Non-transgenic soybeans select genetic changes through the survival of the fittest in nature. Thereby eliminating the potential harm that genetically modified food may cause to human body. Long-term consumption is safe and reliable.

In 20 13, Heilongjiang's non-GMO soybean industry was in crisis. According to the judgment of relevant experts, if no rescue measures are taken, non-GMO soybeans in China may die out within a few years.

Market transformation

The best soybean producing area in the world is in the northeast of China (non-transgenic), and the price is very high. China exports these soybeans to the United States, and then imports the money from the United States. Genetically modified soybeans are cheap because of their high yield, and they also produce high oil. In this way, the amount of soybeans returned to China has increased by 3-4 times, mainly made into soybean oil, which is cheap.

Market welcome rate

In Britain and Japan, more than 95% people don't accept genetically modified food. Genetically modified food should be clearly marked and extremely cheap, but few people buy it.

Market situation

Due to a large number of imported soybeans, the soybean industry in China is facing a serious crisis, and 90% of non-GM soybean processing enterprises in Heilongjiang Province stop production at a loss. According to experts' judgment, if no rescue measures are taken, non-GM soybeans in China may be extinct within a few years. If soybean depends entirely on imports, the impact on the prices of grain, oil, feed and agricultural and sideline products in China will be immeasurable.

At the same time, farmers have abandoned planting soybeans. According to the statistics of Heilongjiang Soybean Association, there are 88 oil processing enterprises with a daily processing capacity of more than 200 tons, with an annual processing capacity of about 6,543,800 tons. However, more than 90% of non-GMO soybean processing enterprises have stopped production, and the actual processing capacity is only about 2 million tons. Non-GMO soybean processing enterprises have reached the edge of "collective closure".

If you want to know what is non-transgenic, that is, not genetically modified, you must first understand genetically modified.

The difference between the two:

Non-genetically modified crops are crops planted in China according to seeds selected for thousands of years!

What is genetically modified?

Transgenic crops isolate one (or several) genes from organisms through biotechnology, and then implant them into another organism, thus cultivating organisms with new characters. For example, scientists believe that a gene in arctic fish has antifreeze effect, so they extract it and implant it into tomatoes to make a new variety of cold-resistant tomatoes, which is a genetically modified organism. Foods containing genetically modified organisms are called genetically modified foods.

Gene crops are organisms that separate one (or several) genes from organisms through biotechnology and then implant them into another organism to obtain new characteristics. For example, Bt transgenic rice refers to the transfer of insect-resistant genes of certain bacteria in soil into rice, so that rice has insect-resistant characteristics. So far, the long-term safety of genetically modified foods to human health is still inconclusive.

Genetically modified organisms contain foreign genes, which is completely new to natural ecosystems. If released into the environment, it will change the competitive relationship between species, destroy the original natural ecological balance, and lead to species extinction and biodiversity loss. Genetically modified organisms will reproduce themselves in nature and cross with their close relatives, so that foreign genes will spread in an uncontrollable way in nature, causing irreparable genetic pollution.

Scientific research on the impact of genetically modified crops and food on environment and health

20 10 In May, researchers from Institute of Plant Protection, Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences found that the number of blind stinkbug in transgenic cotton fields was increasing day by day after more than 0/0/0 years of field tracking experiments, and it became another major cotton pest besides cotton bollworm. The research results were published in the journal Science.

From June 5438 to October 2008 10, scientists from the Italian National Institute of Food and Nutrition found that the immune system of mice was affected after eating genetically modified corn. The research results were published in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry.

From June, 5438 to October, 2007 10, environmental scientists at Indiana University in the United States found that planting all kinds of genetically modified corn in a large area may have an impact on aquatic ecosystem. The research results were published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

From June 5438 to1October 065438, 2005, a study by the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization of Australia showed that a four-week experiment showed that mice fed with transgenic peas had inflammation in their lungs, and mice had allergic reactions and were more sensitive to other allergens. The research results were published in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry.

List of genetically modified crops and food pollution incidents

In 20 10, Greenpeace Beijing office found illegal transgenic rice seeds, rice and rice products in circulation in the markets of Hubei, Hunan, Jiangxi, Fujian and Guangdong.

In 2009, the Beijing Office of Greenpeace discovered the illegal cultivation of genetically modified papaya in Hainan Province.

In 2008, rape fields in Belgium were polluted by genetically modified crops.

