Genetically Modified Plants and Climate Change
Adaptive advantages to the environment, improved nutritional features, and reduced use of agrochemicals are just a few of the economic benefits gained through plant breeding with the help of genetic engineering. Despite the benefits, the justification for creating and employing such technology will vary depending on the context of the surrounding ...

Are Mutations in Genetically Modified Plants Dangerous?
Latham et al. [1] and Wilson et al. [2] reviewed the long known phenomenon that plant transformation may cause mutations. Mutations can occur at any position in the genome, due to the tissue culture phase or other factors. Furthermore, insertion mutations may be induced by Agrobacterium-mediated transformation or particle bombardment. The authors focus
