[SIZE=14.6667px]Name:[/SIZE][SIZE=14.6667px] [/SIZE][SIZE=14.6667px]Genetically Modified Grain (Morgain Industries)[/SIZE]
[SIZE=14.6667px]Homeworld:[/SIZE][SIZE=14.6667px] [/SIZE][SIZE=14.6667px]Pii; Host Planet[/SIZE]
[SIZE=14.6667px]Development Thread:[/SIZE][SIZE=14.6667px] [/SIZE][SIZE=14.6667px]As Needed[/SIZE]
[SIZE=14.6667px]Average Measurements:[/SIZE][SIZE=14.6667px] [/SIZE]
- [SIZE=14.6667px]Seed: 3-4 mm[/SIZE]
- [SIZE=14.6667px]Full Grown Stalk: Between 1-3 meters, depending on genetic stock and growing conditions of host planet[/SIZE]
[SIZE=14.6667px]Distinctions:[/SIZE][SIZE=14.6667px] [/SIZE][SIZE=14.6667px]This grain typically has a thicker stalk, and a wider head than standard grains cultivated naturally.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=14.6667px]Strengths: [/SIZE]
- [SIZE=14.6667px]With proper modifications, these grains can be sown and reaped on planets with almost any atmospheric type.[/SIZE]
- [SIZE=14.6667px]Iterations of this grain can be modified to produce more or resist environmental stresses better.[/SIZE]
- [SIZE=14.6667px]Due to the modification process, these grains drain a lands nutrients faster, requiring a carefully monitored rotation schedule.[/SIZE]
- [SIZE=14.6667px]The less like a Type I atmosphere an environment is, the less effective the genetic modifications are.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=14.6667px]Average Life:[/SIZE][SIZE=14.6667px] [/SIZE][SIZE=14.6667px]Around 293 days if allowed to mature to death without reaping. After reaping, assuming proper storage techniques, this grain will remain viable for roughly 375 days.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=14.6667px]Nutritional Value:[/SIZE][SIZE=14.6667px] [/SIZE][SIZE=14.6667px]The modifications to this grain allow a single stalk to feed the equivalent of a square yard of unaltered grain stock. It has a high level of fiber, and a surplus of vitamins, assuming a normal near-human diet requirement.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=14.6667px]History:[/SIZE][SIZE=14.6667px] [/SIZE][SIZE=14.6667px]Morgain Industries has long been in the business of farming. From its very humble roots as a simple farm management cooperative, sowing, tilling, and reaping has been the cornerstone of their business. As science has developed, and Morgain Industries grew, they have expanded their portfolio to include modified crops. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=14.6667px]One of the first crops to be modified were grains. They contain a high number of natural nutrients, and are generally easy to grow with the proper training and equipment. To modify the grains, Morgain takes their base grain DNA, which is based on the crops from the planet Pii III, and splices it with a grain DNA sequence either collected or synthesized from samples taken on the host planet. The DNA sequences are then maturated and tested in an environmental dome programed to that world’s specifications. Sequence tweaks follow until they have an appropriate grain that will successfully grow on the host planet.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=14.6667px]Intent:[/SIZE][SIZE=14.6667px] [/SIZE][SIZE=14.6667px]To create a generic profile for Morgain Industries’ enhanced grain product line[/SIZE]
