The Internet portal gmo-safety.eu provides up-to-date clear and intelligible information about current and past biosafety research into genetically modified plants in Germany. The focus is on projects supported by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF). The sections ‘Maize’, ‘Grain’, ‘Potatoes’, ‘Oilseed rape’, ‘Woody plants’, ‘Monitoring’ and ‘Gene transfer’ provide comprehensive basic information about the key BMBF-funded research areas. A database with summaries of research topics, methods and results (‘Database’) is supplemented by exciting insights into the everyday working lives of researchers (‘Science live’), background reports on individual topics (‘Focus’) and news stories on everything to do with biological safety research both in Germany and at international level (‘News’). The ‘Debate’ section is designed to enliven the discussion about green genetic engineering by offering new perspectives and surprising points of view – this section regularly presents interesting texts on scientifically and socially relevant topics. There is also a glossary with key terms, a photo database and a schools portal (German only) with suggestions for teachers. ... [Information of the supplier]
This "Glossary of Biotechnology for Food and Agriculture" is a revised, augmented version of the "Glossary of Biotechnology and Genetic Engineering" published by FAO in 1999. The idea for such a collection of terminology associated with the rapidly expanding fields related to or deriving from biotechnology and genetic engineering, was stimulated by the difficulty of communicating effectively in discussions at intergovernmental level. On various occasions, simple differences of interpretation of terminology have threatened to de-rail negotiations of international importance. This Glossary tries to provide a consolidated, comprehensive and yet accessible list of terms and acronyms that are used regularly in biotechnology for food and agriculture and that represent a convenient reference source for researchers, students and technicians. (...) The new edition contains about 450 new terms and about 100 terms have been deleted. It now contains 3,196 terms and related definitions. A number of definitions have been improved to enhance the coherence of the Glossary. This new edition also has a slightly modified title. The new title reflects more precisely the scope of the Glossary, limited to terms involving biotechnology for food and agriculture. ... [Information of the supplier, modified]

GoPubMed retrieves PubMed abstracts for your search query, detects Gene Ontology (GO) terms in the abstracts, displays a subset of the GO relevant to the keywords, and allows you to browse the ontology and display only papers containing specific GO terms. After performing a search, the resulting abstracts are annotated with your query keywords and GO terms. The abstracts are grouped using the GO terms, which appear in the text. Now you can use the GO hierarchy to systematically explore your search results. ... [Information of the supplier]
Bookshelf provides free access to books and documents in life science and healthcare. A vital node in the data-rich resource network at NCBI, Bookshelf enables users to easily browse, retrieve, and read content, and spurs discovery of related information. NLM LitArch (NLM Literature Archive) is a digital archive for books, documents, and articles in the fields of life science, medicine, and healthcare at the National Institutes of Health, managed by the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) within the National Library of Medicine. NLM LitArch complements the PubMed Central (PMC) archive, which houses full-text electronic journal literature that is made available through the PubMed Central website; it includes books and documents which are not included within the PMC archive. Full text of content from this electronic archive is freely accessible through Bookshelf and other NCBI services. Abstracts of selected books and documents are also searchable in PubMed, the database of clinical abstracts, and linked to the full text of the documents in Bookshelf. ...
