Its first attempt to develop genetically engineered grass ended disastrously for Scotts Miracle-Gro Co. The grass escaped into the wild from test plots in Oregon in 2003, dooming the chances that the government would approve the product for commercial use.

Yet Scotts is once again developing genetically modified grass that would need less mowing, be a deeper green and be resistant to damage from the popular weedkiller Roundup. But this time the grass will not need federal approval before it can be field-tested and marketed.

Scotts and several other companies are developing genetically modified crops using techniques that either are outside the jurisdiction of the Agriculture Department or use new methods like genome editing that were not envisioned when the regulations were created.

The department has said, for example, that it has no authority over a new herbicide-resistant canola, or over a corn that would create less pollution from livestock waste, or switch grass tailored for biofuel production, or an ornamental plant that glows in the dark.

The trend alarms critics of biotech crops, who say there can be unintended effects of genetic modification, regardless of the process.

"They are using a technical loophole so that what are clearly genetically engineered crops and organisms are escaping regulation," said Michael Hansen, a senior scientist at Consumers Union. He said the grass "can have all sorts of ecological impact, and no one is required to look at it."

'Obsolete' regulation

Even some people who say the crops are safe and the regulations overly burdensome have expressed concern that because some crops can be left unregulated, the whole oversight process is confusing and illogical, in some cases doing more harm than good.

In November's Nature Biotechnology, plant researchers at the University of California, Davis wrote that the regulatory framework had become "obsolete and an obstacle to the development of new agricultural products."

But companies using the new techniques say that if the methods were not labeled genetic engineering, novel crops could be marketed or grown in Europe and other countries that do not readily accept genetically modified crops.

Automotive engineering is a branch of engineering that studies how to design, create and develop the means of land transportation are using the machine, especially motorcycles, cars, buses and trucks. Automotive engineering combines elements of knowledge of mechanics, electricity, electronics, safety and the environment as well as mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology and management.The branches of the automotive engineering include:Planning (product or design)Development (development)Production (manufacturing)Maintenance (maintenance)In Indonesia currently highly developed branch is generally about care and maintenance of cars and motorcycles.In automotive engineering, control systems existing land transport equipment is a must. The system comprises several main systems and dozens of subsystems. The system can be grouped:Engine (engine)Combustion engine (internal combustion engine).The fuel system (fuel system).Fuel tank.Fuel pump.Carburetor or fuel injection system.Ignition system (ignition system).Air intake system in the combustion chamber (intake system).Combustion products exhaust system (exhaust system).Cooling system (cooling system).Lubrication system (lubricating system).Wheel balance system (spooring balancing)Move power (power train).Transmission system (transmission system).Driving circuit (drive train).Transfer case (for 4-wheel drive)The driving end (final drive)Wheel (wheel)The steering system (steering system).The suspension system (suspension system).The brake system (brake system).Bodi.The electrical system (electrical system).The main fields of technologyfieldBuilding and ConstructionCity and Regional Planning Techniques Acoustic Engineering Mechanical Engineering Safety Engineering architecture building maintenance engineering construction fire protection engineering Civil engineering Sanitation Engineering Technology household structurebiomedicalBiomechatronics Bioinformatics Biotechnology Pharmacology Nanomedicine Science Health Sciences Informatics nerve chemical Medical Research Biomedical Engineering Biological Engineering Genetic Engineering Medical Technology Network Engineering Technology Reproductive Technology nerveenergyRenewable Energy Storage Petroleum Engineering Nuclear Engineering Energy Nuclear TechnologyindustryGas industrial biotechnology industry Metallurgy Research Management Manufacturing techniques and the development of flexible manufacturing systems Biochemical engineering Biosystems engineering Financial engineering industry Mechanical Engineering Manufacturing Engineering Enterprise engineering Mining Engineering Engineering process automationInformation and CommunicationArtificial intelligence Computer Science Mechanical Engineering radio frequency and computer engineering computer network ontology Mechanical Engineering Software Engineering broadcasting telecommunication Engineering Engineering Technology website computing technology information technology communication technology visual music Graphic TechnologyenvironmentGreen building design of ecologically sustainable design Renewable energy Science Engineering Environmental engineering environment landscape clean coal technology clean technology Green nanotechnologymilitaryElectronic warfare military communications military engineering stealth Technology EngineerseducationDigital Technology educational software in educational ICT in education Impact of technology in the education system of multimedia learning Virtual Campus Virtual EducationagricultureAquaculture fishery Sciences Chemistry Environmental food and agricultural buildings Nutrition Food Microbiology Food Engineering Agricultural Engineering Technology Food Technology freezing foodtransportationAerospace engineering Traffic Engineering Mechanical Engineering Automotive Engineering shipping space transportation technologyOther applied sciencesContent rating: Medium Maturity
