      GMO Investigator Kit

      GMO Investigator™ Kit

      Biotechnology is revolutionizing food science and agricultural science. There is a shortage of qualified people in agricultural biotechnology and a need for more people to enter this field. Food and agricultural science activities range from fermentation to reducing the vulnerability of plants to environmental stresses such as those caused by increasing soil salinity. A number of kits including the GMO Investigator™ kit, the Biofuel Enzyme kit, and the Fish DNA Barcoding kit directly address food and agricultural science are relevant and can be incorporated into your lesson plans.
