Genetically modified organisms are “an organism whose genome has been modified in order to promote the expression of desired physiological traits or the production of desired biological products”. http://www.merriam-webster.com/concise/geneically%20modified%20organism%20(gmo). The United States was first authorized for human consumption of genetically modified foods in 1995. Techniques used to produce genetically engineered organisms include recombinant DNA cloning technology. The main uses of genetically modified organisms are mainly in the fields of agriculture and biomedical research. GMOs undermine many benefits to society, including increasing agricultural yields and developing new therapeutic agents that prevent and treat a wide variety of human diseases. However, there are some concerns about the use of genetically modified organisms, including risks to human health and the emergence of insecticide-resistant superbugs. This trial will provide evidence to support the proof that genetic modifications of crops produce better results than selection or mutation. Crops have one or more genes encoding the traits desired for insertion. Genes come from similar or additional plant species or also from unrelated organisms. These are traits targeted by genetic engineering that are often the same as those followed by conventional breeding. An advantage of genetically modified crops is higher yield; this means that the crop will produce more harvests than a crop that is not modified. A significant share of genetically modified crops is grown in developed countries. Over the past two years, there has been a steady increase in the amount of ...... middle of paper ......productivity. Genetically modified crops decrease growing time, allowing crops to be brought to market sooner. Increased total yield and stress tolerance allows farmers to farm in previously hostile locations. This has become even more essential as less agricultural land is available to increase the needs of the population. Genetically modified organisms help increase crop resistance to disease. Creating plants that are genetically resistant to diseases such as pests and herbicides initially reduces the risk of crop losses. Crop losses due to insect pests are not only financially painful for farmers, but also for developing countries, leading to famine. In addition, reducing the use of pesticides helps reduce the overall cost of bringing crops to market. This benefits both the farmer and the consumer.
