![Read the paragraph that follows on a particular GMO. Make a tabulation of its use's positive and negative
consequences as well as ethical issues and answer the guide questions that follow.
Landmines in many countries worldwide remind us of dreadful wars in the past and these too still prey on
innocent lives who accidentally step on them. There is an interesting research however on a genetically
modified plant species, Arabidopsis thaliana which detects the presence of land mines through changing
colors. In a particular study, a gene that turns-on the production of the red pigment, anthocyanin in the
presence of nitrogen dioxide has been inserted in the genome of thale cress (A. thaliana). As the modified
plant already renders a sensitivity to the presence of nitrogen dioxide gas, in areas where unexploded
landmines exist, the leaves of these plants turn from green to red, signaling the presence of nitrogen oxide
gases released by these buried bombs (Nelson, 2004).
