Detection 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...

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...

Genetically modified mice- Methods, applications and outlook

Background & Aim: Transgenic mice, of tengenerated by random integration of foreign genes into the mouse genome or by targeted mutation in a particular gene, have demonstrated to be a very effective tool for studying gene function in living things. In this review article, we discussed on the current methods of generating genetically-modified mice and their related problems and then investigated...

Genetically Modified Food: Yes or No?

Swedish farmers attitudes, expectations and fears in relation to growing genetically modified crops.

This study evaluates a survey about Swedish farmers' attitude towards genetically modified (GM) crops, and their perception concerning potential benefits and drawbacks that cropping of an insect resistant (IR) GM variety would involve. The questions were "tick a box" choices, included in a yearly omnibus survey sent to 1000 Swedish farmers (68% response rate). The results showed that a majority...
