Genetically modified soybean found for the first time in Guangxi

Introduction: Recently, Guangxi entry exit inspection and quarantine department has detected genetically modified ingredients in the inspection and Quarantine of a batch of "non genetically modified soybeans" imported from the United States, which is the first time that Guangxi entry exit inspection and quarantine department has detected imported genetically modified plant products These soybeans are raw materials imported by a company of Guangxi epidemic prevention port from the United States for processing edible oil and soybean meal, with a total weight of nearly 60000 tons This batch of soybeans was declared as "non GMO soybeans" at the time of entry examination and approval The inspection and quarantine personnel carried out sampling and inspection according to the relevant provisions After the relevant departments used PCR technology to test the soybean samples submitted for inspection, the results showed that "35S promoter", "EPSPs herbicide resistant gene" and other transgenic components were detected Agricultural genetically modified organisms refer to the use of genetic engineering technology to introduce foreign genes into recipient organisms, change their genetic composition and generate new genotypes Transgenic technology has broken the limits of species hybridization Plants can not only obtain new genes from plants with a long relationship, but also extract genes from microorganisms and even animals, so as to improve the disease resistance, insect resistance, quality and yield of transgenic crops At present, genetically modified organisms are mainly soybeans, corn, tobacco, rape, etc the planting area of genetically modified soybeans in the United States accounts for 70% of the total soybean production, ranking first in the world Due to the stable properties of transgenic soybean, the per mu yield of soybean in the United States has increased rapidly and the production cost has been reduced In 1994, the average market price of soybeans in the world was US $250 per ton, but now it is only about US $180 7gd (author:) to feed Weibo to:
