9:30 am
the cries for help or ignored by the vatican which has chosen to protect these powerful abusers. in 45 minutes on d. w. as he's got any issues with a lot say what the we cons exactly. say that we treat the plunge world with respect we are constantly exploring science at every opportunity and we try to optimize them through breeding engineers like modification. the shots are extremely sensitive to external factors like noise, for example,
9:31 am
the hello and welcome to tomorrow to day d, w, science magazine. most people don't get enough credit. that's a mistake because these extensively simple life phones have many amazing abilities of tool for them. it's also a question of eating or being eaten around $800.00 sounds piece is kind of varies. they can catch flies and can even eat small pieces of meat. and they display in much variety of different strategies for catching pray. carnivorous plants everywhere you look 36 years ago, then file kind of founded the carnivorous plant nursery in the southwestern town, a fine time now the largest in germany. and no one knows better than he does how
9:32 am
the mysterious plants catch their prey. are these carnivores all employed? very different strategies. so i've seen the a for example sets of pitfall trap yeah. on the plan. so creates nectar here at the edge of the end here at the mouth, so to speak, next styles, cuz she would then mcdonald and then nectar, attracts the insects inside the land. last start leaking are quite enthusiastic about it, like some more and more and more. then the plant i'm, it's a gas which makes the insect a little bit dizzy, less the intake. and so p c and the 2, they continue to look the nectar and but they're a little harrison with 2 x which are directly downwards. that means it's easy to go down, but sliding back up is difficult. almost impossible for the flies kindful and cool . they've done it yearly, and at some point they just fall in and are guns. but it's amazing that the behind
9:33 am
has evolved so cleverly at 6 and bigger. talk this one. ok, i'll push there. countless species of the sar seni. a genus, in many different colors. these flowers even use its blossoms to catch pray. this particular strategy is that's a bloom 1st. so the insects come to palm and a 10 boys. and then when the blossom and weather have they farms 200 feet on the insects 2 or 3 weeks later, for additional no trails veda, only doubts whose that position now and so becoming dependencies, also known as tropical pitcher plants, use pitfall traps as well. sweet nectar on the smooth pitcher rim attracts the insects which then fall into a liquid containing digestive enzymes where they drowned and are digested. some plants have even develop letters to lower amps, for example, into their deadly trap. other carnivores used so called glue traps.
9:34 am
yes, and you see it fine. so now we're here with the sun. new plant instead catches insects by attracting them to it's due to the sun. do refers to the adhesive droplets that glisten in the sun. now the insects then fly onto them. they smell interesting. but once they're on it, they get stuck to the adhesive droplets. these tend to goes then push the insect to the middle of the leon, just in the face out to a block. sometimes the leaf and crows around the insect, an enzyme struck digesting the trap prey on the phone to void it. so if at that one, butter word also catches small insects with a sticky liquid on its leaves and the more prey it absorbs, the more it grows and blossoms. the best known carnivores, b c's, is good venus fly trap. it closes its catching petals around the pray originating from the us east coast. even charles darwin was fascinated with this plants. deadly
9:35 am
snapped trap. so shy that the plant secreted nectar and its traps, and there were a small contact chairs inside. he hasn't been defeating, i'm, when the flies look the nectar, they automatically activate these contact chairs, not mac, suggest the plans, the 1st time it happens on the plan. registers items and the 2nd time the plan sense is that there must be something in there stealing gets nectar crime. so it's not shut. i'm eyes that kind of ask. they don't, i feel very small prey like and can still climb out to see your competition. newman, but a fat house by can some of the plans and the lose least as i said now the plan performs and analysis is what i called protein rich are not enough to feed out or is this? if not, it will open up overnight to the pray hours to spin into my house for sheet, and if it is protein rich and then the plant begins to digest it in the stuff of household and in the plaza. carnivorous plants are an amazing example of some of
9:36 am
nature's most sophisticated techniques. now onto the plants that humans eat according to a study by the world economic for him, the number of people living on a plan face died is decreasing, especially in highly population countries like india and china. on the other hand, in gemini and other western countries, the number of people giving up meat is on the rise. some people explained the shift by claiming that plant phase diet, so healthy it but it's not really true. a diet without any need or gary product. some would code mountain nutrition and others completely healthy. lots of people have an opinion, but if you have all the data on the nutritional scientist democracy, cather has been researching client based nutrition for 25 years. keller,
9:37 am
