What are the genetically modified corn varieties?

In order to increase the yield and improve the quality of crops, there are genetically modified crops. The common genetically modified crops are soybeans, corn, fruits and so on. Corn is a crop grown in many areas. Do you know what genetically modified corn varieties are? Let's get to know it.

1. Transgenic insect-resistant maize Bt-176

Transgenic Bt- 176 maize has the characteristics of resistance to Lepidoptera, especially corn borer and resistance to glyphosate herbicides. Since the first unrestricted planting in the United States in 1995, Bt- 176 corn has been widely planted and widely used as food and feed in Japan (1996), Canada (1996), Argentina and the member states of the European Union (1997).

2. Genetically modified corn NK603

Genetically modified corn NK603 is a kind of genetically modified corn developed by Monsanto in the United States. through transgenic technology, this kind of corn is resistant to the glyphosate herbicide "Roundup" produced by Monsanto. But the Kane University team found that experimental mice fed with NK603 and Roundup-contaminated feed had a very high incidence of tumors and other visceral injuries.

3. Genetically modified corn MON810

Genetically modified corn MON810 is a variety developed by Monsanto in the United States, but it is reported that the French Ministry of Agriculture has announced that it will ban the cultivation, use and sale of Monsanto's MON810 genetically modified corn. The reason is that MON810 genetically modified corn will do harm to the environment.

4. Transgenic maize BVLA430101 with phytase gene.

According to the audit information released by the biosafety website of the Chinese Ministry of Agriculture, the approved GM corn-the phytase gene corn BVLA430101 declared by the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences (CAAS) is mainly used in Shandong Province at present, and the limited period of the safety certificate is from August 17, 2009 to August 17, 2014.

5. Other transgenic maize varieties

And the Ministry of Agriculture ordered a ban on the sale of a batch of suspected genetically modified corn seeds. They are Shibin 338,168,788, Pengcheng 8, Pengcheng 5, Fu er 216, Fu er Yu I 116, Qiaojing 607, Tayu 1, Dika 1, Dika 3, Yuanfa 815, Jiahe 558, Jinyu 29, Zhongnong University 236, Zhongnong University 4, Denghai 3686, Yuanyu 66, Fuxing 2000, Yinhe 14, Juhe 20, Heyu 187, Yamei 72, Vanguard 252, Yuanke 701, Yuanke 701, Yinghe 14 The names of all products packaged by Liao Dan 570 and Jinqing 707.

Genetically modified corn is not allowed to be planted and cannot be sold, so growers must not buy these GM corn varieties introduced above when buying corn seeds. Do you have anything to add about genetically modified corn?
