Identification of genetically modified crops in Tajikistan

The technology of genetically modified crops (also called GM crops, GM products) allows, using genetic engineering methods, to select a specific genetic trait of one organism for inclusion in the genome of the original crop. This has made it possible to develop food crops with beneficial properties and eliminate undesirable properties in others. Despite the great agricultural benefits of transgenic crops, they have not gained acceptance in some countries: a) consumer suspicion due to allergic reactions observed to some transgenic products, b) lack of international regulations regarding these GM crops and c) negative environmental impacts Wednesday. Impacts resulting from mass production of transgenic crops, such as loss of genetic diversity, development of more adaptive weeds, migration of transgenic genes to their wild relatives, and less likely migration of transgenic genes to other unrelated organisms through horizontal transfer [1]. In addition, contamination of food products with transgenic residues has prompted various countries to restrict the import of food products made from transgenic plants or plants labeling products or ingredients as or derived from transgenic crops [2