who is reagan, says that a vegan diet is in itself neither healthy nor unhealthy. the gun comes here, can make him dyed, can be very healthy. if it's done right. you can also eat a very, very unhealthy vegan diet as cost a mix. diet is better than a bad v diet, but, but very often, it's the other way around. the deacons put more thought into their food. they are better informed and to make more wholesome food choices. while how many studies over the years have shown that too much me, especially processed meat is bad for your health. it's also been shown that a diet containing plan based foods as healthy or at the university hospital in van. we meet via bobby, the nutritionist is a senior physician and professor of nutrition and metabolism at the university of bound. in her daily work at the hospital,
9:38 am
she notices time and time again. the positive effects of a vegan diet was adult, while me is that it was very apparent and people's blood sugar levels fairly close with a much better profile, is when people increase the amount of fiber they eat, or fish the narcotics for us and all that comes automatically when you eat a healthy vegan diet, like on the nod, and you can definitely see the positive effects on collector. all levels coming through who's not had a $450.00 fee bid, click official plan. secondary compounds play an important role. they come from vegetables, fruits like you are nuts and give plaque based fluids, their color. they have a positive effect on health, their anti inflammatory antioxidant, and can even reduce the risk of cancer. a plant based diet also provides other valuable substances safe, not ex fawcett,
9:39 am
a little dietary fibers have a great a factory fees. they positively influenced the micro biome that for the whole in general, the quality of carbohydrates is much better if you eat chick peas and lagoons or nuts with valuable fatty acids on slack, fully fed to the all have. but what about eating a purely vague and died? the nutrition expert is reserved in her response. there's always the risk of a nutritional deficit. and especially when it comes to vitamin b 12, it's needed for cell division and blood formation. and it's pretty much only found in animal products in a strictly fagan diet. b 12 has to be supplemented in order to avoid the deficiency . in addition to b 12, there can also be deficits in calcium and omega 3 fatty acids, showing that talk make what color is always the question of how well we absorb a nutrient towards the natural. what is the bioavailability of these do trans hall
9:40 am
ashton's you have to be pretty knowledgeable about that? what contains, what, how do you combine fluid? and how can you prepare the meal to make iron think it's lennier more available specific bodies? what about omitting dairy products? the health benefits aren't clear, cut cheese, for example, often contains large quantities of fat. but to meeting them removes an important source of nutrients like calcium and iodine. studies provide evidence of reduced bone density in begins. but in the long term of the can die, i can have a positive influence on our health, for example, by reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes. and there are indications that the risk of cancer might be reduced as well. for example, colon cancer, physicals and student need side of the the fight. i know the big studies definitely
9:41 am
indicates the same thing that it reduces the risk of diabetes. you know, i've seen it over and over again in cross sectional studies. and in smaller cohort studies. i'm so there's a strong indication of a causal relationship, doc, i invite style stuff so. so what does this cause? it can be done. this is on the switch. medical expert says that eating a vegan diet requires a large amount of nutritional knowledge falls less hazel. that's integrated, a quote integrating plant base foods in your die. it always makes good sense of the lock diesel duty. she usually lacks law, but the data doesn't show that it has to be a purely vision diet to read the benefit. let's think on. see a note, but then you can nutrition as possible and can have a positive influence on your health. but it's not the only healthy way of eating the something that's perhaps even more controversial is the consumption of genetically modified
9:42 am
crops. nearly 20 years ago. the n t much, tim also became the world's 1st genetically modified organisms to be marketed for consumption boss. it didn't appeal to consumers in the us and cost because they were afraid of eating genetically modified food. it has to be pulled from the markets, but efforts to genetically optimize tomatoes, continue these to monetize lip deceptively normal. but some of them have magical powers. they've been edited to produce victim indeed, scientist hate. these plans will help to fight is very wide spread like a victim indeed. and humans. one of the world's major health problems research team and u. k. genetically manipulated the tomatoes with tiny genetic scissors, cool, crisp across 9. you can see here in the future while we grow up the wall top tomato, which is now just as molto,
9:43 am
and so our basement each month. so in parallel to recover this, how that differs within is that good thing is in tomato we didn't see any you loss or a gross defects for those. so i, this is most close and it just takes like tomatoes to make these tomatoes. the scientist fused the domestic scissors and change them on the cubic tomatoes. already have privates men. d 3, a close relative victim. indeed. prove it. 20 is actually a building local victim. indeed. over to me in the 3 to be exact. that's one of what he needs normally an enzyme, blue color will occur in the tomato yourselves, would use the private to men's d to produce another molecule collateral but the genetics is stop the enzyme in its tracks.
