To produce a genetically modified plant, scientists first determine what trait the plant is expected to have, such as resistance to drought, herbicides, or insects. Then he finds a plant, animal or microorganism that already has this feature in his genes.

For example, scientists wanted to create insect-resistant corn to reduce the need to use pesticides in farming. In the studies, they detected a gene in a soil bacterium called Bacillus thuringiensis, which produces a natural pesticide that has been used in traditional and organic agriculture for many years.

After scientists found this gene with the desired trait, they copied it. In this study, the gene that will provide the insect resistance feature of the maize plant was inserted into the DNA of maize using technological methods. In this way, the insect resistance feature of the corn plant has been gained. This is a gene transfer process and other existing characteristics of maize are not changed by this process. The important process after gene transfer is the testing process. In this process, the genetically modified plant is subjected to in-depth examination and testing. These studies usually take several years to complete.

In recent scientific advances in plant and animal breeding, scientists are looking for ways to create new crops and animal varieties using a process called genome editing. These techniques are meant to make changes that were previously made with conventional breeding methods easier and faster. Scientists plan to use new genome editing tools to make crops more nutritious, drought tolerant and resistant to insect pests and diseases. The genome is all of the genetic instructions used to reveal physicochemical properties in the cell, which is the most basic unit of living things.

On the other hand, there is no scientific consensus on the safety of GMOs. To date, there has been no study investigating the potential effects of GMO foods on human health. no study has been done. Most of the research used to claim that GMOs are safe has been done by companies using this technology.

Our organization acts with a sense of responsibility in order to be with people who consciously care about their health and to help them choose the foodstuffs they will need, and tries to support manufacturers to prove their efforts in this direction.
