    Many controversies surround the use of genetically modified organisms in the production of food and crops in the United States and around the world. Although biotechnology has been around for centuries, in the last fifty years scientists have made innovations in the creation of new biotechnologies. Scientists have developed ways of genetically engineering the DNA of plants through genetic modification. Adjustments are made to the development, structure and composition by introducing precise DNA strings either from the same species or that of a variety of other plants (Halford). They modify certain DNA strings to produce desirable traits. We have spent billions of U.S. dollars on research, development and regulation of genetically…

    Plant transformation has its roots in the research on Agrobacterium that was being undertaken in the early 1980s. Advances in the technology have been due to development of a range of Agrobacterium-mediated and direct DNA delivery techniques, along with appropriate tissue culture techniques for regenerating whole plants from plant cells or tissues in a large number of species Agrobacterium-mediated genetic transformation is the dominant technology used for the production of genetically modified transgenic plants.…

    Genetically modified organisms(GMO) are plants, animals, microorganisms or other organisms whose genetic makeup has been altered using gene splicing, gene modification or transgenic technology. Most countries consider GMO’s not to be safe and have required all companies to label their products if they are GMO, and some nations have put a ban on GMOs entirely. The United States and Canada have approved GMOs, and do not require a label to be placed on genetically modified products. GMOs are being used to make crops grow easier and increase food production. Advances have been made to where plants can now grow in conditions where in other circumstances, would not be able to grow to their full potential. The positive aspects of genetic engineering…
