Abstract
Throughout the history of mankind, we have developed far more advanced techniques to cope with the challenges we face on the path of progression. No doubts, most of the problems are due to our greedy actions that ultimately led to a series of unforeseen consequences. One of them is the point of view on the use of genetically modified plants. It is a fact that today, we may have been facing a very different scenario if these transgenic plants don’t have existed at all. Most of the world would’ve been starved to death by now due to the daily exponential increase in population. But the ethical and other concerns on the use of these plants are still a major hurdle in the path of development of these beneficial florae. This review summarizes the sum of possible problems and major situations related to transgenic plants according to modern research.
Highlights
Modern biotechnology made it possible to transfer genetic material far efficiently that was thought impossible a couple of decades ago by using outdated conventional breeding techniques
The organisms that came into existence by this genetic material transfer process are called Genetically Modified Organisms (GMO’s)
The state has very precise biosafety regulation procedures in action to keep a track of all the exported products that are approved by the FDA in advance
Summary
Modern biotechnology made it possible to transfer genetic material far efficiently that was thought impossible a couple of decades ago by using outdated conventional breeding techniques. The organisms that came into existence by this genetic material transfer process are called Genetically Modified Organisms (GMO’s) These modified plants are enhanced in a manner that they show one way or other desirable characteristics of phenotype out in the field. The probable risks that may have a major concern are enlisted by World Conservation Union in 2004 which include whole native genome contamination, competition with wild types naturally occurring species, ecosystem alterations, inauspicious effects, deep-rooted effects, ecosystem aftermath, ethical concerns, substantial elimination due to adaptability process as well as horizontal allele transfers. Through regular observation interaction of several generations of GM plants with wild type mice, the transgenic ones were pushing the wild type out of the competition due to their better adaptation and survival capabilities In general terms, this co-existence result in non-target action toward normal wild type rice
