Genetically modified foods
Method
Genetic modification is the insertion or deletion of genes. In the process of gene Cisgenesis artificially transferred between organisms that could be grown traditionally. In the process of transgenesis genes from different species are inserted, a form of horizontal gene transfer. In nature, this may occur when the exogenous DNA penetrates the cell membrane for some reason. To do so may require artificially set the genes of a virus or just physically insert the additional DNA in the nucleus of the original machine, with a small syringe, or with very small particles pulled by a gene gun. However, other methods of exploiting the natural form of gene transfer, such as the ability of Agrobacterium to transfer genetic material plant, and the ability of lentiviruses to transfer genes into animal cells.
Development
The first crop is grown commercial food everything was a genetically modified tomato (Call FlavrSavr), which was amended to mature, without softening a Californian company Calgene. Calgene has taken the initiative to obtain FDA approval for its launch in 1994, without special labeling, even if no approval was legally required. He was received by consumers who bought fruit at a substantial premium on the price of normal tomatoes. However, production problems and competition from a variety of classic race, life and prevented the product profitability. A variant of the Flavr Savr was used by Zeneca to produce tomato paste is sold in Europe in summer 1996. Labelling and prices were designed as a marketing experience, which was, at the same time, European consumers would accept genetically modified food.
Currently, there are a number of food species in which a genetically modified version exists.

These include alpha-amylase from bacteria, which converts starch into simple sugars pectinesterase chymosin bacteria or fungi that clots milk proteins to produce cheese, mushrooms and improve the clarity of fruit juice.
GM crop production
Between 1997 and 2005, the total area of land under GM crops has increased by a factor of 50, than 17,000 km2 (4.2 million hectares) and 900,000 km2 (222 million acres).
Although most GM crops are grown in North America in recent years has been rapid growth in area planted in developing countries. For example, in 2005 the largest increase in area planted with GM crops (soybeans), was in Brazil (94,000 km2 in 2005, against 50,000 km2 in 2004). It was also the continued rapid expansion of GM cotton varieties in India since 2002. (Cotton is an important source of vegetable cooking oil and food animals.) It is expected that in 2008 / 9 32 000 km2 of transgenic cotton harvested in India (over 100 percent from the previous season).
National Indian cotton yields by an average of GM cotton were seven times less in 2002 because the parental cotton plant used in alternative genetic engineering is not well adapted to the climate of India and failed. The publicity given to transgenic trait Bt-resistant insects has encouraged the adoption improved varieties of hybrid cotton to make, and the Bt trait has substantially reduced losses to insect predators. Despite the impacts benefits often controversial and contested, economic and environmental aspects of transgenic cotton in India for the farmer was documented.
In 2003, countries that have increased by 99% of global transgenic crops are the United States (63%), Argentina (21%), Canada (6%) Brazil (4%) China (4%) and South Africa (1%). The Grocery Manufacturers of America estimates that 75% of all processed foods in the United States contain an ingredient amended genetically. In particular, Bt corn, which produces the pesticide within the plant itself is widely cultivated, such as soybeans genetically designed to tolerate the herbicide glyphosate. They are "input-traits" are intended to benefit financially from producers, indirectly, benefits environmental and cost benefits to consumers.
United States, in 2006 89% of the area planted with soybeans, 83% cotton, corn and 61% were GM varieties. Genetically modified soybean resistant to herbicides in features, but corn and cotton is both herbicide tolerance and insect protection functions (the latter largely the Bacillus thuringiensis insecticidal protein Bt). In the period between 2002 and 2006, there was a significant increase in area planted Bt cotton and corn-protected and herbicide-tolerant corn has also increased the acreage.
Crop yields
Some scientific studies have argued that genetically modified plants do not produce higher yields of normal plants. However, other studies scientists dispute these claims. [Citation needed]
A study conducted by Charles Benbrook, Organic Center Chief Scientist, found that the genius gene Roundup Ready soybeans do not increase yields (Bendrook, 1999). The report reviewed over 8,200 university trials in 1998 and found that Roundup Ready soybeans produced 10.7% less than even the natural varieties. In addition, the same study found that farmers used 5-10 times more herbicide (Roundup) on Roundup Ready classic.
Coexistence and traceability
The United States and Canada do not require labeling of genetically modified foods. However, other regions, such as the European Union, Japan, Malaysia and Australia, governments need labels for consumers choose foods have been genetically modified, conventional or organic origins. This requires a system of labeling and separation sure between GM and non-genetically modified at the production level and throughout the processing chain. Research suggests that this may be impossible. [Citation needed]
For traceability, the OECD has presented a "unique identifier" that is given to the GMO when it is approved. This unique identifier should be sent to all stages of the process. [Citation needed] Many countries have established standards and guidelines on coexistence and traceability. Research projects such as Co-Extra, and Transcontainer SIGMEA aim to explore improved methods to ensure coexistence and provide stakeholders with the tools necessary for implementation of coexistence and traceability. [Citation needed]
Detection
Tests on GMOs in food and feed is routinely performed by molecular techniques such as DNA chips DNA or PCR. These tests can be based on elements of genetic testing (as p35S, NWT, fondling, or bar) or specific markers The official OMG event (such as maize MON810, Bt11, and GT73). The method combines multiplex PCR-based array and network technology to select samples for different GMOs potential of combining different approaches (sensitive elements, the plant-specific markers and specific markers of the event.)