In 2006, Bayer's unapproved genetically modified rice was discovered in 32 countries (including China). It is estimated that the global economic loss caused by this pollution incident is as high as 710.2 billion US dollars (about 5.5-9.5 billion RMB).

In 2006, Greenpeace discovered illegal genetically modified rice in a supermarket in Guangzhou. The same genetically modified ingredients were also found in Heinz baby food sold in Beijing, Guangzhou and Hong Kong.

From September 2006 to 2008, this genetically modified rice ingredient was also found in rice products exported from China to France, Britain, Germany and other European countries.

In 2005, Greenpeace discovered that illegal transgenic insect-resistant rice was planted in a large area in Hubei.

In 200 1 year, Nature published an article, which reported that local varieties in Mexico were polluted by genetically modified corn.

In 2003, pollution was found in many states in Mexico, including all states, and there was even evidence that some local varieties were contaminated by more than four kinds of genetically modified corn.

In 2000, a genetically modified corn named "Xinglian" was found in human food, but it was only approved as animal feed because it may cause allergies. In order to recycle more than 300 kinds of food that may contain Xinglian corn in the market, the relevant companies paid about $654.38 billion.

About transgene

The theoretical basis of transgenic technology comes from molecular biology derived from evolution. The source of gene fragment can be the target gene needed to extract the genome of a specific organism, or the DNA fragment with a specific sequence can be artificially synthesized. The DNA fragment is transferred to a specific organism, recombined with its own genome, and then generations are artificially selected from the recombinant to obtain individuals with stable performance of specific genetic traits. This technology can increase the expected new characters of recombinant organisms and cultivate new varieties.

"Genetically modified", a word that has been endlessly disputed around the world, has become one of the top ten scientific and technological hot words in Global Science magazine in 20 14. The key to the debate is whether human beings can replace God and transform nature according to their ideas. After all, humans once thought that the earth was the center of the universe.

2015 65438+1013, the plenary session of the European parliament passed a decree, allowing EU member States to choose to approve, prohibit or restrict the cultivation of genetically modified crops in their own countries according to their respective conditions. The decree will also be submitted to the European Council, and if all goes well, it will come into effect this spring.

Technical purpose

(1) Extraction of target gene DNA fragments with target genes are separated from the complex genome of biological organisms, or the target genes are synthesized artificially, or the corresponding gene fragments are extracted from gene banks and the target genes are propagated by PCR technology.

(2) Combining the target gene with the vector outside the cell, and connecting the DNA fragment containing the target gene to the self-replicating vector molecule (usually plasmid, T4 bacteriophage, animal and plant virus, etc.). ) by cutting and combining to form recombinant DNA molecules.

(3) Introducing the target gene into the recipient cell, injecting the recombinant DNA molecule into the recipient cell (also called host cell or host cell), and expanding the cell with the recombinant to obtain a large number of cell propagators.

(4) Screening of target genes: from a large number of cell breeding populations, recombinant cells with recombinant DNA molecules are screened with corresponding reagents.

(5) The expression of the target gene will make the recombinant cells proliferate and obtain the corresponding expressed functional protein, which shows the expected characteristics and meets people's requirements.

Identification method

Artificial transgenic technology and artificial hybridization technology are two concepts. Plant hybridization is a process of gene recombination, which does not change the reproductive characteristics, but has the possibility of combining high-quality genes, and basically does not produce mutant genes, that is, there is no crop that deprives it of its basic characteristics. It can be obtained by protoplast fusion, cell recombination, free combination and transfer of its own genetic material and its own chromosome engineering technology, without changing the genetic characteristics of plants, and can improve the high-quality rate, thus cultivating new crop varieties with high yield, high quality, antiviral, insect-resistant, cold-resistant, drought-resistant, waterlogging-tolerant, salt-tolerant and so on.

Artificial hybridization technology can be divided into plant hybridization and hybrid animal husbandry. Plant hybridization refers to sexual reproduction between related species, and grafting does not belong to this category. Somatic hybridization technology can achieve distant hybridization (such as laver cabbage, tomato and potato).

Hybrid animal husbandry refers to the planned mating between two different inbred lines. The first generation of animals produced by hybridization has the high-quality characteristics inherited by two parents, which is used to improve the quality of livestock, with normal growth cycle and normal reproductive ability.

