Jigsaw Puzzle : Genetically-modified pollen grains
Jigsaw Puzzles from Science Photo Library
Genetically-modified pollen grains
Genetically-modified pollen. Conceptual composite image of a coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of maize pollen grains (Zea mays) labelled with biohazard symbols. This may represent genetic modification, which alters the genes of a plant in order to confer desirable characteristics. For example, crop plants may be engineered to be resistant to certain pests or herbicides, or to increase their nutrient content. There is concern over the safety of foods that contain material from GM plants, as well as the possibility of contamination of non-GM crops. Magnification unknown

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate world of genetically-modified pollen grains. In this conceptual composite image, we are presented with a mesmerizing colored scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of maize pollen grains labeled with biohazard symbols. These symbols serve as a representation of genetic modification, a process that alters the genes of plants to confer desirable characteristics. Genetic modification holds immense potential in agriculture, enabling scientists to engineer crop plants that exhibit resistance against pests or herbicides while also increasing their nutrient content. However, it is not without its controversies and concerns. The safety of foods containing material from genetically modified (GM) plants remains an ongoing debate, raising questions about potential health risks and the possibility of contaminating non-GM crops. The magnification level used for capturing this extraordinary image remains unknown but serves as a reminder of the hidden wonders within our natural world. This artwork beautifully combines elements from botany, biology, and genetics to create an intriguing visual representation of plant biotechnology research. Presented by Science Photo Library, this thought-provoking print invites us to ponder the complexities surrounding GM technology while appreciating its artistic beauty. It symbolizes both the promise and caution associated with genetic modification in agriculture – offering us a glimpse into a future where science intersects with nature's bounty.
