Team members of the RIPE project transplanting seedlings for the 2016 field trials. RIPE is engineering crops that more efficiently turn the sun's energy into food. This project could increase yields by as much as 60% to help smallholder farmers in Sub-Saharan Africa and Southeast Asia feed their communities and provide for their families.

Went to the lab today for some genetic engineering. I thought I'd go with a Valentine Theme and create a lovemouse, hope you like it.
About 250 people joined the "March Against Monsanto" in Denver, Colorado, one of 400 marches worldwide. (10/12/13) The actions were to protest Monsanto's production and use of GMO's, pesticides, herbicides and genetically engineered seeds.

During photosynthesis in C3 crops, such as wheat and rice, the enzyme Rubisco will react with oxygen (instead of carbon dioxide) creating a plant-toxic compound that must be recycled, wasting energy. In this greenhouse experiment, six-week-old plants engineered to more efficiently process the toxic compound (front right) are visibly larger than an unmodified plant (front left).
Realizing Increased Photosynthetic Efficiency (RIPE) is engineering plants to more efficiently turn the sun’s energy into food to sustainably increase worldwide food productivity. The international research project is funded by a $25 million grant from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.

Greenpeace activists dressed as "GMO monster crops" are blocked by security from entering the Department of Agriculture. Greenpeace together with other concerned organizations are demanding the Philippine government to "stop GMO invasion" by cancelling all commercialization and field trials of genetically-modified organisms in the country.
The Department of Agriculture, responsible for regulating GMOs, has never denied approval for any GMO crop. Greenpeace contends that GMOs are dangerous to human health, biodiversity and farmers’ livelihoods.
