متن کاملGenetically Modified Organisms and Aquaculture
The production of appropriate genetically modified organisms (GMOs) offers considerable opportunities for more efficient and more effective aquaculture across a wide range of species. Although this potential is being realized in crop production with over 60 million hectares under cultivation, there has been no commercial use of GMOs in aquaculture. Here we review the nature of GMOs, the range o...
متن کاملThe biosafety policy on genetically modified organisms in Turkey.
Turkey has 75% of the total number of plant species found in Europe. It is this exceptional amount of biodiversity that places a huge responsibility on Turkey, to ensure that these species are adequately protected in order to prevent them from being endangered or becoming extinct. Of particular importance are species related to the crops on which much of world agriculture depends. Many of the f...
