GM plant, conceptual artwork
Genetically modified plant, conceptual artwork. Plant stems and leaves forming a structure that echoes a DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) double helix. This could represent genetically modified (GM) plants. Genetic modification of plants involves altering their DNA, the chemical that encodes every cells structure, function and behaviour, to produce desirable characteristics (such as disease resistance). It is controversial whether GM foods are safe to eat and what their environmental effects will be

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning conceptual artwork of a GM plant, symbolizing the fascinating world of genetic modification. The intricate structure formed by the plant stems and leaves resembles the iconic double helix shape of DNA, representing the manipulation of this fundamental building block of life in genetically modified plants. Genetic modification involves altering the DNA within plants to introduce desirable traits like disease resistance or improved yield. This controversial practice has sparked debates about its safety for consumption and potential environmental impacts. However, this thought-provoking artwork invites us to ponder upon these complex issues surrounding GM foods without taking any commercial interests into account. The image beautifully captures the harmony between nature and science as it highlights both ground roots firmly planted in soil and shoots reaching towards sunlight. It serves as a reminder that genetic engineering is an innovative tool within biology, allowing scientists to unlock new possibilities in agriculture and biotechnology. Through this visually striking illustration, Science Photo Library presents us with an opportunity to explore concepts such as bioengineering, transgenic organisms, and genetic modification while admiring the beauty found within botanical wonders.
