â—Explanation of the details of the safety assessment of genetically modified phytase maize and transgenic insect-resistant rice
â— Controversy over GM crops, opponents' voices are getting smaller, positive comments are getting more
â— The public is still worried about its potential risks and calls for improving the legislation of GMO safety.
It may not be long before GM maize and rice come to our table!
The people regard food as the heaven. After an interview with the Nanfang Daily reporter, they discovered that most people in Guangzhou lacked a minimum understanding of genetically modified foods.
However, for Fan Yunliu, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, this news has waited too long. Fan also has another important title—the main researcher of transgenic phytase corn in China. Recently, he was excited to reveal to the media that the transgenic phytase corn developed by the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences has been approved by the state. At about the same time, the genetically modified rice that Huazhong Agricultural University was responsible for was also granted a safety license.
This means that China's genetically modified maize and rice with independent intellectual property rights will soon be available. On December 19, at the annual implementation report and academic symposium of the project of “cultivation of insect-resistant GM rice varieties†held by Huazhong Agricultural University, the participating experts agreed that the development and production of GM crops is an inevitable irresistible development of science and technology. trend. Industry sources also pointed out to reporters that this move is also a signal of the commercialization of “made in China†genetically modified grain, indicating that the country has increased the development of genetically modified industries to a strategic level.
From “Do you want to genetically modify†to “Why should you not commercialize?â€, the tide of objections worldwide has always followed suit. This obviously did not prevent the commercialization of China's GM, and the opponents did not "put in the towel": the commercialization of genetically modified organisms can, but it is necessary to control potential threats!
