Beside public concerns against GM products, some of the scientists claim it is a vital tool to improve plant breeding in the future, while others emphasize potential harmful effects of the technology. In this paper, advantages, risks, and some technological developments of GMOs technology were ...
1. The production imposes high risks to the disruption of ecosystem and biodiversity because the “better” traits produced from engineering genes can result in the favouring of one organism. Hence, it can eventually disrupt the natural process of gene flow. 2. It increases...
Between 1997 and 2009, the total surface area of land cultivated with GMOs had increased, from 4.2 million acres to 331 million acres. By 2006, in the United States 89% of soybeans, 83% of cotton, and 61% of maize (corn) were genetically modified. Although most GM crops are grown in...