Since humans planted crops, our ancestors have never stopped genetically improving crops. In the past thousands of years, the main way to improve crops is to select and use excellent genes and recombinants produced by natural mutation, and accumulate excellent genes through random and natural methods. On the basis of genetics, animal and plant breeding in the past hundred years has adopted artificial hybridization to recombine excellent genes and introduce foreign genes to realize genetic improvement.

Therefore, artificial transgenic technology has the same purpose as traditional technology, and its essence is genetic improvement by obtaining excellent genes. However, there are two important differences between artificial transgenic technology and traditional breeding technology in the scope and efficiency of gene transfer.

First of all, the traditional technology can only transfer genes between individuals within a species, while the genes transferred by artificial transgenic technology are not limited by the genetic relationship between organisms.

Secondly, the traditional hybridization and selection techniques are generally carried out at the individual level, and the object of operation is the whole genome, and a large number of genes are transferred, so it is impossible to operate and select a certain gene accurately, and the performance of offspring is poor. However, artificial transgenic technology generally operates and transfers clearly defined genes, which have clear functions and can accurately predict the performance of future generations.

Therefore, artificial transgenic technology is the development and supplement of traditional technology. Combining them closely can complement each other and greatly improve the efficiency of improving animal and plant varieties.

application area

At present, transgenic technology has been widely used in medicine, industry, agriculture, environmental protection, energy, new materials and other fields.

Drug field

At present, there are genetically engineered vaccines, genetically engineered insulin and genetically engineered interferon. The gene splicing technology or DNA recombination technology (that is, transgenic technology) adopted by it refers to the directional transformation of biological genetic traits according to people's wishes, so as to produce gene products that human needs, thus producing pharmaceutical raw materials and lifetime drugs.

Genetic engineering vaccine

Using DNA recombination biotechnology, natural or synthetic genetic material is directionally inserted into bacteria, yeast or mammalian cells to fully express it, and then purified to make vaccines. Genetic engineering technology can be used to produce subunit vaccines without infectious substances, stable attenuated vaccines and multivalent vaccines that can prevent many diseases.

Some genetically engineered vaccines that have been commercialized;

Hepatitis B vaccine, hepatitis C vaccine, pertussis genetically engineered vaccine, rabies genetically engineered inactivated vaccine, enterovirus 7 1 genetically engineered vaccine, enterotoxin-producing Escherichia coli genetically engineered vaccine, rotavirus genetically engineered vaccine, Asian foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) infection epitope recombinant protein vaccine, Toxoplasma gondii genetically engineered vaccine, enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli genetically engineered vaccine, etc.

Genetically engineered insulin

At the theme activity of the 7th United Nations Diabetes Day held on 20 13, experts attending the meeting pointed out that "at present, the number of diabetic patients in China is1.1.400 million, which is the world 1/3". The cause of diabetes is insufficient insulin secretion or impaired biological function, so the most commonly used treatment method is to supplement insulin in the human body by injecting insulin. To obtain insulin, it can only be extracted from the pancreas of cattle and pigs at first. However, only 4-5 grams of insulin can be extracted from animal pancreas per 100 kg, and the yield is low, which is far from meeting the needs of patients.

In the early 1980s, an American company realized the industrial production of human insulin through transgenic technology. Its principle is to "cut" the part of human gene that is responsible for expressing insulin and transfer it to Escherichia coli or yeast, and realize the mass production of human insulin through the rapid proliferation of the latter. Most diabetics in the world have received good insulin treatment.

The industrialization case of genetic engineering hepatitis B vaccine;

The National Health and Family Planning Commission announced on July 26, 20 13 that among the 350 million hepatitis B virus carriers in the world, there are nearly 654.38 billion people in China, and China accounts for nearly half of the 700,000 deaths related to viral hepatitis in the world every year. The number of reported cases of hepatitis B in China ranks first among all legal infectious diseases for many years, accounting for about 1/3 of the total number of infectious diseases.

In 1980s, the transgenic hepatitis B vaccine was successfully developed. Its principle is to "cut" the hepatitis B virus gene fragment responsible for expressing surface antigen and transfer it to yeast. When the yeast with HBV gene grows, it will produce hepatitis B surface antigen. Yeast is a kind of organism that can grow and reproduce rapidly, so hepatitis B surface antigen is produced in large quantities. This vaccine technology was introduced to China in 1994, and then two production lines were built. On September 1997, the Ministry of Health issued the Notice on Issues Concerning the Substitution of Genetic Hepatitis B Vaccine for Blood-borne Hepatitis B Vaccine with Wei Yaofa (1997) No.57, stipulating that the collection of positive plasma should be stopped from June 1998+0; In the first half of 0998, 65438+positive plasma was allowed to be put into production; The use period of qualified blood-borne hepatitis B vaccine will end in 2000. After 200 1, all genetically engineered hepatitis B vaccines with high safety will be used. ? [2 1]?

