Amino Acids are biologically important organic compounds composed of amine and carboxylic acid functional groups, along with a side-chain specific to each amino acid. With biological significance, amino acids are important in nutrition and are commonly used in Nutritional Supplements, fertilizers, and food technology. Industrial uses include the production of drugs, biodegradable plastics, and chiral catalysts.

Scientists are using gene technology to cultivate perfect Christmas trees
According to the report of the ITAR-TASS on December 12, with the approaching of Christmas in 2004, the Christmas tree that is indispensable in the festival has gradually become one of the key commodities that people are concerned about. Unlike previous years, despite the fact that the residents of various countries are purchasing Christmas trees, Danes are now preparing to perfect this traditional festival. Danish researchers are conducting a series of cloning experiments in order to cultivate the most perfect shape. Christmas tree. Since the 1990s, the plant laboratory in Copenhagen, Denmark has been engaged in the research of improving the Christmas tree. According to their estimation, with the continuous advancement of cloning technology, this dream will likely become a reality within a few years. Christensen, a spokesperson for the Danish Christmas Tree Growers Association, said that because Denmark is located in the coastal area and has better weather conditions, the Norman fir trees produced here are tall and straight, with dense foliage and firm needles. For a long time, the Danish Christmas tree has always had a good reputation and ideal sales in Europe. Denmark is currently one of the world's major exporters of Christmas trees. There are about 10 million Christmas trees exported to other European countries each year. In addition, there are over 35,000 tons of branches. It is estimated that the Christmas tree export volume in December this year will bring 199 million U.S. dollars in income for Danish growers. However, at the same time as the Danish Christmas tree was exported in large quantities, the relevant growers were suffering from high operating costs. Almost half of the fir trees cultivated were in poor shape and could not be used for sales in domestic and foreign markets. Christmas tree. It was in order to reduce the loss in this area that scientists decided to use the advanced biotechnology to create a perfectly shaped Christmas tree through genetic modification. According to the chief researcher of the Christmas Tree Cloning Project at the Copenhagen Plant Laboratory, "Creating a near-perfect Christmas tree is an ancient dream that people have been living since ancient times, and today's cloning technology is entirely possible to make this dream a reality. Let the perfect Christmas tree accompany everyone through a warm Christmas.†With the current progress of the research, the mass production of “perfect†Christmas trees will likely become a reality in the next 5-10 years.