QPCR was used to detect specific events using primers specific GMO detection elements or markers specific to the event. Controls are needed to avoid false positives or false negatives. For example, a test of CaMV is used to avoid false positives in the case of a virus in the sample contaminated.

Controversy
Article: controversial genetically modified foods genetically
While it is clear there is a food supply problem, the question is whether GM can solve global problems of hunger. Many scientists say that to meet food demand in the developing world, a second green revolution, with increased use of GM crops is needed. Others argue that is more than enough food in the world and that hunger crisis is caused by problems in food distribution and politics, not production. Recently, some critics have changed their minds on the question concerning the need of supplementary food.
Genetic modification is analogous to energy nobody likes nuclear, but climate change has become imperative that their adoption, "said economist Paul Collier of Oxford University. "The decline in GM is a complex issue more complex. Genetic modification provides a more rapid adjustment of farming and, instead of chemicals, the approach of higher yields. "
On the other hand, many believe that FMG has not been a success and that we should devote our efforts and money on something else. need and improve the biodiversity of working with nature cycles nutrients and water, not against them, "said Vandana Shiva. Shiva, founder of Navdanya, the movement of 500,000 caregivers of seeds and organic farmers in India, says that the GMF has not increased yields. Recently, Doug Gurian-Sherman, a member of the Union of Concerned Scientists, an advocacy group of scientists from nonprofits, released a report entitled ailurids Performance by stating that a record of nearly 20 years, GM crops have increased yields.
Adopt a more technical help farmers produce GMF, despite obstacles or environmental barriers. lthough the new technologies must be tested before being put on the market, we must be aware of the risks of not releasing all, "said Professor Per Pinstrup-Andersen, Food, Nutrition and Public Policy at the University Cornell University. Per Pinstrup-Anderson argues that the ideology isguided against science and failure of governments to give priority to development agricultural and rural development in developing countries has brought us the food crisis. It clearly shows the challenge The challenge is not whether we have enough resources to produce, but if we change our behavior.
Economic and political effects
Approval of GM crops in the United States.
Many supporters of genetically modified crops that require less pesticide use and led to higher yields and profitability farmers, including those in developing countries.
The United States has experienced widespread adoption of genetically modified crops cotton and soybeans in the last decade (see figure).
In August 2003, Zambia cut off the supply of genetically modified foods (Mainly corn) United Nations World Food Programme. This left a population hit by famine without food aid.
In December 2005, The Zambian government has changed its mind in the face of hunger more and allowed the import of GM maize. However, Agriculture Minister Mundia Sikatana Zambia has insisted that the ban on genetically modified maize continues: "We do not want genetically modified (GM) and our hope that we can all continue to produce non-GM foods. "
In April 2004, Hugo Chávez announced a total ban seed GM Venezuela.
In January 2005, the Hungarian government announced a ban on the import and planting of genetic resources modified corn seeds, which was subsequently approved by the EU.
On 18 August 2006, exports of U.S. rice to Europe have was interrupted when a large portion of the crop of the United States has been confirmed to be contaminated with modified genes unapproved probably due to accidental cross-pollination with conventional crops.
Environment Minister February 9, 2010, India, Jairam Ramesh, imposed a moratorium on the cultivation of GMF "for the time necessary to establish public confidence." His decision was made after protests from several groups to respond to regulatory approval of Bt brinjal, eggplant GM in October 2009.
Intellectual Property
Traditionally, farmers of all nations to save their own seeds from year to year. Allowed to continue this practice with seeds Modified GM could lead to seed developers lose their ability to benefit from upgrades. Therefore genetically modified are subject to authorization by the developers in the contracts that are written to prevent farmers to continue this traditional practice. Many objections to genetically modified food crops modified to reflect this change.
Main article: Monsanto Canada Inc. v. Schmeiser
Enforcement of patents on genetically modified plants is often contradictory, gene flow in particular. In 1998, 95-98 percent of planted some 10 km2 rapeseed by Canadian farmer Percy Schmeiser was found to contain Monsanto's patented Roundup Ready gene Society, although Schmeiser had never bought Monsanto seed. The initial source of the plants was uncertain, and could be through either gene flow or intentional theft. However, the predominance overwhelming integrated functionality that Schmeiser must have intentionally selected for it. The court found that Schmeiser had saved seed in areas in and near his property where Roundup had been sprayed, such as ditches and power poles nearby.