In the same year, the transgenic hepatitis B vaccine using yeast was officially approved for production. Since then, hepatitis B vaccine has finally been produced on a large scale, and the China government has also started to vaccinate and even replant hepatitis B vaccine for children free of charge. From 2009 to 20 1 1 year, China carried out the free vaccination of hepatitis B vaccine for people under the age of 15, and more than 68 million people were vaccinated. The development of comprehensive free vaccination has reduced the chronic hepatitis B infection rate of children under 5 years old in China to below 1%. The number of new hepatitis B infections in China has also dropped to 654.38 million+people every year. According to the data of the Health Planning Commission, from 1992 to 2009, 80 million people were prevented from being infected with hepatitis B virus, nearly 20 million carriers of hepatitis B virus surface antigen were reduced, and 4.3 million people died of cirrhosis and liver cancer. ? [22]?

Food field

Using molecular biology technology, some biological genes are transferred to crops, and the genetic material of organisms is transformed into the goals needed by human beings in terms of traits, nutritional quality and consumption quality, so as to obtain transgenic crops. Broadly speaking, foods made from genetically modified organisms and processed as raw materials, as well as derived foods obtained by feeding livestock, can be called genetically modified foods. Because its security is widely questioned, there is still great controversy in the international community.

Its research has a history of several decades, but its real commercialization is nearly ten years. In the early 1990s, the first genetically modified food appeared in the United States, which is a kind of fresh-keeping tomato. This research was originally successful in Britain, but the British did not dare to commercialize it, so Americans became the first people to eat crabs, which made the conservative British regret it. Since then, genetically modified foods have not been accepted. According to statistics, there are 43 genetically modified varieties recognized by the US Food and Drug Administration.

For example, ordinary crops are transformed into Bt (Bacillus thuringiensis) genes and Ht genes. Bt gene encodes a protein secreted by Bacillus thuringiensis, which is toxic to LEPIDOPTERA insects (such as Plutella xylostella). The crops carrying Bt gene can also produce this toxic protein when they grow, so the crops themselves can kill insects without using pesticides. This toxic protein is only effective on insects, and there is no evidence that it has toxic and allergic effects on humans or other mammals. Ht gene, also known as herbicide-resistant gene, can guide protein to decompose herbicide substances in plants, so that plants can gain the ability to resist high-concentration herbicides. Therefore, after spraying herbicides in the field, weeds will be killed because of insufficient resistance to herbicides, and crops can survive normally. Compared with non-transgenic crops, it is more economical to plant Ht transgenic crops by mechanical weeding.

development prospect

Since the first industrial application of 1996 transgenic crops, the global transgenic technology research and industrial application have developed rapidly. Developed countries have taken the development of transgenic technology as a strategic focus to seize the commanding heights of science and technology in the future and enhance the international competitiveness of agriculture. Developing countries have also actively followed suit and presented the following development trends:

First, the speed of variety cultivation has accelerated. With the development of life science, genomics, informatics and other disciplines, the research of transgenic technology is changing with each passing day, the level of research means and equipment is constantly improving, gene cloning technology is advancing by leaps and bounds, and some new genes, new characters and new products are constantly emerging. Variety cultivation is characterized by modernity. The new varieties of genetically modified organisms in the world have changed from the first generation products such as insect resistance and herbicide resistance to the second generation products that improve nutritional quality and yield, and the third generation products such as industry, medicine and bioreactor. The complex characteristics of multi-gene polymerization are becoming the focus of research and application of transgenic technology.

Second, the scale of industrial applications has expanded rapidly. By the end of 2009, 25 countries around the world had approved the commercial application of 24 kinds of genetically modified crops. The planting area of transgenic crops represented by transgenic soybeans, cotton, corn and rape increased from 25.5 million mu in 1996 to 2 billion mu in 2009, an increase of 79 times.

