Unfinished journey (24)
(Part duapuluhempat, Depok, West Java, Indonesia, 1
September 2014, 6:04 pm)
One of my favorites when I visit Thailand, especially
Bangkok, when the streets around the hotel or traditional market is looking
fruits such as guava, durian or melon.
As in Jakarta in Bangkok we also see many fruit seller
driven carts traveling salesman selling a variety of different pieces that have
been placed blocks of ice to keep fresh fruit and cold,
With a very cheap price, different if we buy in the super
market or order it in a hotel room of course the price could go up several
fold.
I really enjoy durian Bangkok and Bangkok guava,
watermelon is also red, besides the sweet fruit was soft.
As we all know Thailand has long been known ahead in
terms of development of agricultural biotechnology, especially fruits, and even
many in the export. I remember in 1982 and also in 1995 ago when I visited San
Diego, California, I was with my brother often monthly shopping in a
supermarket owned by Asian, such as Vietnam or the Philippines origin. In this
SuperMarket available a variety of different fruits ranging from fresh fruits
to fruits in cans (in the form of sweets) from the type of durian, salak,
rambutan, jackfruit up almost entirely imported from Thailand. The only items
from Indonesia only '' Ting-Ting Ginger '. (From ginger candy).
Though Indonesia's land area and number of Indonesian
farmers much more, where Indonesian fruits' 'only champion'.
Likewise in Jakarta, the workers in Bangkok always took
time in between breaks they transform and buy fruits that are sold on the
street.
After enjoying the fruits of my new Bangkok traveling to
tourist sites in Bangkok and other tourist locations in Thailand.
Biotechnology
Indonesian From
Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Biotechnology is a branch of science that studies the use
of living organisms (bacteria, fungi, viruses, etc.) or products of living
organisms (enzymes, alcohol) in the production process to produce goods and
services. [1] Recently, the development of biotechnology not only based on
biology alone, but also on applied sciences and other pure, such as
biochemistry, computers, molecular biology, microbiology, genetics, chemistry,
mathematics, and so forth. [1] in other words, biotechnology is an applied
science that combines various branch of science in the production process of
goods and services.
Biotechnology simply been known by humans since thousands
of years ago. For example, in the field of food technology is brewing, bread,
and cheese that has been known since the 19th century, plant breeding to
produce new varieties in agriculture, and animal breeding and reproduction. [2]
In the medical field, the application biotechnology in the past evidenced among
other things by the discovery of vaccines, antibiotics, and insulin, although
in limited quantities due to the fermentation process is not perfect.
Significant changes occurred after the discovery by Louis Pasteur bioreactor.
[1] With this tool, the production of antibiotics and vaccines can be done in
bulk.
Ads by OffersWizard × At this time, biotechnology is
growing very rapidly, especially in developed countries. Progress is marked by
the discovery of a variety of technologies such as genetic engineering, tissue
culture, recombinant DNA, stem cell proliferation, cloning, and others. [3]
This technology allows us to obtain the cure genetic diseases or chronic,
incurable, such as cancer or AIDS. [4] Research in the field of stem cell
development also allows the stroke patients or other diseases that result in
loss or damage to body tissues can recover to normal. [4] in the field of food,
using the technology of genetic engineering, tissue culture and recombinant DNA,
can produce plants with characteristics and superior products because they
contain more nutrients than normal plants, and also more resistant to pests or
environmental stresses. [5] the application of biotechnology in the future can
also be found on the preservation of the environment from pollution . For
example, the decomposition of oil spilled into the sea by the bacteria, and the
decomposition of substances that are toxic (poison) in a river or sea by using
a new type of bacteria. [2]

Progress in biotechnology could not be separated from the
various controversies surrounding the development of the technology. For
example, the technology of cloning and genetic engineering on food crops come
under fire from various groups.
Biotechnology generally means improving the quality of an
organism through the application of technology. Application of these
technologies can modify the biological functions of an organism by adding genes
from other organisms or manipulating genes in these organisms. [2]
Biological changes in the nature × through the genetic
engineering lead to "the birth of a new organism" biotechnology
products with properties - properties that are beneficial for humans.
Biotechnology products, among others [2]:
Maize resistant insect pests
Cotton resistant insect pests
Virus resistant papaya
Enzyme boosters milk production in cows
Rice contains vitamin A
Bananas contain hepatitis vaccine

