Genetically modified wheat. Conceptual image of test tubes with ears of wheat (Triticum sp.) and a syringe. This could represent research on genetic modification of food crops. Genetically modified (GM) wheat plants exist,but,as of 2003,none had been grown commercially. There are concerns over whether GM and non-GM wheat can co-exist,or whether the GM crop will affect non-GM varieties. Genetic modification is where an organism's DNA is altered to create inherited changes in that organism. The changes usually include an improved resistance to disease | |
