People thousands of years ago that modify plants we use as food. Many of the fruit we eat today are the result of grafts that were made some time between different plants. Today, however, genetic engineering can be carried out in a controlled manner a few years previously cost modifications decades of work.
A transgenic or genetically modified organism (GMO) is one which, olea europaea olive fruit oil through genetic engineering, a gene called transgene was introduced, from another organism, or it has been deleted or modified gene itself.
Currently there are plants with very different purposes, such as resistance to certain olea europaea olive fruit oil microorganisms, insects and herbicides, obtaining fruits preserved longer or incorporating genes to produce substances such as vitamins or antibiotics.
Delayed maturation. The product takes longer to ripen after being harvested, which makes it last longer. The tomato Flavr Svr was the first GM food produced for mass consumption. Production of substances. Obtained plants that have special olea europaea olive fruit oil properties different from those of naturally or in improving the nutritional quality. Been achieved olea europaea olive fruit oil potatoes immunized against cholera or bacterial diarrhea. Quality improvement. The product improves the organoleptic qualities. Genetic engineering has provided varieties of coffee, more aromatic and less caffeine. Resistance to herbicides and insects. This produces a higher yield of crops. Certain varieties of soybeans are genetically resistant to herbicides. The transgenic maize supports attack certain insects such as the corn borer.
However, there are opinions that say that the cultivation of GM food brings many risks to the environment and to health. These risks include the loss of biodiversity, the generation of antibiotic resistance, development of resistance in insects and weeds or unwanted effects on other organisms.
Below we have a small collection of diverse opinions about people and organizations that can help GM to have their own opinion on the subject. GM on demand. The Quèquicom examines the pros and cons of genetically modified

crops and their potential effects on human health.
GREENPEACE What do you think? Against GMOs Greenpeace data to take into account Against GMOs Greenpeace: Problems of GMOs. `The use of GMOs in agriculture, what scientists think?
These questions and answers have been prepared by WHO in response to questions and concerns of a large number olea europaea olive fruit oil of Governments of Member States of the WHO regarding

the nature and safety olea europaea olive fruit oil of genetically modified foods.
Genetically modified organisms (GMOs) olea europaea olive fruit oil can be defined as organisms in which the genetic material (DNA) has been altered in an artificial way. The technology is generally called "modern biotechnology" olea europaea olive fruit oil or "gene technology", sometimes also "recombinant DNA technology" or "genetic engineering."

This allows selected individual genes transferred from one organism olea europaea olive fruit oil into another, also between non-related species. These methods olea europaea olive fruit oil are used to create GM plants - which are then used to develop GM food crops.
GM foods are developed, marketed, and because it is perceived as an advantage for producers and consumers of these foods. This is intended to result in a product with a lower price, greater benefits (in terms of durability or nutritional value) or both. Initially, individuals who developed GM seeds wished that their products were accepted by the producers, so they concentrated on innovations that farmers (and food industry in general) could appreciate. olea europaea olive fruit oil The initial objective of developing plants based on GM organisms was to increase crop protection. GM crops currently on the market have as main objective to increase the level of crop protection through the introduction of resistance to diseases caused by insects or viruses or through increased the plant tolerance to herbicides. Insect resistance is achieved by incorporating the food plant the gene producing toxins of the bacterium Bacillus olea europaea olive fruit oil thuringiensis (BT). This toxin is currently used as a conventional insecticide olea europaea olive fruit oil in agriculture and is harmless for human consumption. It has been shown that GM crops that permanently produce this toxin require smaller amounts of insecticides in specific situations, eg where pest pressure is high
