Research On The Assessment Of GMF

GM foods research and development as one of the most important results of a modern gene-technology research and application, it may be bring human beings and generate tremendous benefits, for example, transgenic crops and low cost, high yield, which are equipped with herbicide resistance, insect resistance and anti - viruses and other characteristics;can improve food quality and nutritional value;convenient for transportation, storage; preservation of the increase. However, it may also have a negative impact to human beings or even disaster: transgenic foods long-term, cumulative and indirect impact, it is still difficult to determine.
