Detection of Genetically Modified Organisms (GMO) and transgenic event
What is genetically modified organisms or GMO?
Genetically modified organisms are called transgenic or GMO, which are obtained by the advancement of genetic science and by changing one or more genes. The production of transgenic plants is one of the most popular fields, and currently a wide range of transgenic plants, especially soybean, rapeseed, corn and rice, have been created to produce plants with desirable characteristics to provide the food needs of the world people.
The reason for the production of transgenic plants and biosafety considerations
Transgenic plants have been produced to resist herbicides, pesticides, tolerance of environmental stresses such as drought, salinity, cold, etc., as well as produce more crops. It should be noted that these plants are evaluated in terms of biosafety and various effects on human health before being allowed for public consumption, they are allowed to grow and consume after global approvals. Also, the World Health Organization (WHO) has established principles and rules for these plants including the labeling of transgenic products for consumer information and the control and monitoring of these products are always done.
What plants and products are genetically modified or GMOs?
Dana Gene Pajouh company as a partner and trusted laboratory of the Food and Drug Organization and ISIRI can perform transgenic or GMO tests on a wide range of plants, including soybeans, canola, corn, rice, tomatoes, potatoes, cotton, and pumpkins, wheat and apples, etc. Also, we can detect in products containing GMO such as canned goods, chips and puffs, sausages, sausages, hamburgers, etc.
What is the transgenic event and how is it identified?
The step after confirming the GMO products can also identify the transgenic event. So, the type of specific gene transferred to the plant can be identified by these methods. The Dana Gene Pajouh Company can currently identify all events of transgenic soybean and corn by PCR method.