9:44 am
that means business as usual for prey, richmond, d. 3 permits men, d 3 can not be used to build victim. indeed. ready when private men d 3 is hit by the sun's rays, it's magically transformed into victim. indeed 3, that's the one we need to stay healthy. the modified victim, indeed tomato plants work just like the regular relatives. that's what the result just came. the seeds which carry the genetics seem to be photo and should go on to produce more plants with the victim. indeed in the. ready each gene edited fruit has around 2 micrograms of victim, indeed inside it, between 2 and a half and 7 of these tomatoes daily would provide us with the amount recommended by w h. o. the good news is to mazda is a popular in 202-1189 1000000 metric tons, with produced globally mold and sugar, but not as williams,
9:45 am
but not everybody's open to genetic deals to the food. in fact, how for the public think it's on the safe? that's what the pew research center found when they asked people in 20 countries between the years 2019 and 2020. the way the richmond d. tomatoes was produced with the genetic says as though it's close to nature, then you might think that's what the scientists claim. those mutations are called naturally equivalent. that's means it could happen in nature. the natural process. i think that's the beauty of searching. i just thing you don't bring any form james in the to month regina them. so they are that that is has been fixed in the some of those. you know, there's no other things can happen in those tomato lines need to 99 to now being tested in the field trials to see if they have any growth defects. and if they haven't equipment harvest,
9:46 am
they're also being tested on humans to see if they can absorb the victim. indeed, if need to also succeed, they might play a role in fighting the lack of victim. indeed, worldwide, a basement deficiency is a big house problem globally. and approximately 1000000 people worldwide stuff us from basement the insufficiency measuring and developing countries. so they're not developing countries. so and then the problem is we have very limited foot source of vision to especially basement these re early a few foods have consequential amounts of it to me in the inside. for example, fish an eggs the skin can also produce an amount of victim indeed itself. but i need to get some of some lights and it's hard to get sufficient amounts to determine from the source of the name. the victim indeed is vital for many,
9:47 am
for the functions that helps the body of so calcium and phosphate essential for binding strength strung bones and necessary to support the weights of our in bodies and to move to run on surround without enough victim. indeed, funds become portal and break much more user name, deficiency and victim indeed has also been linked to a number of illnesses including depression. now the scientists type these tomatoes could help a number of people people were stuck, committed, us getting with how problem the of, of self easily be lied, which is essential to produces the source of basement d by human. so that's why they're thinking africa also. um is, has a relatively high bas, empty deficiency rates and they've been their population and researches and looking at different ways to use the genetic editing techniques to possibly engineered in
9:48 am
tomatoes. also existing in other for the nations crops such as pep talk to so an over james. so this up i suppose of also a post both to be either said was accumulated to the amounts of for the probate. some of these rate that's also to walk about carry on a moment, tomato still need to pause clinical trials and off to it. there's no guarantee that there's some 1000000000 people that can victim indeed would eat them. but if the tomatoes succeed, the hope is fewer people would suffer from victim indeed deficiency. if i would let is read, why do you have a science question? send it to us in a video text or voice message. if we don't do it on the show, i will send you a little surprise as the thank you. hold on just task this
9:49 am
week, august, and comes from a how much below yellow from sierra leone. the how does no is effect plants, the, the world has been getting louder for decades. and it's not just humans and animals that suffer from the increasing noise levels. so do plans. they don't have years, but they can still receive sound waves. primes produced bessengers substances that they use to transport sensory stimuli to their organs by a network of these things. in 6 use the same process, these beat their wings at the very specific frequencies to stimulate the release of common in certain plans. this evening,
9:50 am
