GMO Research
Abstract: Health risk assessment of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) cultivated for food or feed is under debate throughout the world, and very little data have been published on mid- or long-term toxicological studies with mammals. One of these studies performed under the responsibility of Monsanto Company with a transgenic corn MON863 has been subjected to …
Abstract: Maize production in the United States is dominated by plants genetically modified with transgenes from Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt). Cry3Bb delta endotoxins expressed by Bt maize specifically target corn rootworms (genus Diabrotica) and have proven highly efficacious. However, development of resistance to Bt maize, especially among western corn rootworm (Diabrotica virgifera virgifera) populations, poses a …
Text: Последнее десятилетие отмечено значительным увеличением продуктов питания, полученных с использованием генной инженерии. Поэтому анализ проблем, возникших в России в связи с массовым поступлением на рынок страны продуктов питания из ГМО, а также поиск путей их решения являются актуальными задачами… Keywords: MON863, GMO, GMO soy Citation: Zakrevskii, V.V. and Zakrevskaya A.V., 2011. Modified organisms of plant origin in …
Abstract: To delay evolution of insect resistance to transgenic crops producing Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) toxins, nearby “refuges” of host plants not producing Bt toxins are required in many regions. Such refuges are expected to be most effective in slowing resistance when the toxin concentration in Bt crops is high enough to kill all or nearly …
Abstract: In South Korea, imported genetically modified (GM) soybean and maize have been approved for both human consumption and use in animal feed, but not for use in cultivation in fields. This study was conducted to survey the spread of GM soybean and maize in South Korea using multiplex-PCR analysis methods. Cultivated soybean, wild soybean, …
Abstract: Monitoring of genetically modified (GM) crops has been emphasized to prevent their potential effects on the environment and human health. Monitoring of the inadvertent dispersal of transgenic maize in several fields and transport routes in Korea was carried out by qualitative multiplex PCR, and molecular analyses were conducted to identify the events of the …
