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.
