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]

Durian

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

In 1992 the FDA approved the first GM food from Calgene: tomato "flavor saver".

2000 completion of the Human Genome Project

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.

INTRODUCTION

Rear 1.1.Latar

In everyday reality, the application of modern biotechnology to fulfillment

human needs are still closely associated with the use of biotechnology

Conventional which has evolved much earlier. in the provision of

food, people still rely on conventional technology to produce

quality and plant seeds in the cropping process.

For example, the rice plants were cultivated today mostly

was derived from the results of conventional crosses, although there galur-

The new strain developed by recombinant DNA technology. in

field cultivation of food crops and industrial crops, in addition to using

conventional techniques, people also have developed strains

new transgenic crops that have a nature-tolerant state

environment by inserting foreign genes from other bodies. For example, the

Scientists develop tobacco plants were more tolerant to levels

high salt, plants resistant to certain herbicides or pests etc..

Nowadays, the development industry thrive. As a result, many land

displaced farm, more - more in the surrounding urban area. On the other hand

demand for agricultural products should be increased in line with increased

the population. To support this, the authors would like to explain

development of biotechnology in agriculture.

Green biotechnology (green biotechnology) studied the application

This will be discussed together, bioteknoogi has been instrumental in

produce pest-resistant crops, foodstuffs containing

higher nutrient and plants that produce drugs or compounds

useful. Below we present some examples

green biotechnology:

- Capable of Making The Binding Nitrogen Plant

Cereals or plant grass seed in a plant

supplying 50% of world population staple food. However, cereals are not

have bacterial symbionts roots for nitrogen fixation, so

need for nitrogen (N2) is obtained from the addition of artificial fertilizers.

Excess fertilizers that can be given water and rinsed water menyemari

drink for human consumption on the environment.

I LMU A lamiah D asar the classroom G | K elompok 8 | 3

Nitrogen (N2) is an essential element of protein DNA and RNA. In

legumes often found nodules on the roots. in the

The nodules contained bacteria × Rhizobium can fix nitrogen

free of air, so that legumes can be sufficient

need for carbon alone. With biotechnology, the researchers tried to

develop × Rhizobium bacteria that can live in the roots apart

legume - legumes. In addition, it also seeks to improve

nitrogen fixing ability of the bacterium to the recombination technique

genes. Both of the above efforts made ​​to reduce or eliminate

the use of nitrogen fertilizer, which is currently widely used in land

agriculture and cause adverse side effects.

The scientists developed a plant whose roots can

symbiosis with Rhizobium. This idea involves the nif genes that can

control of nitrogen fixation. Scientists nif gene insert this on:

o Plant cereals

o Bacteria associated with cereal plant

o TI plasmid (tumor inducing) from Agrobacterium × and then

menginfeksikannya into plants in accordance with bacteria

has been engineered.

- Making Pest Resistant Plants

Pest-resistant plants can be created through genetic engineering with

recombination of genes and cell culture. For example, to get the plant

disease-resistant potato genes that specify the required properties

immune diseases. The gene, then inserted in the plant cell

potatoes. The potato plant cells, then grown into

disease-resistant potato plants. Furthermore, the potato crop

can be reproduced and distributed.

I LMU A lamiah D asar the classroom G | K elompok 8 | 4

- 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 flowering.

Natural potential of these cells are programmed into the new crop of candidates

is ideal for genetic engineering. As in plant cells, the cells

callus surrounded by a thick wall of cellulose, which is an obstacle

which inhibits the formation of new DNA. The cell wall can

broken with cellulose to produce cell wall without walls

cells called protoplasts. Protoplasts can be combined with

Another protoplasts from several species, which can then form cells

grow into a plant hybrid. This method is called 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 between

genera. Somatic hybridization can overcome it.

o Cytoplasm in sexual marriage only from the female parent

only. In the process of fertilization, the male carries only the core Ganet

alone with little cytoplasm opposite the female parent in addition to the core

I LMU A lamiah D asar the classroom G | K elompok 8 | 5

cytoplasm as well. To receive the cytoplasm of the two parents

held fusion between the cytoplasm.

- Establishment of Biotechnology in Plant Variety New Superior

Biotechnology techniques are also used to make a kind of plant

superior new plants. It is necessary to provide for the

growing food, while agricultural land tend

decreased. Plant is expected to have superior productivity

better. In addition, increased yield, also made ​​efforts to improve

on nutritional content, environmental sustainability, harvest age, and various

Another added value.

Application of plant biotechnology can also facilitate farmers in

cultivation process. Suppose in weed control is by

produce plants resistant to herbicide

particular. An example is labeled × Roundup Ready crops are

consisting of soybean, canola (a type of oil-producing plants), and corn

were resistant to the herbicide Roundup. In today's world telahbanyak

released a variety of new types of plant biotechnology results. for example

in China in 2006 has been developed about 30 species

transgenic plants, antaralain rice, corn, cotton, potatoes, soybeans, tomatoes

resistant virus, petunia flower colors Bary, peppers resistant virus, and

pest-resistant cotton) which has been released for production.

