Introduction: escula, director of the National Institute of ecology of Mexico, recently pointed out that transgenic corn has changed the genes of Mexico's corn If measures are not taken as soon as possible, the precious biodiversity of Mexico's corn will be destroyed Escula stressed that the Mexican government will release a research report in the near future to prove that corn in some parts of Mexico is indeed "contaminated" by special DNA fragments of genetically modified corn Escula pointed out that Mexico has banned the cultivation of genetically modified corn since 1998, but several enterprises illegally sold the seeds of genetically modified corn to farmers in some parts of Mexico These farmers do not know the origin of these genetically modified corn seeds, and the local corn seeds mixed for planting, resulting in gene "pollution".
