Modificar genes de insetos pode reduzir uso de pesticidas...

What this episode covers

A modificação genética tem sido usada em experimentos de imunoterapia contra o câncer, criação de maçãs e, de forma controversa, embriões humanos. Agora, um número crescente de pesquisadores está usando o CRISPR nas pragas agrícolas para controlar uma série de insetos que, juntos, destroem cerca de 40% da produção agrícola global a cada ano. No episódio desta semana do podcast de Health, Laura Murta, Camila Pepe e Jonas Sertório conversam com Francisco Aragão, pesquisador na Empresa Brasileira de Pesquisa Agropecuária (Embrapa), sobre benefícios obtidos a partir de modificações genéticas de seres vivos.
