GM crops and the third world
Andrová, Julie ; Opatrný, Zdeněk (advisor) ; Lhotáková, Zuzana (referee)
The inhabitants of the Third World have to deal with problems such as population explosion, undernourishment, poverty and morbidity. The Green Revolution saved millions of people from hunger through the introduction of specially bred varieties of cereal in combination with mineral fertilization. The transition from the Green Revolution to the Genetic Revolution, which consists in the introduction of transgenic crops prepared using genetic engineering techniques, could represent the future for developing countries. The work deals with the issue of transgenic crops in developing countries. The first part deals with problems of the Third World, the second part with transgenic crops, specifically the preparation process of these crops, their present and potential use in developing countries and potential risks. The third part includes analysis of the Framework Education Programme for Secondary General Education and analysis of selected textbooks.

Etika potravin - geneticky modifikované potraviny
Košťál, Lukáš
The aim of the bachelor thesis is to document the situation regarding a genetically mod-ified food within the EU, including the prevailing attitude towards such food in the EU. A comparative method was used to evaluate both the pros and the cons of genetically modified food with regards to ethical questions. The results show that in comparison to other states, the attitude of EU towards genetically modified food is significantly more careful, despite the fact that such food could partially solve the food crisis. However, there are still no scientific studies, which could conclusively prove that such food is not harmful to human health.

Application for the Data Processing in the Area of Genome Engineering
Brychta, Jan ; Burgetová, Ivana (referee) ; Očenášek, Pavel (advisor)
This masters thesis has a few objectives. One of them is to acquaint with the problems of genome engineering, especially with fragmentation of DNA, the macromolecule DNA, the methods for purification and separation of the nucleic acids, the enzymes used for modification of these acids, amplification and get to know with cluster and gradient analysis as well. The next aim is to peruse the existed application and compare it to the layout of the proposed application, that is the third aim. The last one from the objectives is the implementation and the report how was the application tested by the real data. The results will be discussed as well as the possibilities of the further extension.

Attitude of the European Union Towards Genetically Modified Foods
PŇÁČKOVÁ, Štěpánka
This undergraduate thesis deals with the progressive process of some plant´s transformation into cultivated plants and its consequential plant selection by man, up to actual evolution, which is characterised by genetic engineering. Man´s manipulation with the genetic codes of organisms carries its advantages and possible risks which are projected into the attitudes towards production and consumption genetically modified foods. This matter is a frequently discussed theme in Europe, whereas GMO have as opposition as well as supporters. This fact is reflected in the legislation of the European Union, which specifies strict conditions and precautions for GMO.
