Many GMO crops are used to make ingredients that Americans eat such as cornstarch, corn syrup, corn oil, soybean oil, canola oil, or granulated sugar.

Combining genes from different organisms is known as recombinant DNA technology and the resulting organism is said to be ‘Genetically modified (GM)’, ‘Genetically engineered’ or ‘Transgenic’. The principal transgenic crops grown commercially in field are herbicide and insecticide resistant soybeans, corn, cotton and canola.

A genetically modified soybean is a soybean (Glycine max) that has had DNA introduced into it using genetic engineering techniques. [1]: 5 In 1996, the first genetically modified soybean was introduced to the U.S. by Monsanto. In 2014, 90.7 million hectares of GM soybeans were planted worldwide, making up 82% of the total soybeans cultivation area. [2]

2021年2月10日 · GMOs (genetically modified organisms) continue to be a hot topic in the food space, and soybeans are a particularly large part of that conversation since they make up a significant…

The 10 genetically modified crops available today: alfalfa, apples, canola, corn (field and sweet), cotton, papaya, potatoes, soybeans, squash and sugar beets.

2003年5月1日 · With the significant intrinsic allergenicity of soybeans, producing hypoallergenic soybeans would be a desirable commodity given the presence of soybean protein in a large fraction of processed and prepared foods in industrialized countries.

Genetic manipulation through selective breeding of agricultural plants and animals is not new. Unlike selective breeding, though, transgenic technology allows for the se lection of individual genes from one species, their transfer to another species, and con trol over the expression of the transferred genes (transgenes) within the new host. Ge netically modified foods (GMFs) are …

2024年10月31日 · The soybean (Glycine max) is a globally important crop due to its high protein and oil content, which serves as a key resource for human and animal nutrition, as well as bioenergy production.
