Genetically modified soybean makes soybean lose its nature

Introduction: Xinhua Heilongjiang channel, Oct 29 Xinhua Heilongjiang channel, Oct 29 Xinhua Heilongjiang channel, since the commercialization of GM soybeans in 1996, more than a dozen crops around the world, such as soybeans, corn, cotton, wheat, have been contaminated by imported GM successively "Our province is a big province of soybean resources and is facing the threat of imported genetically modified soybeans." Liu Zhongtang, a famous soybean expert in our province, is worried It4 is the hometown of soybean in China, with more than 20000 varieties and 6700 wild soybean germplasm resources As the main soybean producing area in China, the soybean production of our province accounts for about 1 / 3 of the whole country However, the soybean resources in our province are facing the threat of gene pollution China imports more than 10 million tons of genetically modified soybeans every year Once these soybeans are planted in the fields, they may pollute the soybean resources in China Liu Zhongtang said that as long as there are genes, the characters will be controlled At present, research has shown that there are unknown gene segments in transgenic soybean According to it4, after the release of transgenic soybean, there will be gene drift, i.e hybridization, change of characters, loss of the original face of germplasm resources Liu Zhongtang said that Mexico's more than 300 maize germplasm resources were polluted by imported genetically modified maize as an example Liu Zhongtang, a researcher at it4, said that there are many valuable things in soybean resources that have not been studied Once polluted, it may lead to irreversible loss of biodiversity In the face of no transgenic soybean in Heilongjiang Province, we should establish a non transgenic soybean reserve, strongly oppose the landing of transgenic soybean, and protect the soybean resources in Heilongjiang Province It is reported that Liu Zhongtang has proposed to the relevant departments to establish a non transgenic soybean reserve to protect the quality resources of soybeans in our province It4
