Latest Research in biotechnology of Fruits and Vegetables production

Introduction

Numerous studies have been conducted on the production of fruits and vegetables, focusing on these areas of nutrition, and the natural produced labor markets. Fruits and vegetables are a part of horticulture environment as the fertilizer needs environment on high intensity and they are genetically modified as organisms into the DNA methods of plants. Agricultural biotechnology is a range of tools, including traditional breeding techniques that changes organisms to make products. Bradford and Suslow define biotechnology as a utilization of living organisms or the components in which provide a useful tool. In recent years, most researchers have improved in production of management and technology of fruit and vegetable productions. However, there was a significant amount of slowing growth production because of the weather and disease problems. Increasing production of fruits and vegetables is a result of modern biotechnology that includes genetic engineering tools.

Why is it significant to have fruits and vegetables production?

Biotechnology of fruit and vegetable production are an aid to conventional breeding and its ability to transfer genes between different organisms. The ability to monitor the absence of such genes in plants is good for plant breeders. In order for the plants to transfer specific genes to one another, it can be added to one's crops by providing a majority of time and effort. Metabolic engineering can allow the genes transfer to fruits and vegetables by adding components to the nutritional values (Valpuesta, 2002). Many scientists believed that fruit and vegetable could be treated by cultivating the processing foods by simply observing something more mysterious. These crop productions can help many countries to keep track with tons of foods while reducing the cost of productions.

The major impact of fruit and vegetable production is to have a good quality by enhancing antioxidant content. Biotechnology provides farmers with tools that can make production cheaper and more manageable. For example, some biotechnology crops can be engineered to tolerate specific herbicides, which can make weed control simpler and more efficient. These researchers, Miller and Bradford stated that, "New GM (genetically-modified) varieties of fruits and vegetables hardly are financially attractive" (2010). This quote determines that all GM plants have subjected to become more demanded in the past years. Other crops have been engineered to be resistant to specific plant diseases and insect pests. These can make pest control more reliable and effective, and/or can decrease the use of synthetic pesticide.

Are the production affecting labor?

A number of biotechnology-derived crops that has been deregulated by the USDA (United States Department of Agriculture). According to the USDA, McHugh suggested that "the primary goal is to develop novel processing technologies to increase utilization and consumption of fruits and vegetables" (2005). This quote determines that growing for processing is distinct from producing for the fresh market for fruits and vegetables. Most varieties grown for processing are better to mechanical harvesting, but they often do not carry desirable for fresh-market labor. For example, processing tomatoes are generally smaller and possess different attributes such as soluble solids rather than most fresh varieties. The U.S. government has made their goals to increase production of fruits and vegetables in the way to maintain population (Preedy and Watson, 2009). In order to increase consumption of fruits and vegetables at a population, we need to know what factors can encourage people to overcome and to facilitate of inhibiting consumption.

Many types of crops are now in the research and development stages. While it is not possible to know exactly which will come further enough, biotechnology certainly will have highly varies uses for agriculture in the future. Advances in biotechnology may provide consumers with foods that are nutritionally enriched, or that contain lower levels of certain naturally occurring toxicants present in some food plants. The researchers Bradford and Suslow explained the consumption of fruits and vegetables production leads to a long-term of Agricultural Biotechnology in which will be realized both direct and indirect benefits (2010). Many of the products will be authorizing by improving the economic efficient of production.

How does Biotechnology using tools to develop fruit and vegetable production?

Biotechnology has been capable of developing microorganisms for biological control of pests and diseases that affects production of fruits and vegetables. In order to preserve fruits and vegetables, they should be canning, freezing, drying and pickling, so that people can enjoy these fruits and vegetables after they harvested. The researchers, Bradford and Suslow explained that "biotechnology has been applied to improve the sensory properties and shelf-life of fruits and vegetables" (2010). This quotation means that most developers are using biotechnology to reduce saturated fats in cooking oils, reduce allergens, and decrease fighting nutrients in foods. They are also researching ways to use genetically engineered crops in the production of new medicines, which may lead to a new plant-made industry that could reduce the costs of production using a sustainable resource. About 90 percent of the local fields are grown regionally as well as having genetically modified in the USA.

