Geneticky modifikované potraviny
Tuzová, Kristýna
Diploma thesis Genetically modified foods discusses about genetically modified foods in the Czech Republic, European Union (EU) and worldwide. The aim of the thesis was to investigate the awareness of Czech and Austrian students and citizens about geneti-cally modified foods and also to highlight the pros and cons of genetically modified foods. The method of literary research and comparative method was used to evaluate the current state of genetically modified food. In the experimental part of the thesis a brainstorming method and SWOT analysis were used to determine the main advantages and disadvantages associated with genetically modified foods. Information on the atti-tudes of interest groups was collected through a questionnaire survey. The results show that the awareness and attitude of the general public and students varies within the Czech Republic and Austria.

Trehalose metabolism gene manipulations and improving plant abiotic stress tolerance
Hamet, Jaromír ; Lipavská, Helena (advisor) ; Hála, Michal (referee)
In these days, genetic modifications of crops are commonly used in the fight against pests and weeds. More and more often there are also efforts to use genetic modifications to increase tolerance to abiotic stresses that affect worldwide yields much more than biotic ones. Manipulation of trehalose metabolism represents one of the frequently studied options of abiotic stress tolerance enhancement. This work summarizes current knowledge on the protective effects of trehalose in cells and describes signaling functions of trehalose and its metabolic intermediate trehalose-6-phosphate in plants. It also describes current achievements in increasing abiotic stress tolerance through genetic modifications of trehalose metabolism together with accompanying problems. Finally, the potential of this method for future exploitation is discussed.

Potenciál a rizika geneticky modifikovaných plodin
Svobodová, Pavla
This bachelor thesis deals with the issue genetically modified crops in terms of economic, environmental and ethical. Purpose of this work is present potential risks of genetically modified crops here in the Czech Republic and in the World, with highlighting strengths and weaknesses and characteristics of these crops. The chosen topic I have solved through a literature review and document the current situation. The solution was used comparative methods and it was evaluated assessing the current situation and analysis. The contribution of this bachelor thesis is a summary of information about genetically modified crops. Based on the collected data, the reader may infer vision for the development and impact of GM crops on humans, animals and the environment.

Budoucnost potravin a jejich etické souvislosti
Tuzová, Kristýna
Bachelor thesis Future of food and related ethical context discusses about genetically modified organisms (GMO) in relation to food self-sufficiency provision in the Czech Republic and European Union (EU). Objective was to specify advantages and disadvantages of implementation GMO into natural environment from ethical point of view. GMO have potential to increase food self-sufficiency of individial countries due to rise of agricultural production. At the same time GMO have positive but also negative influence on environment and human health.

Analysis of the WTO Dispute on Trade with GMOs
Everett, Kirstin Elizabeth ; Štěrbová, Ludmila (advisor) ; Zamykalová, Miroslava (referee)
In 2003 the United States filed an official complaint against the European Community at the World Trade Organization in regards to the ban imposed on GM crops within the EU, saying that there was no scientific defense for their point of view, and this had created barriers to trade. After one of the longest dispute settlement in WTO history, the body sided with the US and deemed the ban to be restricting free trade. Conflicting research on the safety of GM crops has further complicated the matter and many members of the EU are still choosing to ban GM crops in defiance of the WTO ruling.
