OGM project

1) Introduction

A GMO is an organism whose genetic material has been alterned using genetic

engineering techniques.

These techniques, generally known as recombinant DNA technology.

For example, we introduce short sequence of gene from Bacillus thurigiensis in

a plant. This plant will can protect themselves from insect without any external

synthetic pecticide spray. Because BT genes in plant express a protein that kills

insects.

2) GM vs cloning

Introduce new genes into an organism that means this organism become

different from its parent genes. This generation modified transmit genes to its

offspring.

For example, the gm salmon reaches maturity in half the time of wild salmon,

the gm salmon will pass genes of growth hormone to his offspring.

While cloning is the creation of an exact copy of an organism.

This means that DNA cloned organism is the same as the original.

GM crops in the world

What are the main gm food ? Rice, papaya, tomatoes, potatoes, corn, cotton,

soy diary products peas, rapessed

Which countries produce the most gm crops ? US 73 BRAZIL 42 ARGENTINA 24

INDIA AND CANADA 11 MA HECTARES

Where are GMOs grown and banned ?

In russia, venezuela the cultivation and importation is forbidden

In EU, the cultivation is forbidden but the importation is allowed. Issues

There are organization that are against GMOs, for example environment group

like non project gmo and organic consumers association, they are still

discourage consumption in many countries for many reasons.

Example, gm crops may be largely responsible for the dying off of many insects

including honey bees and monarch butterflies.

In US, south america, asia, the cultivation and importation is allowed
