Transgenic rape is a kind of rape that has been artificially introduced into other organisms (animals, plants or microorganisms) and integrated into the genome of rape to obtain gene expression. These characteristic genes include disease resistance, insect resistance, herbicide resistance and high fat content, or high rapeseed yield. At present, insect-resistant and herbicide-resistant transgenic varieties have entered commercial production.
At present, there is a great controversy about genetically modified crops, which mainly focuses on two aspects.
First, planting genetically modified crops on a large scale may bring harm to the ecological environment or ecological balance.
Second, the food produced by genetically modified crops may bring harm to human health after long-term consumption.