Some kind of new high yielding crops created with the use of

biotechnology is as follows.

1) Rice Golden Rice

Rice is the main food crop world. Thus rice

be a top priority in biotechnology. Besides rice, crops

which has a lot of touches biotechnology is potatoes.

Application of biotechnology in rice plants actually have long done.

I LMU A lamiah D asar the classroom G | K elompok 8 | 6

One product is the stingray kind of golden rice, which was introduced in

It is expected that in 2001 this kind of rice can help the millions of people who

blindness and death due to deficiency of vitamin A and

iron. Vitamin A is important for vision, immune response,

cell repair, bone growth, reproduction, until critical for

embryonic growth.

Golden Rice was given the name because of the resulting colored granules

resemble yellow gold because it contains carotenoids. genetic engineering

a method for the production of Golden Rice. This is because

no rice germplasm are able to synthesize carotenoids.

2) Russet Burbank

Current biotechnology techniques have been widely used in the production of

potatoes. Both the technical provision of seeds, potato breeding, to

genetic engineering to enhance the superior properties of potatoes. in the case of

provision of seeds, the current tissue culture techniques have been widely used.

Technique of tissue culture me-possible farmers get the seeds in the

a large number of which is identical to its parent. Examples of new potato varieties

Russet Burbank potatoes × is that having a high starch content

which could produce French fries and potato chips with quality

better because it absorbs less oil when fried.

3) Tomato FlavrSavr

Genetic engineering technology has also been applied to plants

hortiklutura. As a well-known example is the tomato FlavrSavr,

the type of tomato fruit ripening is not quickly broken / rotting. it is

very different from the other tomato plants, where the fruit is ripe quickly

be damaged. The nature of this FlavrSavr tomatoes are very useful in the delivery

fruit to distant places before arriving in the hands of consumers.

I LMU A lamiah D asar the classroom G | K elompok 8 | 7

4) Low Nicotine Tobacco

One of the many disadvantages of smoking is a health disorder

due to high levels of nicotine. Biotechnological approaches taken to

overcome this problem is to assemble the tobacco plants

free nicotine content. In 2001 this type of tobacco is claimed to be

reduced the risk of cancer due to smoking. In addition to nicotine free,

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.

10 Tourist Attractions in Bangkok The Obligation Visited

When it comes to tourist in Bangkok, there may be some tourist destination that springs to mind immediately. Name the Grand Palace and Chatuchak Weekend Market could be the most popular among the comrades Traveler. It seems that Bangkok to less complete if not to both places!

Actually, what the hell wrote sights so the attraction for foreign tourists to travel to the Thai capital this? Well, here's 10 tourist spots in Bangkok that must be visited and the favorite!

The beauty of the Grand Palace is very intriguing. Arguably as building te

1 Grand Palace and Wat Phra Kaew

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.

Transportation: Take the Chao Phraya Express Boat from Sathorn Pier (BTS Saphan Taksin Station) to Tha Tien Pier or Ta Chang Pier, and walk to the Grand Palace.

2 Wat Arun

Renowned also as the Temple of Dawn, because this temple is very beautiful when seen against the backdrop of twilight began to redden. But if you're looking for a time not so crowded to be able to take good pictures, come in the morning. This temple is one of the oldest temples in Bangkok and popular among tourists. Buildings depicts Mount Meru Wat Arun, which according to the teachings of the Buddha is at the center of the universe.

Famous as well as <em> Temple of Dawn </ em>, because this temple is very ind

Wat Arun is located on the Thonburi side, opposite the Rattanakosin Island, where the Grand Palace and Wat Pho are separated by the Chao Phraya river. Wat Arun is included as one of the most beautiful temples in Thailand. Prang, or middle pillar is as high as 70 meters, which is a famous landmark not only in Bangkok, but in the whole world. Filled decoration of Chinese porcelain and glass misaik beautifully arranged. Not surprisingly, Wat Arun became the most popular tourist destination of tourists, after the Grand Palace.

Opening Hours: 08:30 to 17:30

Transportation: Take the Chao Phraya Express Boat from Sathorn Pier (BTS Saphan Taksin Station) to Tha Tien Pier. From Tha Tien ride the shuttle to go to the small boat across the Chao Phraya. Tickets shuttle boat 3 baht.

3 Chatuchak Weekend Market

If anyone plans a trip to Bangkok, make sure you are there in this city on Saturday or Sunday, because it is held on the weekend Chatuchak Weekend Market, one of the largest markets in Asia. Is a favorite week ended Bangkok residents and also tourists. During the commute to Bangkok, I have never seen Chatuchak deserted. This is where you can shop the souvenir to draw fashion products in small boutiques in the near Kamphaeng Phet MRT station. Do not forget to wear comfortable shoes and clothes, get ready around and shop until you drop at Chatuchak!

Transportation: Take the BTS to Mo Chit Station or MRT to Chatuchak Station or Kamphaeng Phet Station.

4. Wat Pho

Wat Pho or Wat Phra Chetuphon is a temple that has stood for hundreds of years and is one of the oldest temples in Bangkok.