Although unable to prove the direct flight, Monsanto sued Schmeiser for piracy and informed because of increased plant Roundup Ready without paying copyright (Ibid). The case before the Supreme Court, which ruled 5-4 in 2004 in favor of Monsanto. The dissent focused on the fact that Monsanto's patent covers only the gene itself and the cells resistant to glyphosate, and can not cover all the transgenic plants. All judges agreed that Mr. Schmeiser was not required to pay damages because he had not benefited from its use of genetically modified seeds.
In response to critics, Canadian director of Monsanto's public relations stated that "it is not, it has not been the policy of Monsanto Canada to enforce its patent on Roundup Ready crops when present in a farmer's field by accident … Only when there was a conscious and deliberate violation of Monsanto's patent rights act. "
Developments future
Future actions envisaged applications of GMOs are diverse and include drugs in food, bananas that produce human vaccines Infectious diseases such as hepatitis B, metabolic engineering of fish that mature more quickly, fruit trees and nuts in previous years, performance, food does not contain the common properties associated with intolerance, and that the plants produce new plastics with properties Unique. Although its functionality or efficacy in commercial production has not yet been fully tested, the next decade could see an exponential increase in the development of genetically modified products that increase researchers better access to resources genome that are applicable to organisms beyond the scope of individual projects. Safety tests of these products also in the same time, ensure that the perceived benefits exceed the costs actually charged and hidden development. Plant scientists, supported by the results Complete profiles of modern crop composition, noting that crops modified by genetic modification techniques are less likely to undesirable changes which are traditional cultures.
Health Risks
U.S. FDA Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition to approve the characteristics nutritional GM food based on the comparability of food produced conventionally. The following table shows foods that received approval from the FDA since 2002.
A 2008 study published by the Royal Society Medicine noted that genetically modified have been consumed by millions of people worldwide for over 15 years without reports of adverse reactions. Similarly, a 2004 report from the National Academy of Sciences said: "To date, no adverse health effects attributed to genetic engineering have been documented in human population. "Worldwide, there are a number of perspectives among NGOs on the safety of GM foods. For example, U.S. to peer pressure AgBioWorld GM argued that GM foods have been proven safe, while other groups and consumer advocacy, such as the Consumers Association and organic Greenpeace say the long-term risks of GM could pose health or environmental risks associated with GM have not yet been investigated adequately.
In 1998, the Rowett Research Institute Scientific SPR Pusztai reported that consumption of potatoes genetically modified to contain lectin had intestinal adverse effects in rats. Pusztai has finally published an article co-authored by Stanley Ewen, in the Lancet. The document showing that rats fed GM potatoes with snowdrop lectin had unusual changes in their intestinal tissue compared to rats fed potato non-GM. The experience has been criticized by other scientists on the grounds that the apples unmodified potatoes were a control system fairly and that all the rats may have been ill, because they are fed a diet potatoes only.
In 2010, three researchers have published a new analysis of statistical power of three tests that had been published previously by others as creating the Safety of GM maize. The new section requires that its statistics show instead that the three patented crops (Mon 810, Monday to 863, NK 603) built and operated by Monsanto to the liver, kidney damage and heart in mammals. A new analysis some of these previous data by the same group of scientists was evaluated by a group of toxicologists an independent study funded Monsanto and published in the Journal of Food and Chemical Toxicology, respondents said that the study was statistically flawed and does provided no evidence of adverse effects.
Gene transfer
In January 2009, there was only one study on human food the effects of genetically modified foods. The study involved seven human volunteers who had already had her large intestine removed. These volunteers have been eating GM soy to see if GM soy DNA transferred to bacteria living naturally in the gut rights. The researchers identified three of the seven volunteers transgenic soybean transgenes transferred to bacteria living in your gut even though no gene transfer occurred during the study. In volunteers complete digestive tract, the transgene did not survive passage through the digestive system intact. anti-GMO advocates say the study should prompt further testing to determine its meaning.
A study on possible effects of genetically modified foods fed to animals that are there no significant differences in safety and nutritional value of animal feed containing genetically modified plant material. Specifically, the study noted that no trace of recombinant DNA or novel proteins have been found in samples of organs or tissues from animals GMP fed plants.
Allergies
In mid-1990 Pioneer Hi-Bred tested the allergenicity of transgenic soybean storage protein Brazil nut seeds in the hope that the seeds have increased levels of the amino acid methionine. Testing (RAST tests, immunoblotting and skin prick test) have shown that people allergic to Brazil nuts are also allergic to new transgenic soybeans. Pioneer said it will develop commercial cultivars containing proteins because the protein from Brazil nuts may be an allergen.
