An update on genetically modified crops [PDF]
Los cultivos geneticamente modificados (GM) fueron introducidos a mediados de los noventa y hay actualmente dos tecnologias principales de transgenicos en el mercado,los cultivos tolerantes a los herbicidas (HT) y los cultivos resistentes a insectos (cultivos Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt)). Los cultivos HT han simplificado y reducido los costos de manejo

Metabolomics of genetically modified crops. [PDF]
Metabolomic-based approaches are increasingly applied to analyse genetically modified organisms (GMOs) making it possible to obtain broader and deeper information on the composition of GMOs compared to that obtained from traditional analytical approaches.

Genetically modified crops in Chile [PDF]
The economical, environmental and social impacts associated with genetically modifi ed (GM) crops are supported by the increased use of GM species by farmers. This increase in the use of GM species has included a global increase in both the number of hectares with GM crops and the number of countries using this technology.

A meta-analysis of the impacts of genetically modified crops. [PDF]
Despite the rapid adoption of genetically modified (GM) crops by farmers in many countries, controversies about this technology continue. Uncertainty about GM crop impacts is one reason for widespread public suspicion.We carry out a meta-analysis of the agronomic and economic impacts of GM crops to consolidate the evidence.Original studies for ...

Development and detection of genetically modified crops [PDF]
Genetically modified crops (GMCs) have been known for the excellent qualities. The commercializing of GMCs has taken great economic and social benefits. However, the bio-security of GMCs was still an issue.

Perspectives on genetically modified crops and food detection. [PDF]
Genetically modified (GM) crops are a major product of the global food industry. From 1996 to 2014, 357 GM crops were approved and the global value of the GM crop market reached 35% of the global commercial seed market in 2014. However, the rapid growth of the GM crop-based industry has also created controversies in many regions, including the European
