Detection of Genetically Modified Maize in Imported Animal Feed
Due to population growth in the coming years, adequate food supply is the world's biggest problem, and it seems that one way to meet this need is to produce transgenic products. Transgenic products are created using modern technology to create or enhance a desirable property, such as increasing resistance to weeds or improving nutritional properties. The advantages of transgenic products includ...
متن کاملDetection of Genetically Modified Maize in Imported Animal Feed
Genetically modified crops are produced using modern biotechnology to create or increase desirable traits such as increased efficiency or resistance to unfavorable factors. In recent years, Almost 200 million hectares of world crop acreage planted with GM crops including maize, so it is possible that GM maize has been imported to Iran especially as animal feed. Therefore, 25 samples of imported...
متن کاملA method to search for optimal field allocations of transgenic maize in the context of co-existence.
Spatially isolating genetically modified (GM) maize fields from non-GM maize fields is a robust on-farm measure to keep the adventitious presence of GM material in the harvest of neighboring fields due to cross-fertilizations below the European labeling threshold of 0.9%. However, the implementation of mandatory and rigid isolation perimeters can affect the farmers' freedom of choice to grow GM...
متن کاملCross-fertilization between genetically modified and non-genetically modified maize crops in Uruguay.
The cultivation of genetically modified (GM) Bt maize (Zea mays L.) events MON810 and Bt11 is permitted in Uruguay. Local regulations specify that 10% of the crop should be a non-GM cultivar as refuge area for biodiversity, and the distance from other non-GM maize crops should be more than 250 m in order to avoid cross-pollination. However, the degree of cross-fertilization between maize crops ...
متن کاملDetection of genetically modified maize in processed foods sold commercially in Iran by qualitative PCR
Detection of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) in food is an important issue for all the subjects involved in food control and customer’s right. Due to the increasing number of GMOs imported to Iran during the past few years, it has become necessary to screen the products in order to determine the identity of the consumed daily foodstuffs. In this study, following extraction of genomic DNA ...