Type [edit | edit source]
Biotechnology has some kind or branch of science that
some of them diasosikan with colors, namely: [10]
Beer, one of the conventional white biotechnology
products.
Red biotechnology (red biotechnology) is the branch of
science that studies the application of biotechnology in the field of medical
biotechnology. [10] Coverage spans the entire spectrum of human medication,
ranging from preventive stage, diagnosis, and treatment. Examples of its
application is the use of organisms to produce drugs and vaccines, the use of
stem cells for regenerative medicine, and gene therapy to treat genetic
diseases by inserting or replacing abnomal genes with normal genes. [10]
Biotechnology white / gray (white / gray biotechnology)
is biotechnology applied in industries such as the development and production
of new compounds as well as the manufacture of renewable energy sources. [10]
By manipulating microorganisms such as bacteria and yeast or yeast, enzymes and
organisms better have been created to facilitate the production and processing
of industrial waste. Leaching (bleaching) of oil and minerals from the soil
improved its efficiency for mining, and manufacturing of beer with yeast. [10]
Green biotechnology (green biotechnology) studied the
application of biotechnology in agriculture and animal husbandry. [10] In
agriculture, biotechnology has been instrumental in producing pest-resistant
crops, food with higher nutritional content and medicinal plants or compounds
that generate useful. Meanwhile, in the field of animal husbandry, the animals
have been used as "bioreactors" to produce important products for
example goats, cows, sheep, and chickens have been used as a producer of protective
antibodies-proteins that help cells recognize and fight foreign substances
(antigens). [10]
Blue biotechnology (blue biotechnology) is also called
biotechnology controlling aquatic or aquatic processes that occur in the
aquatic environment. [10] One of the oldest examples is Aquaculture, growing
finned fish or shellfish under controlled conditions as a source of food, (an
estimated 30% of fish consumed worldwide is produced by the Aquaculture). The
development of aquatic biotechnology including genetic engineering to produce
disease-resistant oysters and a vaccine against a virus that attacks the salmon
and other fish. Another example is a transgenic salmon that have excessive
growth hormone resulting in a very high growth rate in a short period of time.
[11] [12]
Genetic engineering [edit | edit source]
Genetic engineering is a basic procedure in producing a
product of biotechnology. In general, genetic engineering make modifications in
living beings through the transfer of genes from one organism to another.
Genetic engineering procedures generally include [2]:
isolation of genes
Modify genes so that a better biological function
Transfer the gene into a new organism
Forming products of genetically modified organisms
Creation of transgenic organisms procedure there are two,
namely:
Through the introduction of genes
Through the process of mutagenesis
The process of introduction of genes [edit | edit source]
Some basic steps are the introduction of genes [2]:
Form the desired gene sequences were characterized with
specific marker
Transforming gene sequences that have been marked to the
network
Culturing tissue already contains genes that transformed
The culture trials in the field
Mutagenesis [edit | edit source]
Modifying genes in the organism by replacing the nitrogen
bases in the DNA sequence that is to be replaced by other nitrogen bases
resulting in a change in the nature of the organism, for example: the original
nature does not become resistant pest resistant pests. Mutagenesis agent is
usually known as mutagens. Some examples of mutagens that are commonly used
gamma rays (physical mutagens) and ethyl methane sulfonate (chemical mutagens).
[5]
Human Genome Project [edit | edit source]
Human Genome Project is an international effort that
began in 1990 to identify all of the genes (the genome) contained in the DNA of
human cells and map the location of each human chromosome numbering 24. [12]
This project has unlimited potential for growth in the approach diagnostics for
disease detection and molecular approaches to treat human genetic diseases.
[12]
Applications in Medical Field [edit | edit source]
Application of biotechnology medical longstanding, for
example 100 years ago leech commonly used to treat diseases by letting leeches suck
the blood of patients (bloodletting). It is believed to eliminate blood that
has been infected with the disease. In the current era, leeches were found to
have enzymes in salivary glands that can destroy blood clots if not destroyed
can cause strokes and heart attacks. In addition to these examples, there are
many biotechnological applications in the medical field as follows.
Stem Cells [edit | edit source]
Stem cells are the specialized cell types with the
ability to reshape itself and in the same time to form specialized cells.
Therapeutic application of embryonic stem cells in Degenerative Diseases. In
the Mirror World Medical, although most cells in the body such as the heart and
liver has been formed specifically to meet the particular function, stem cells
are always in a state of undifferentiated until there is a certain signal that
directs differentiate into specific cell types. Ability to proliferate along
with the ability to differentiate into specific cell types is what makes it
unique. Biological characteristics and focus on differentiation of mesenchymal
stem cells stem cells. Mirror World Medical
Application of stem cells include the treatment of cardiac
infarction using stem cells derived from bone marrow cells to replace the
damaged vessels (neovascularization). Therapeutic applications of embryonic
stem cells in a variety of degenerative diseases. In addition, stem cells could
be expected to be used for the treatment of diabetes type I by replacing
damaged pancreatic cells with pancreatic cells results stem cell
differentiation. This is done to avoid rejection reaction that can occur as the
pancreas transplant from an animal. So far the experiment has been successfully
performed in mice.

