOT an insecticide!!
There you go, a$$ holing it up again. Farmers did NOT ask for roundup ready seed. Effing shill.
Thanks Kevin for the informative video free of misleading click bait thumbnails, sensationalist title or anti-science garbage. Your standards should be a model for other videos to live up to.
If I hear one more ignoramus spouting off about genetically modified crops...
Thanks for the video. I'm glad to see someone explaining this sort of thing with out pushing an agenda.
Redimus He's clearly pushing and agenda by not disclosing the full truth about that information.
Carlos just spouted an ignorant conspiracy theory.
Riiiiight...and having a former Monsanto exec put in charge of the FDA was just a coincidence, correct? No agenda there at all, right?
@@davidschmidt6013 That is correct. No agenda at all. There are a limited number of biotech experts. There is no rule that former Monsanto workers must be shot in the head when they leave the company, they have the right to pursue a job like everyone else. In cases like this, ever new hire must sign a binding contract of conflict of interest clauses and confidentiality. Every industry has workers moving around. Your foil hat is too tight.
If i have a herm like a petunia and a strawberry,
Would they accept the pollen to form a new hybrid?
Interesting
Why is/are there so much hate for GMO foods?
Using pesticides, sure, I understand the protest to that, but why the protest and fuss over GMO foods?
A lot of misinformation about the science and technology involved with GMOs, just like there's a lot of misinformation about so many things these days.

Yo, good morning sir & Thank You for responding! Listening to the video definitely got my attention, and made me want to do my own research!!
I found this by mistake. I was looking for information about Self Pollination, & Cross Pollination, in regards to my indoor cactus garden.
Well, have a great day sir, and thank you again for responding sir :)
Can we pollinate 2 plants of different species
If no , why
Not sure of the exact question here.
No, because they are not Sexually Compatible.
Number of people or animals killed by GMO food worldwide: 0
Number of people who got sick from GMO foods worldwide: 0
Number of global catastrophes caused by GMOs: 0
You make GMO sound so innocent. Changing the DNA of a plant of Frankinstein food.
Humans have done something called "grafting" which isn't GMO for millennia, well it kinda is since it turned out that the the act of grafting made genes travel from one plant to another without any intention of the farmers, but another point is that grafting is allot more like how Frankensteins monster is stitched together with different body parts. GMO's are nothing like that.
No new life forms can be approved by the FDA. GMOs must pass the substantial equivalency requirement. 'Franken' is by definition the word of science illiterate people.
Strawberries are a GMO though. We have wild strawberries and they're way smaller and tastier than store bought. The ones in the store were bred to make bigger strawberries. They're one of the few GMOs that actually backfired in being better. Though its bigger, it lost its taste quality.
Incorrect. There are no GMO strawberries. Conventional breeding has provided all we need in this case. Each of hundreds of breeds have their own traits, each crop varies in size depending on weather and soil. Thousands of UA-cam losers refuse to grasp that they slowly lose taste buds as they age. Wild strawberries are not a solution, they produce far too littler per acre. You are not willing to pay $10 a quart for them so shut up.

Damn......That was a great response Sir!
You know nature never do this , cut it out … .
Except the many many times nature does it. You can do your part and stop eating, if you feel so strongly about it.
Thomas Baldwin trust me, the day you can demonstrate a plant that bred itself into other plant by natural design drawin will flip on his grave
Illidan Stormrage Like the time bacteria bred itself into every sweet potato. Or just about any one of the mustard varieties and hybrids. Mutagenesis makes completely novel genetic combinations and yet you consider it organic.
Illidan Stormrage You do not know enough about biology to know what would change our basic understanding of it.
Thomas Baldwin I do NOT what?
Devils
Yes, genetically illiterate people like you act as devils, spreading lies and bad karma.
