aThe data collected to date on the use of GM crops has found few examples of secondary effects, which would be deemed negative enough to result in actual problems at the ecosystem level. 数据在对GM庄稼的用途收集了迄今发现了次要作用的少量例子,将被视为足够消极导致实际问题在生态系水平。[translate...
There are examples of genetic modification changing plants in entirely unexpected ways. For example, 2 Genetically modified crops and food when researchers in Germany tried to boost the starch content of potatoes using genes from yeast and bacteria, they found that the starch content actually fell ...
The Royal Society briefing argues this approach is no longer justified given the evidence from 30 years of commercial use that crops developed with GM methods are no more likely to pose unpredictable risks than crops resulting from other breeding technologies. Instead, regulation should focus on asse...
This chapter details the different pressures and impacts (positive and negative) experienced by farmland biodiversity resulting from the cultivation of GM crops. Here, we present some examples – on a case-by-case basis – to illustrate not only the complexities of some of the issues (i.e. ...
funded GE crops. He provided examples of two options for assistance in developing GE crop products: the Small Crops Regulatory Assistance program, and the Of ce of International Programs at the Donald Danforth Plant Science Center. These organizations work within the current regulatory framework to ...
That might be the case in some foods, but now a days, most crops are grow genetically modified (GM). GM foods are foods that have been altered with a gene or protein from another living organism to give it a quality or characteristic that it never had before. Some examples of GM ...
FAO is grateful for the specific reviews on country examples provided by Canada, the European Union and United States of America. Technical contributions from several FAO colleagues, namely Brent Larson, El MamounAmrouk and John Ruane as well as from Giovanni Ferraiolo (Convention on Biological ...
Moreover, GM crops can be engineered to possess desirable traits such asdrought tolerance and enhanced nutritional content, addressing specific nutritional deficiencies prevalent in certain regions. One of the most prominent examples of GM food is genetically modified maize, which has been engineered to...

Genetically modified crops (GM crops or biotech crops) are plants used in agriculture, the DNA of which has been modified using genetic engineering methods. In most cases, the aim is to introduce a new trait to the plant which does not occur naturally in the species. Examples of traits in...
