GMO Testing
Price On RequestA genetically modified organism (GMO) is a plant or animal that has had its DNA artificially altered in a laboratory by genes from other plants, animals, viruses, or bacteria, in order to produce foreign compounds. This type of genetic alteration is not found in nature, and is experimental. The correct scientific term is transgenic, and is also often referred to as (GE) genetically engineered. These modifications are made to provide specific properties like pest resistance, herbicide tolerance, disease resistance, cold tolerance, drought tolerance, salinity tolerance, nutritional value addition, pharmaceutical, phytoremediation etc. to the organisms in order to increase the production, nutritional and other values. Food derived from such organisms is called Genetically Modified Food (GM Food). Examples of GMO s which have been generated using this methodology include Sugar beet, Chicory, Corn, Cotton, Flax, Melon, Papaya, Mustard, Potato, Rapeseed, Rice, Soybean, Squash, Tomato, Barley. Others like wheat are under development.
