Abstract:

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 include their resistance to pests, diseases and non-biological stresses. Given that Iran is one of the countries that is a member of the International Biosafety Protocol and the competent legal authorities are responsible for detecting transgenic items and assessing their safety, therefore, identifying and examining the safety of these products is of particular importance. In this paper, we have tried to examine the new methods of identifying and tracking transgenic processes.

Detection of genetically modified maize and soybean in feed samples.

Despite the controversy about genetically modified (GM) plants, they are still incrementally cultivated. In recent years, many food and feed products produced by genetic engineering technology have appeared on store shelves. Controlling the production and legal presentation of GM crops are very important for the environment and human health, especially in terms of long-term consumption. In this...

Detection 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 ...

Monitoring of Genetically Modified Rice among Some Imported Rice Samples in Iran

Background: Genetically Modified (GM) foods are produced using genetic engineering. This survey attempted to identify the presence of GM rice varieties among some imported rice samples in Iran. Methods: From May to July 2016, a total of 50 samples of the imported rice to Iran were obtained, including 20 bulk rice samples from Bandar Abbas custom, Southern Iran and 30 retail rice samples from s...
