Safety assessment of genetically modified crops.
The development of genetically modified (GM) crops has prompted widespread debate regarding both human safety and environmental issues. Food crops produced by modern biotechnology using recombinant techniques usually differ from their conventional counterparts only in respect of one or a few desirable genes, as opposed to the use of traditional breeding methods which mix thousands of genes and ...

well known in rats fed similar diets, and that the sample size (six rats) was too small to draw any conclusions. Following the production of the first transgenic plants, health issues The report by Ewen and Pusztai (1999) was seized concerning the safety of using genetically modified (GM) crops in foods and feeds have been discussed, debated, and evaluated. The upon by anti-GM advocates to supp...
متن کاملWhy genetically modified crops?
This paper is intended to convey the message of the talk I gave at the Theo Murphy meeting at the Kavli Centre in July 2010. It, like the talk, is polemical, and conveys the exasperation felt by a practitioner of genetically modified (GM) plant science at its widespread misrepresentation. I argue that sustainable intensification of agriculture, using GM as well as other technologies, reduces it...
متن کاملSafety assessment of genetically modified foods.
The development of novel foods produced through agricultural biotechnology is a complex three-stage process: gene discovery, line selection, and product advancement to commercialization. The safety of genetically modified foods is an integral part of the overall developmental process throughout all of the stages. In the discovery stage, the safety of the gene, its source, and the gene products ...
متن کاملSafety Assessment of Genetically Modified (GM) Foods
A genetically modified organism (GMO) is any living organism that has been manipulated at the level of its genome in a way that would not happen in nature. In theory, the DNA of any living organism can be manipulated, though most experience has been obtained through the genetic engineering of microorganisms (bacteria and viruses) and plants. However, a number of GM fish and GM animals have been...
