Effects of Transgenic Crops on Non-Target Organisms | Pest Management

One of the major public concerns about transgenic crops is their effect on non-target organisms. The results of a number of studies have demonstrated that the effects of transgenic crops on non-target organisms including natural enemies and other arthropods are likely to be much less severe than those of the broad-spectrum insecticides.

Achievements of Transgenic Crops (With Diagram) | Agriculture

Some of the achievements of transgenic crops are as follows: 1. Production of Protein Hirudin: Hirudin is an anticoagulant and prevents blood clotting. The gene responsible for encoding hirudin is chemically synthesised. This gene is transferred to Brassica napus and hirudin synthesised gets accumulated in seeds. Hirudin is purified and used for medicinal purpose. In this, transgene product is the [...]
