    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetically_modified_food...

    The key areas of controversy related to genetically modified food (GM food or GMO food) are whether such food should be labeled, the role of government regulators, the objectivity of scientific research and publication, the effect of genetically modified crops on health and the environment, the effect on pesticide resistance, the impact of such ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_genetic_enhancement

    With the discovery of various types of immune-related disorders, there is a need for diversification in prevention and treatment. Developments in the field of gene therapy are being studied to be included in the scope of this treatment, but of course more research is needed to increase the positive results and minimize the negative effects of gene therapy applications. [27]

    After the ruling, glyphosate-resistant sugar beets could not be planted until USDA-APHIS filed an environmental impact statement (EIS), the purpose of which is to determine if environmental issues have negative effects on humans and the environment, and it may take two to three years to complete the study. After the EIS is completed, USDA-APHIS ...

    Modifying human embryos to give the CCR5 Δ32 allele protects them from the disease. An other use would be to cure genetic disorders. In the first study published regarding human germline engineering, the researchers attempted to edit the HBB gene which codes for the human β-globin protein. HBB mutations produce β-thalassaemia, which can be ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GMO_conspiracy_theories

    One GMO conspiracy theory was identified by biochemist Paul Christou and horticulturalist Harry Klee as a claim that development and promotion of GMOs was done by pesticide companies to cause crops to become more vulnerable to pests and therefore require more pesticides, [5] while philosopher Juha Räikkä identified a conspiracy theory that ...

  8. Genetically modified rice - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetically_modified_rice

    Genetically modified rice are rice strains that have been genetically modified (also called genetic engineering). Rice plants have been modified to increase micronutrients such as vitamin A , accelerate photosynthesis , tolerate herbicides, resist pests, increase grain size, generate nutrients, flavors or produce human proteins.

  9. Genetically modified food - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetically_modified_food

    The genetically modified organisms, including potato, tomato, and spinach are applied in the production of substances that stimulate the immune system to respond to specific pathogens. [15] With the help of recombinant DNA techniques, the genes encoded for viral or bacterial antigens could be genetically transcribed and translated into plant cells.
