    China only allows the import of genetically modified soybeans to make edible oil, which means that it is illegal to sell genetically modified soybeans directly. Moreover, genetically modified soybeans are not approved for cultivation in China. So the probability that you will buy genetically modified soybeans in the domestic market is almost zero

    Secondly, genetically modified soybeans (here referred to those approved for cultivation in the United States, Brazil and other countries) have not published any authoritative institutions or scientists in the world to prove that they are harmful, and international organizations such as the WHO and FDA agree that the safety of genetically modified crops is the same as that of ordinary crops.

    Our country allows edible oil made from genetically modified soybeans to be marketed, and soybean meal from oil extraction is also widely used in the breeding industry to feed animals, and there are no reports that it is harmful to animals.

    Hello, genetically modified soybeans are not grown in our country, only directly imported.

    The only genetically modified crops approved for cultivation in China are cotton and papaya.

    Soybeans, corn, cotton, oilseed rape and sugar beet are approved for import processing. There are countless foods that are processed and made into countless foods, such as edible oil, protein powder, corn syrup, thickeners, and sucrose, all of which may be processed from genetically modified crops.

    Globally, soybeans are one of the most widely cultivated genetically modified crops. In 2010, 10% of the world's arable land was planted with genetically modified crops. 29 countries, 11 genetically modified crops, and about 400 million acres are cultivated.

    The big growers are the United States, Brazil, Argentina, India and Canada.

    Currently, 77% of the world's soybean production comes from genetically modified crops.

    Soybeans produced in our country

    None are genetically modified

    But almost all of the tens of millions of tons of soybeans that China imports every year are genetically modified

    Genetically modified soybeans are soybean plants that have undergone genetic engineering to alter their genomes.

    These techniques often involve the introduction of genes from other species or modified genes from the soybean itself into soybean plants to increase soybean resistance, increase yields, improve quality, or improve other traits. These technologies aim to create more stress-tolerant, high-quality, high-yielding soybean varieties by altering plant genomes.

    Traditionally, methods of improving crop varieties have included techniques such as selective breeding, crossing, and mutation. But these technologies require a lot of time, manpower and resources, and progress is slow. The introduction of genetic engineering technology has enabled scientists to modify plant genes faster and more accurately to create new, high-quality crop varieties.

    Genetically modified soybeans are widely cultivated across the globe, with the largest producers being the United States, Brazil, and Argentina. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, genetically modified soybeans are planted on about 95 million acres in the United States, accounting for more than 90% of the country's soybean acreage. Genetically modified soybeans are also planted in Brazil and Argentina on a very large scale.

    The principle of genetically modified soybeans:

    Genetically modified soybeans were developed to complement the use of glyphosate herbicides. Herbicides are selective and non-selective, whereas glyphosate is a non-selective herbicide. Glyphosate-resistant genetically modified crops are currently the largest genetically modified crops in the world.

    Glyphosate kills plants by destroying EPSPS in plant chloroplasts or ligylids.

    With the transgenic method, plants can produce more EPSPS enzymes to resist glycyrrhizate, so that crops are not killed by glyphosate herbicides. With this genetically modified, soybeans, farmers do not need to use multiple herbicides as Bushan did in the past, only Hongfeng needs glyphosate herbicides to kill all kinds of weeds.

    Genetically modified soybeans are resistant to the herbicide glyphosate (poison drop mixture). Glyphosate kills common soybean plants along with weeds. This soybean is known as genetically modified soybean.

    And this genetically modified technology has finally moved out of the laboratory and experimental fields into the daily cultivation of crops like corn, soybeans and cotton.

    Genetically modified soybeans are inactive, cannot germinate, are prone to odor, and have serious pollution to water bodies. Non-GMO soybeans have good activity, can germinate, have no peculiar smell, and have no pollution to water bodies.

    Genetically modified black beans have larger grains, the color is not particularly black, and the beans are about the same size. Non-GMO black beans have small, somewhat flattened grains, light colors, and beans of different sizes.

    Black beans have the characteristics of high protein and low calorie, with a protein content of more than 45%. Among them, the high-quality protein is about 1 4 higher than soybeans, ranking first among all kinds of beans, so it has also won the reputation of "the king of beans". Compared with protein-rich meat, black beans are not only not inferior, but even better, with a protein content equivalent to twice that of meat (pork, chicken), three times that of eggs, and 12 times that of milk, so it is also known as "plant-based protein meat".

    The principle of transgenic technology is to introduce artificially isolated and modified high-quality genes into the genome of organisms, so as to achieve the purpose of modifying organisms. Due to the expression of introduced genes, the traits of the organism are caused to change the heritable modifications, and this technology is called artificial transgene technology.

    Artificial transgenic technology is a biotechnology that transfers genes from one organism into the DNA of another organism. There is uncertainty. Commonly used methods and tools include microinjection, gene gun, electrolysis, liposomes, etc.

    Transgenesis was originally used to study the function of genes, that is, to introduce foreign genes into the genome of recipient organisms (generally model organisms, such as Arabidopsis thaliana or zebrafish, etc.), to observe the traits exhibited by the organism, so as to achieve the purpose of revealing the function of genes.

    First from left, genetically modified black beans, second from left, genetically modified soybeans, first from right, non-genetically modified black beans.

    Genetically modified technology refers to the use of molecular biology technology to transfer the genes of certain organisms into other species, and modify the genetic material of organisms, so that the modified organisms can change to the goals of human needs in terms of traits, nutrition and consumption quality.

    This process of transferring genes by means of biotechnology is what is now often referred to as transgenesis. It is not fundamentally different from the genes transferred by artificial hybridization methods, but the transgenesis carried out by biotechnology has a strong purpose - only the genes that are needed are transferred, and the unwanted and harmful genes are completely excluded, which can improve efficiency and speed up the process of breed improvement. At the same time, modern transgenic technology can also transfer distant biological genes, or even synthetic genes, into the varieties we need.

    Hello, genetically modified soybeans are oblate or oval, dark yellow in color, and the obvious difference with non-genetically modified soybeans is that the navel is yellowish-brown, and the navel of non-genetically modified soybeans is light yellow. You can also soak it in water yourself, and genetically modified soybeans generally do not germinate. I hope my answer is helpful to you.

    Please rate me, thanks.

    The target gene is introduced into the genome of soybean through various techniques, and the soybean is hereditary. It will definitely cause harm to the human body, and it is unknown now, but people all over the world know it after eating it for decades. Genetically modified soybeans are black navel beans, and ordinary ones are not black.

    Don't dodge, it's useless, the Empire will find you to feed you.

    Genetically modified organisms (GMOs) refer to the transfer of a foreign gene into the cell of an organism so that it has a trait that was not originally available. This is how genetically modified soybeans are formed.