primrose responds to buzzing sounds. within minutes of detecting these are months, the sugar content and it's nectar increases by up to 20 percent. the studies have shown that fail. chris can even distinguish between certain sounds and tones. whenever the plan sensed, a predator, it secreted toxins to protect itself. but the vibrations of the wind didn't trigger the defense mechanism. experiments have shown that sounds can even change the activity of genes after 5 days of continuous noise. the activity of several genes change in the sale, chris and the activity of photosynthesis decreased. the noise also
9:51 am
affects plants by animals because it scares away birds and pollinating insect. the researches in the us studies of long term consequences. over a period of 15 years. they looked at the vegetation in quiet regions in places where a noise source had been removed. and in areas that had been subjected to the constant noise of natural gas mining. before the study began, the comparison of the 3 areas showed that constant noise decreased the biodiversity of vegetation. in the allowed areas, a certain pine had diminished by 75 percent. juniper trees need jays to spread their seats for reproduction. but the jays didn't return to areas after the noise source had been removed. other species had grown in place of the junipers, which shows that noise can have long term effects on plants, the
9:52 am
now for something completely different. when lions rule, they mocking the 2 or 3. but that doesn't always make it easy to determine the location. students at the design, university of technology have developed a digital acoustic device that can locate loud animals up to 500 meters away. and they tested on housing roles the this sound has given us chills since the dawn of time, the wolf. how is also an important sound for the game keepers who monitor them but keeping a close watch over them around the clock is impossible. a trip to the out with a game keeper is out with a young entrepreneur named olivia staley. staley wants to help gain keeper's
9:53 am
monitor wolds more efficiently with the help of artificial intelligence and a special device. wildlife, a wildlife unbox can automatically locate, will not buy their housing food. the housing of wolves can be heard from more than 3 kilometers away. so we can cover large areas completely cheaply and automatically when the, how it has been detected. it sends a message to the game keeper in real time, the sort to the device that's daily developed can locate a wolf's how to an accuracy of 500 meters. in my mind, from many animal monitoring methods require human made tools like photo traps space for the what was in particular can sometimes allude us exist. they remember where the photo traps are, because they don't like the flash or the sounds they make so. so they go around the photo traps on with our method before we want to trick the woods by engaging in
9:54 am
their methods of communication. and that way we can collect the data and photo feet and on the same sol, off the some and then, and we can actually cover this whole area here on that could be optic at the switch, federal institute of technology and most on stanley developed a device with 3 other students, they set up 30 devices in the area for their research. noah schmidt is the company's technical manager. this is you should, this is what we call the smart mike. it's a device based on the raspberry pi, a mini computer, if they're still in the computer, it has gps and cellular reception, which is used to transmit the audio, or that i would just throw books on the bit. the sounds are sent to the servers and the audio files are converted into images. ringback artificial intelligence evaluates the images and identifies whether or not it's a wolf cell who,
9:55 am
if a wolf is located, a game keeper gets a notification immediately. according to a game keeper, michael bonds at the devices could be used to prevent wolf attacks in monitor pac formation. or the device could also assist with shootings through to let them know the sooner that she would start the pack is a special protection status should add to the device. it tells you where the pack is for you. and you can determine if a female is with the pack moon and seeing which direction they're moving home and i don't know. and so if you know with the pack is, you know, you have to be careful about shooting loan wolves around the earliest, one was but he was supposed to meet, meet them and know it's really helpful with a specific fee low. their certificates, staley says several swiss regions are interested in the product as, as the world wildlife fund it's use doesn't have to be limited to europe. i may have to commit to submit this night and i'm afraid of ultimately we discovered that
9:56 am
this works for more than just the walls. we don't pay this push. we were in south africa in the spring and tested it on elephants, the lions, and hi eunice. and it working to in the bottom, being told from continue saying that it's an artificial intelligence could make handling wild animals much easier in the future. that was it for tomorrow. and today dw science program will have more exciting stories next week. pennsylvania state, curious by the