The United States is still the largest planting country, with an area of 960 million mu in 2009; Followed by Brazil, 32 1 10,000 mu; Argentina, 31950,000 mu; India, 1.26 million mu; Canada, 1.23 million mu; China, 55.5 million mu; Paraguay, 33 million mu; South Africa, 3 1.5 million mu. It is worth mentioning that since 2000, the United States has approved six kinds of herbicide-resistant and medicinal transgenic rice, and Iran has approved 1 transgenic insect-resistant rice for commercial cultivation; Canada, Mexico, Australia and Colombia have approved the import of genetically modified rice and allowed it to be eaten.

Third, the ecological and economic benefits are remarkable. From 1996 to 2007, the global cumulative income of genetically modified crops was as high as $44 billion, and the cumulative use of pesticides was reduced by 359,000 tons. In 2008, the global market value of genetically modified products reached $7.5 billion.

On 1 October 27th, 2009, 165438+ The Ministry of Agriculture approved the safety certificates of Huahui1and Bt Shanyou 63 transgenic rice and BVLA4301kloc-0/transgenic corn. The production and application of these two products are restricted in Hubei Province and Shandong Province respectively. Professor Zhang Qifa from Huazhong Agricultural University and his colleagues have obtained two safety certificates for genetically modified rice. This is the first time that China has issued a safety certificate for genetically modified rice, and it is also the first time in the world to issue a safety certificate for genetically modified staple food. However, the news of commercial planting of genetically modified rice has aroused various concerns and strong opposition from some netizens.

China signed the Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety under the International Convention on Biological Diversity on August 8, 2000, and the State Council ratified it on April 27, 2005, and China officially became a contracting party. The goal of the Protocol is to ensure the safety of genetically modified organisms and their products and minimize their potential damage to biodiversity and human health. In the absence of sufficient scientific basis, strict restrictions and prohibition measures can be taken on genetically modified organisms and products that other countries try to enter the country.

Article 23 of the Convention stipulates that strict risk assessment and risk management should be carried out on genetically modified organisms, so as to improve the transparency of decision-making and public participation. In the process of decision-making, we should solicit public opinions and inform the public of the results.

With the issue of genetic modification becoming a hot topic, more and more people begin to pay attention to genetic modification, but at the same time, there are many controversies about genetic modification.

Many articles and books (such as The War of Biochemical Surplus: The Conspiracy of Genetically Modified Foods and Vaccines) are one of the representative works against genetically modified organisms. Even some opponents say that supporting genetically modified people is a kind of fundamentalist hysteria. In the fields of scientific and technological principles, monitoring and ideology, there are still great disputes between supporters and opponents of transgenic technology.

Main influence

ecosystem

Reduce greenhouse gas emissions

The International Agricultural Biotechnology Application Service Organization (ISAAA) released the annual development report of 20 12 transgenic crops.

Commercialized D Global Status of Biotechnology/Genetically Modified Crops: 20 12 points out that in 20 12, the planting area of genetically modified crops in developing countries exceeded that of developed countries for the first time, and it is considered that developing genetically modified crops can reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

ISAAA analyzed the impact of genetically modified crops on the environment in its annual report. According to the report, in 20 1 1 year, 47,300 kilograms of pesticides will be saved by planting transgenic crops worldwide, and cultivated land will be saved by high-yield transgenic crops/kloc-0.09 million hectares, which is equivalent to reducing greenhouse gas emissions by about 23 billion kilograms. Generally speaking, planting genetically modified crops does not require large-scale field cultivation. Reducing tillage can keep more residues in the soil, thus capturing more carbon dioxide in the soil and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. In addition, less field work will inevitably reduce fuel consumption and the resulting carbon dioxide emissions. ? [23]?

Genetically modified crops are artificial varieties, and we can regard these varieties as exotic species that do not exist in nature. Generally speaking, alien species will pose a threat or danger to the environment or biodiversity for a long time. Sometimes it takes 10 years or even longer. Genetically modified crops have been planted commercially for five to six years, and some potential risks may not show up in such a short time. However, some risks have been confirmed at the laboratory level. For example, Mikkelsen et al. confirmed that the herbicide-resistant gene of herbicide-resistant transgenic rape can be transferred to its wild relatives through gene flow in the process of primary hybridization and primary backcross (Mikkelsen et al., 1996).

