    No. The current genetically modified soybeans in our country.

    It's all imported. China is the homeland of soybeans, which have been cultivated for about 5,000 years, and there are residues of soybeans in Neolithic sites. Pre-Qin period.

    Soybeans are called "soybeans", which is one of the five grains and is an important plant protein for Chinese.

    **。It is said to have been invented by Liu An, the king of Huainan in the Western Han Dynasty.

    The tofu has become a model for the application of soybeans in food in China, and has been passed down to this day. After the introduction of soybeans to the United States in the 18th century, the suitable natural environment and the development of soybean utilization made the United States surpass China in soybean production in the 40s of the last century, ranking first in the world. China has been importing soybeans from the United States since 1995, and in 1996 the United States approved the commercial cultivation license of genetically modified soybeans, so since 1997, China has been importing genetically modified soybeans.

    Imports were 2.88 million tonnes that year, and this number has increased year by year, and in 2013, China imported 63.4 million tonnes of soybeans, the vast majority of which were genetically modified soybeans. According to the relevant provisions of the "Measures for the Examination and Approval of Agricultural Genetically Modified Organism Processing", the Ministry of Agriculture.

    It is only allowed after approval and approval. At present, the Ministry of Agriculture only approves the import of genetically modified soybeans for oil extraction, and its processed products are soybean oil and soybean meal as feed.

    Therefore, unless it is obtained from informal sources or for other reasons, domestic soy products such as tofu and soy milk should be processed from domestic non-GMO soybeans.

    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.

    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 soybeans. 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 were developed to complement the use of glyphosate herbicides. Herbicides are selective and non-selective, glyphosate is a non-selective herbicide that kills a variety of plants, including crops, so that although this herbicide works well, it is difficult to use. Glyphosate kills plants by destroying EPSPS synthase in plant chloroplasts or plastides.

    Through the method of transgenic, the plant can produce more EPSPS enzyme, which can resist licoricephine, so that the crop will not be killed by glyphosate herbicide. With such genetically modified soybeans, farmers will not have to use multiple herbicides as in the past, but can kill a variety of weeds with just one herbicide, glyphosate. At present, in addition to soybeans, there are many other glycyrrhizate-resistant genetically modified crops, including rapeseed, cotton, corn, etc.

    In addition to glyphosate-resistant crops, there are also crops resistant to glyphosate-resistant herbicides, but the principle of glufosinate and glyphosate killing plants is not the same, and the genes transgenic for cultivating these two types of crops are also different. At present, genetically modified soybeans are mainly used to refine soybean oil.

    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.
