Title: The use of genetically modified crops and assessing of its safety
Abstract: The appliance area of genetically modified crops in our country is only one percent of the world's,and only modified Bt gene cotton which has resistance to worms.This is because the study on the safety of genetically modified crops is not advanced.Maybe there are some genes that people haven't eaten before in them.There are two aspects about assessing the safety.One is if large appliance area of genetically modified crops will be bad to people's health and the other is if they will affect the environment.The assessing of ecology is to assess of if the pollen and seeds spread can form genetic pollution and descending of biology variety.It's also to assess if the crops can become super weeds and its risk on non-aim biology.Assessing if new products can cause food's allergenic reaction to people and if the pollen of genetically modified crops have allergic reaction is an important aspect of assessing if genetically modified products do harm to people and animals' health.Deep study on the safety should be done and the methods of assessing that are fit for Chinese reality should be sound.So the safety of modified genes will be no longer the main factor that limits genetically modified crops' commercialization.
