    Pears are not genetically modified.

    At present, there are no genetically modified apples and pears in China. Imported genetically modified foods include soybean oil, rapeseed oil, soybeans, etc.

    Those who oppose the cultivation of genetically modified crops do not always do so out of scientific doubts (not to mention whether the reasons are valid), but also out of their belief that humans should not grow "unnatural" crops. But none of the crops grown by humans today are "natural", all of them have been artificially modified. This process took place about 10,000 years ago in the Neolithic period, when humans began experimenting with growing food.

    During the planting process, the existing plants were found to have the desired traits (e.g., higher yield, better taste), so the seeds were retained and continued to be planted. In the next generation, the best "quality" is selected and planted below, so that the "excellent" varieties can be obtained by selecting them from generation to generation. Darwin later referred to this process as "manual selection".

    The process is very slow. In the Neolithic period, it took thousands of years to "domesticate" a wild plant. In 1719, the British botanist Fairchild invented a method of creating new varieties of crops - cross breeding, which crosses different varieties of crops and selects varieties with excellent characteristics among their offspring.

    At the beginning of the 20th century, the establishment of genetics provided a theoretical basis for crop breeding, and botanists used cross-breeding methods to create many new varieties with great practical value in agricultural production. These new varieties are not available in nature.

    The safety of genetically modified foods is still inconclusive", which is a common statement on **. This statement is inaccurate. International authorities have unanimously recognized that the genetically modified foods currently approved for marketing are safe.

    In 2002, a number of countries in southern Africa** consulted the United Nations on the safety of genetically modified foods, and the United Nations issued a statement on 27 August saying: "Based on information from countries** and available scientific knowledge, the view of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, the World Health Organization and the World Food Programme is that eating foods containing genetically modified ingredients that are provided as food aid in southern Africa are unlikely to pose a risk to human health." Therefore these foods can be eaten.

    These organizations confirmed that no scientific literature has been found so far to indicate that the consumption of these foods has adverse effects on human health. In a Q&A on genetically modified foods, the World Health Organization pointed out that "genetically modified foods currently available on the international market have passed risk assessments and are unlikely to pose a risk to human health."

    Moreover, in the general population of the countries where they were approved, the consumption of these foods has not been found to affect human health. ”

    Hello, glad to answer for you.

    The red eggplant pear is an American variety, not genetically modified, and was introduced to China from Yugoslavia in 1977 by the Foreign Introduction Office of the Institute of Variety Resources of the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences. This variety is the only one of the most beautiful excellent early maturing varieties of all cultivated pear varieties with a full purplish red color. It is cultivated in a small amount in Jiangsu, Liaoning, Hebei, Henan and other provinces in China, and has been introduced and planted in many provinces (municipalities and autonomous regions) such as Xinjiang, Yunnan, Beijing, Shanxi, Shandong, Sichuan, Hubei, Gansu, Shaanxi, Inner Mongolia, Anhui, and Guangdong.

    It is the only excellent early-maturing variety with the most beautiful appearance and comprehensive purple-red color among the pear varieties, with cool, sweet taste and slightly sour. into the lungs and stomach meridians. It helps in the digestion of the gastrointestinal tract and promotes the excretion of stool.

    Because red eggplant pears are cold and can not be eaten too much, every 100 grams can produce 155 kilojoules. **You can eat less during the period.

    Apple pears are hybrids and are not genetically modified plants.

    Yanbian apple pear is one of the excellent pear varieties in China, which has been cultivated for more than 80 years. In l921, Cui Fantou, the younger brother of Cui Changhao, Xiaoji Village, Laotougou Town, Longjing City, brought six scion from South Hakkyong Province, North Korea, and grafted them on the local cold-resistant pear rootstock, which was only 3 trees that survived at that time, and then carefully cultivated by several generations, and constantly selected and bred, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the country vigorously supported it from the manpower and material resources, so that the cultivation of Yanbian apple and pear has developed rapidly.

Transgenic is the grafting of genes from one species to another, at which point we can obtain a life organism that mixes the genes of different species, and this life form will produce some characteristics of the species that provide genes in the process of growth. If this technology is applied to plants, then the result is a genetically modified plant; If this technology is applied to animals, the result is genetically modified animals. Of course, there will also be genetically modified species between animals and plants, humans and animals and plants. >>>More