Agro-ecosystem also has various risks, such as:

Lead to an increase in pesticide dosage (selection and transfer of resistance to other compatible plants)

Generation of new weeds in farmland (gene flow and hybridization)

Transgenic plants themselves become weeds (competition for insertion traits)

Generation of new viruses (recombination of virus coat proteins of different virus genomes and transgenic crops)

Produce new crop pests

Damage to non-target organisms (ingested by herbivores)

The influence of animals

The myth of the truth comes from an article by Voice of Russia (Russian radio website) on April 10: "Russian scientists confirm that genetically modified food is harmful".

This paper mainly introduces a research achievement of Alexei zuroff, a researcher at the Institute of Ecology and Evolution of Russian Academy of Sciences. In this study, the researchers divided Campbell hamsters into four groups and fed them regular food. The difference is that one group of foods does not add anything, one group adds non-GM soybeans, another group adds GM soybeans, and the last group adds more GM soybeans. The results showed that the growth and sexual maturity of the offspring of hamsters who ate genetically modified soybeans were slower than those of the control group, and some hamsters lost their fertility. In addition, the deformity of long hair in the mouth was also found in the third generation hamster.

So, how reliable is this research conclusion?

First of all, the results of this study have not been officially published in scientific journals. We searched most important scientific databases (covering almost all important scientific documents), but failed to find any papers related to Dr. Alexei zuroff's research. In the famous anti-GM expert and international bestseller "Seed Deception" (this is a bestseller about GM food. Jeffrey Smith, the author of the Journal of Ecology, published an online article on April 20, 20 10, and saw a more detailed description of this study.

Jeffrey Smith's article specifically mentions that Alexei zuroff's research is expected to be published in three months (that is, in July). Unfortunately, until today, we haven't seen the paper of this research result. We can't guess why the paper was not published, but what is certain is that the conclusions of the paper that failed to pass the "peer review" mechanism are not credible. At the same time, as a scientist, it is extremely irresponsible to disclose the so-called "scientific conclusion" to the media before the experimental results are announced.

Another article by Alexei zuroff, "A New Organ Heterotopic: Hair in the Mouth of Some Rodents" [3], was published in the Russian domestic magazine "Dockwra Di Bioscience" in 2009. This paper describes the discovery of hair growth in hamster mouths raised in the laboratory, and introduces the growth distribution and composition of hair. At the end of the article, the author did not find the exact reason, but speculated that "it may be caused by genetically modified ingredients or pollutants contained in foods such as soybeans given to hamsters in the laboratory." In fact, this is only an accidental observation. The article has not investigated the cause of this deformity, so it is impossible to draw the conclusion that genetically modified food causes this deformity.

Approved crop

As of September 20 13, China has approved the safety certificate of transgenic production and application, and the crops within the validity period are cotton, rice, corn and papaya. Only cotton and papaya are approved for commercial cultivation. The issuance of the certificate is based on the application of the developer, the review by the Agricultural Genetically Modified Organisms Safety Committee, and the approval after discussion and approval by the ministerial joint meeting. The validity period is generally five years. The approval information of the certificate has been published on the website of the Ministry of Agriculture, and the approval status of each batch can be queried.

It has obtained the safety certificate of transgenic production and application, which is generally only used for scientific research and cannot be commercialized immediately. According to the requirements of People's Republic of China (PRC) Seed Law, genetically modified crops need to obtain variety certification, production license and business license before they can enter commercial planting. As of September, 20 13, genetically modified rice and genetically modified corn have not been approved by the seed law and have not been commercialized. However, the transgenic varieties of tomato and sweet pepper that had previously obtained the safety certificate for production and application were eliminated by the market because of no obvious advantages, and the certificate has expired.

To sum up, non-transgenic means that there is no transgenic, and it is an individual modification without transgenic technology.

At the same time, non-GMO is also an application of Android platform. Transgenic technology is to introduce artificially separated and modified genes into the genome of organisms, and the expression of the introduced genes causes genetic modification of biological traits. This technology is called transgenic technology. Non-transgenic plants are not genetically modified or have not been genetically modified. Non-GMO network provides you with information on the harm of genetically modified, non-GMO food guide, industry information and so on. In addition, this software also has the function of peripheral location, so that users can quickly find information about restaurants, supermarkets, parking services and so on around them, so that users can experience the mobile life service platform more conveniently. Tip: The "About Us" and "Service" columns in the application have the function of direct hotline dialing! Please pay attention during use! (Firmware version 1.6 and later are supported)
