Much research regarding Golden Rice is available online. After thoroughly researching the topic, plan your PowerPoint slide deck. Your presentation should be illustrated where appropriate using graphics and photographs that you yourself can explain. Include details on how the beta-carotene genes are inserted into the rice. Make sure you explain key terms like carotenoids, carotenoid biosynthesis, phytoene synthase (PSY), and carotene-desaturase (CTRI). Your presentation should answer the following questions: Why and by whom was Golden Rice developed?
What genes were inserted into what variety of rice to create Golden Rice?
How were these genes inserted?
What is the nutritional difference between regular rice and this GM rice?
What is the difference between GR1 and GR2?
What has prevented Golden Rice from being cultivated widely?
Is there scientific evidence that Golden Rice could be harmful to humans or the environment?
Is the opposition to Golden Rice mainly political or scientific?
Do you think the reasons for Golden Rice are more compelling than the reasons against it and why?
Do you support the cultivation of Golden Rice?
If not, what do you think is the best solution for solving the problems that Golden Rice was developed to address?