- Fusion of Protoplasts
Protoplast fusion is a natural process that is contained
from start
low-level crop up in higher plants. protoplast fusion
is a combination of protoplasts with other protoplasts
from several species,
then forming cells that can grow into a plant hybrid.
Somatic hybridization via protoplast fusion is used to
combine the properties of other two species or genus that
can not be
sexually or asexually combined. This can be done
by combining the entire genome of the same species
(intraspesies),
or between species of the same genus (inter-species), or
antargenus of one family (inter genus).
When plants were wounded, the number of cells called
callus will grow
in place of the injured. Callus cells have the ability to
differentiate into shoots and roots and whole plants

protoplast fusion.
Protoplast fusion goal is to get a hybrid somatic or
sibrida or overcome the weakness of the sexual hybrid,
namely:
o It is difficult to get a hybrid between species and

Another touch of biotechnology is also done for tobacco
plants
for example by increasing the aroma using aroma gene of
other plants. The one that has been successful is joining
them
with a lemon scent.
- Transgenic Plant Technology
Transgenic plants are plants that have been infiltrated
by foreign DNA
as a carrier of the desired properties. DNA can be
derived from
different plant types. To produce transgenic plants
and genetic engineering techniques are needed as a
carrier of the gene vector properties
desired. DNA is used as a vector derived from
bacterium Agrobacterium tumefaciens is better known as Ti
plasmid (tumor-inducing plasmid). Ti plasmid has the
ability to
entry into plant cells during infection.
Transgenic technology has been carried out on some
agricultural crops
such as corn, cotton, tomatoes, rice, soy, and papaya. In
soybeans have
included several genes that cause variation in soybean
plants.
In the corn crop has been incorporated cry genes from
Bacillus thuringiensis ×
called Bt corn, corn produces a protein that causes
that can kill insects, such as butterflies.
GM crops do not need to be sprayed with pesticides to get
rid of
pests and diseases, because the insertion of the gene
will produce
compounds endotoxins (toxic compounds) so that transgenic
plants can
membrantas pests with toxic compounds it contains.

The beauty of the Grand Palace is very intriguing.
Arguably the most beautiful building in Thailand. Built in 1782, and was
becoming a palace for the kings of Thailand for approximately 150 years. The
combination of western and Thai architecture looks very beautiful, features
English-style gardens. Although now not be a palace residence of the king of
Thailand again, but still the Grand Palace in Bangkok attractions most visited
by tourists.
At the Grand Palace complex also contained the most
sacred temples throughout Thailand, where there are the most sacred Buddha
statue. Buddha statue height is only about 66 cm was made in the 14th century.
Only His Majesty the King of Thailand is allowed to touch and change clothes
Emeral Buddha. In one year there were three times the ceremony to replace the
clothes of the Buddha, namely summer, winter and rainy season. This event is
intended to bring good luck to the country of Thailand in every season. Do not
forget if you enter the Grand Palace should wear decent clothes, ie shirt
sleeves (not tank tops), do not wear shorts or sandals. Entrance to the Grand
Palace - 500 baht.
