    GMOs (genetically modified organisms) are transgenic plants created to have benefits like increased resistance to weeds, pests, and diseases which allows for bigger yields and more efficient land use. Examples include Bt cotton, Bt brinjal, Bt tomato, golden rice, and GM maize. While GMOs can positively impact the environment, their socio-political implications are debated as genetic manipulation may alter crop allergens, leading the EU to implement strict GMO labeling laws and restrict GM crop growth and imports in 1998.

    ¿WHAT IS GENE?
    GMOs
    trangenic plants
    BENEFITS OF USING GM PLANTS
    Creating plants better resistant to
    weeds, pest and other diseases.

    Bigger yields to create more


    efficient use of land, less uses of
    herbicides and other pesticides.

    Foods with better texture, flavor


    and nutritional value.
    EXAMPLES:
    Bt Cotton
    Bt Brinjal
    Bt Tomato
    Golden rice
    GM Maize

    USES
    Positive Environmental Impacts
    Of GMO´S
    SOCIO-POLITICAL RELEVANCE OF GMOs

    •Genetic manipulation may potentially alter the allergenic properties


    of crops.
    •In 1998 the European union (EU) addressed such concerns by
    implementing strict GMO labelling laws and a moratorium on the
    growth and import of GM crops.
    thank you
