DNA tests for rice stocks to determine their origins

[Strangebrew]

News flash: rice found to be of Burmese origin and linked to killings on Koh Tao as reported by Somguy pornchick.

"Male Bovine Fecal matter". Or more bluntly Bulls- -t.

Rice is Rice, it's DNA is not different if it is grown in Thailand or Myanmar.

The only way Thai Rice could be distinguished from Burmese Rice is not by the DNA, which would be the same for every species of Rice wherever it is grown ..... as long as the species of Rice is the same for both places.

The only possible way to be able to tell Rice grown in Thailand from the same species of Rice grown in Myanmar is from a detailed chemical analysis of the trace elements in the soil of both locations.

Then if the trace elements in the Rice, and NOT the DNA, were to match the trace elements in the soil in one location, and not the other location, then you could assume the Rice was grown in that location where the trace elements in it matched and not in the other location where the trace elements did not match.

But as I said before the DNA in a similar species of Rice would be the same whether it was grown in Myanmar, Thailand, or for that matter Scotland.

And of course your qualification on making this statement is ???????

So these sad little anti-democratic establishment buffoons are still scratching around trying to find something to pin on Yingluck to justify their social and economic disaster of a coup.

BTW: The head of rice quality examination committee, Mr Panada Diksul, is also the same "non corrupt", "pure as the driven snow" soul who overpaid for the Juntas new microphones.

Perhaps he should be DNA testing himself