Genetically engineered plants are also being developed for a purpose known as phytoremediation in which plants detoxify pollutants in the soil. The plants may be harvested and deposed of safety; as a result, it is improved soil quality at a polluted site. The plants needed plenty of water to increase consumption that requires good quality for any majorities of consumers (Preedy and Watson, 2009). The reason for the production to make the plants healthy is to make the environment for strong roots. For the fruits and vegetables to make them healthy, people will have tasted the plant foods really well. The fruit quality builds and increases the demands for freshness for the needs of a longer life. Also, consumers requires fruits with a good nutrients in order for people to stay healthy and this helps reduce risk cancer (Valpuesta, 2002). Their findings are summarized in table 1.

Is the production the best solution?

Biotechnology is used to conserve natural resources, decreasing nutrient to runoff into rivers and bays, and help increasing world of food and land. Because of that, the good production has a greatest significance of the fruits and vegetables in agriculture (Bradford and Miller, 2010). The majority of these biotechnological plants were farm-related traits such as resistance to diseases, but also have a tolerance of drought, or heat stress. Research project were looking forward for the products of nutrients with compounds to health. Another example of transformation of genes can be transplanted by several methods and these transfer the desired DNA into the plant (Bradford and Suslow, 2010). This will lead to increase nutrients of plant food.

In addition to the production, fresh vegetable growers face increased due to the special characteristics of their product. For instance, in Canada, people consume at least five fruit and vegetable servings per day from 29 to 47 percent; thus, the fruit and vegetable supply in the short run is highly inelastic concerning social interactions and support (Preedy and Watson, 2009). As a result, growers are compelled to accept the production during or close to the harvesting period. Consequently, plant and harvest timing plays a role in the income received from fruit and vegetable production. The impact of quality on the products of fresh fruits and vegetables could not be understated.

Researchers are producing crops that will flourish even the great environments that will require less fuel, labor, fertilizer, and water. These required foundations help decrease the pressures on land and wildlife habitat. McHugh (2010) reviewed studies that new efficient process of fruit and vegetable productions needed to expand markets in order to add values to most valuable nutrition. It is possible for the new biotechnologies need to increase utilization and consumption of fruits and vegetables by American consumers. In this case, the fresh crops preserve the nutrition and quality of their most products. For instance, several 100% vegetables and 100% fruit bars have been developed and allowing the producers to enable the new process to become active. It is not only for consumers to improve their diet, but also to add values to their significant growers.

In addition to genetically engineered crops, biotechnology has helped many productions to make other improvements in agriculture that involves crops. For instance, some environments make antibiotic production more efficient through fermentation. This would lead to a sustainable resource to build nutrients to those healthy crops. In genetically engineering of fruits and vegetables, the new phenotypes created by the production which are frequently used to amount of crops, but are lost to the acquired traits (Valpuesta, 2002). Because of the loss of activation, the DNA can be processed to one gene and another. In order to make the plant food alive, it needs more water to let it flow on a soil. The limited process of the plant transformation to biotechnology, however, was not the production that does involving genes, but to eliminate the gene damaging traits.

Conclusion

In order to understand fruit and vegetable productions, it is necessary to inform studies to determine all aspects of nutrients. In addition, the understanding of fruit and vegetable consumption provided from the numerous research that uses biotechnology to prove something useful. The effects on the production can be modified as a traditional technique in order to make the products cheaper and valuable. It is important to promote a high intake of fruit and vegetable consumption that is needed to be healthy, so that they may have a great impact on long-term health status. For biotechnology, they observed that fruit and vegetables should be eaten as part of a balance diet, fiber, and water. I hope that once more people are accustomed to the new developments in biotechnology; they will become more obsessed with the production that made fruits and vegetables to see anything harvested.
