	Overall Picture of Auxinic Herbicide Action This animation summarizes how auxin and auxinic herbicides may turn on certain genes and how those gene products may alter plant growth.

	Accion Enzimatica Esta animaci�n es sobre la actividad de la EPSP sintasa.

	Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) This animation depicts the process of PCR. Each component involved in the process is outlined and described in this animation.

	Competencia Herbicida-Substrato Esta animaci�n es sobre la naturaleza competitiva del glifosato.

	Herbicide Uptake by Roots This animation shows how herbicides are taken up by roots and illustrates the path the herbicide takes across the root to reach the vascular system of the plant.

	Herbicide Uptake by Leaves and Cells This animation describes how herbicides are taken up by leaves and illustrates how physico-chemical characteristics alter their movement across cuticles. Passive and active mechanisms of herbicide absorption across plant membranes into cells are shown as well.

	Sub-Soil Contact This animation shows how plants uptake herbicides from the soil.

	Herbicide Resistance Illustrates how selection for herbicide resistance occurs.

	Taqman The Taqman probe detection system used in real time PCR (also known as quantitative PCR) is illustrated in this animation. One application of this method is use in GMO detection.

	Lateral Flow Strip Test This animation illustrates the concepts of protein detection using the lateral flow strip method. This method is simliar to ELISA and is utilized in detecting GMOs, among other applications.
