and water needed to grow food. Researchers at Cornell University and Rothamsted Research in the United kingdom successfully transplanted genes from a type of bacteria-called cyanobacteria-into tobacco plants
The genes allow the plant to produce a more efficient enzyme for converting carbon dioxide from the atmosphere into sugars and other carbohydrates.
Scientists have known long that some plants are much more efficient at turning carbon dioxide into sugar than other plants.
Maureen Hansen a professor of molecular biology and genetics at Cornell says the advances won't be seen in commercially grown food crops for at least five or 10 years.

The other approach was attaching a molecule to the RNA that cells like to ingest tricking the cell into eating it.

the sugar part of the prostate cancer glycoprotein is reacted with a custom-designed molecule that contains a boron group at one end (the boron linkage forms a reversible bond to the sugar).
The glycoprotein is then bound to the surface via its sugar groups, before the rest of the surface is blocked with a third molecule.
Within that cast, there was a special area with boron-containing molecules that can recognise a specific set of sugars.
so there's a clear need for more accurate diagnosis. By focussing on the sugar, we appear to have hit the'sweet spot'for doing just that.

But the science which warned us off eating eggs along with other high-cholesterol foods such as butter, shellfish,
bacon and liver could have been flawed, a key report in the US has found. Foods high in cholesterol have been branded a danger to human health
since the 1970s a warning that has divided long the medical establishment. A growing number of experts have been arguing there is no link between high cholesterol in food and dangerous levels of the fatty substance in the blood.
Now in a move signalling a dramatic change of stance on the issue, the US government is to accept advice to drop cholesterol from its list of'nutrients of concern'.
Its Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee plans to no longer warn people to avoid eggs, shellfish and other cholesterol-laden foods.
The U-turn, based on a report by the committee, will undo almost 40 years of public health warnings about eating food laden with cholesterol.
